This Journal published in 2016 an article by Jerome Moran on ‘Tense, Time and Aspect in the Greek Verb’ (Moran, 2016). It rightly pointed to the unsatisfactory nature of the treatment of the concept of ‘verbal aspect’ in available grammars and language courses, but did not sufficiently, I think, throw light on the issue for practising teachers and their students, nor did it satisfactorily clarify the intellectual issue posed. And yet this concept, which is not difficult to understand, is all-embracing and lies at the heart of the meaning of verbs in the classical language so that it is important to understand the distinctions it provides within the scope of the Greek verb.

“方面”作为古典希腊动词的意义特征

本刊于 2016 年发表了杰罗姆·莫兰 (Jerome Moran) 的一篇关于“希腊动词的时态、时间和方面”的文章（莫兰，2016 年）。它正确地指出了现有语法和语言课程中对“语言方面”概念的处理不令人满意的性质，但我认为，它并没有充分阐明实践教师和他们的学生的问题，也没有令人满意地澄清提出的智力问题。然而，这个不难理解的概念是包罗万象的，是古典语言中动词意义的核心，因此理解它在希腊动词范围内提供的区别很重要。
