She dropped the tray when I spoke to her.为什么用dropped,spoke?
为什么不能用was speaking to her?我正跟她讲话的时候,她把盘子掉下去了.
“She dropped the tray when I spoke to her.”和“She dropped the tray when I was speaking to her.”两句都对,后一句强调“我正在说话的时候”.不过,在(过去)进行时态的结构中,英语更习惯说“I was speaking to her when she dropped the tray.”
而且,speak to sb(about sth)还有个意思就是“(就某事)劝告,责备”.也可能翻译为:我责备她的时候她摔下盘子.
