a. Used to可指过去的状态或情况,would则不能。如:
School children used to know the story of how Abraham Lincoln walked five miles to return a penny he"d overcharged a customer.(不能用would)
过去,学校的孩子们都知道亚伯拉罕·林肯怎样步行5英里退还多收顾客1便士的故事。
Yet,he cannot but remember China as it used to be.然而,他不会不记得旧日的中国(不能用would)。
b. Would表示反复发生的动作。如果某一动作没有反复性,就不能用 would,只能用 used to。例如:
And from that day on, as soon as the table was cleared and the dishes were gone. Mother would disappear into her sewing room to practice.
从那天起,只要碗盘撤掉、饭桌一清理干净,妈妈就马上躲进做针线活的房间练习起来。(具有反复性)
I used to live in Beijing. 我过去住在北京。(没有反复性)
c. Used to表示过去经常性或习惯性的动作或状态现在已经结束,would则表示有可能再发生。如:
People used to believe that the earth was flat.
过去,人们总以为地球是扁平的。(现在已不再这样认为)
would表过去长干某事现在也可能干,而used to则表示过去常常干某事,而现在不干了。
would是过去将来时,而used to 是纯过去时
