【问】 Winter is come.He is gone.是否分别是Winter has come.和He has gone.之误?

【答】 Winter is come.和He is gone.都是正确的英语句子。它们与Winter has come.He hasgone.是两种不同的结构，表达完全不同的含义。前者既不是被动语态，也不是现在完成时，而是联系动词be+形容词，表达动作完成之后的状态(state)。He is gone，是指“他现在不在这儿了”，强调动作结束后所造成的结果。而He has gone.是现在完成式，表达已完成的动作(action)。英语里类似Winter is come.的句子是非常之多的。
