John, you look sad today.

Yes, I made a bad investment decision.
是的，我做了一个错误的投资决定。
I've been watching the cryptocurrency markets for a few hours...and well, let's just say my bank account is hurting.
我已经关注加密货币市场几个小时了……嗯，这么说吧，我的银行账户正在受损。
Oh! I'm sorry. What happened?
噢！对不起。发生了什么？
On Twitter, Elon Musk made fun of the cryptocurrency I invested in.
埃隆·马斯克在推特上取笑了我投资的加密货币。
Nobody wants it now! Why doesn't anybody want to buy GRAMMAR COINS?
现在没人想要它了！为什么没有人想买语法币？
To be honest, GRAMMAR COINS is a terrible name.

Well, at least this situation gives us a chance to talk about grammar.
好吧，至少这种情况给了我们一个谈论语法的机会。
How so?
为什么这么说呢？
The PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS is the verb tense I've been using to describe this situation.
现在完成进行时是我用来描述这种情况的动词时态。
Right! The term "perfect" gives the idea that one thing happens before something else.
没错！“完成时”指的是一件事发生在另一件事之前。
And the "continuous" (or progressive) part of the name suggests that the action is ongoing.
而名称中的“进行时”部分表示动作正在进行。
So when you said "I've been watching the cryptocurrency markets for a few hours...", you were suggesting that you started watching the markets a few hours ago and continue to watch them right now.
所以，当你说“我已经关注加密货币市场几个小时了……”时，你的意思是你几个小时前就开始关注加密货币市场了，且现在还在关注它们。
Yes, that's right...
是的，没错......
I have been losing money since Elon Musk made that Twitter post.

I hope you learned your lesson.

It's better to make safe investments--like my emu farm!
最好是进行安全的投资——比如我的鸸鹋养殖场！
I've been making money selling emus for five years now.
我靠卖鸸鹋赚钱已经五年了。
And that's Everyday Grammar!
以上就是今天的《每日语法》！
