VOA: 《NASA Makes Progress Toward Deep-space Travel》
Saturday from the launch pad at NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi,
the serospace agency tested its space launch system.
Rockets fired for roughly eight minutes, generating 725 metric tons of thrust
while guzzling more than 2600 cubic meters of fuel to simulate internal conditions for lift off.
以上,是美国记者播报新闻时说的,出现了Rockets fired for roughly eight minutes, fire是短暂动词,为何可将来接for一段时间呢?
在 https://www.cpsenglish.com/question/46855 老师说 主语需要是人,短暂动词+for一段时间是可以的。
并且说The shop opened for three hours. 则为错句。
那样,我提问的Rockets fired for roughly eight minutes 该如何理解呢? 另外请教老师Saturday from the launch pad 这里的from如何理解含义使用方法?
fire 在此是点火的意思,for时间状语表示点火后燃料燃烧这个状况的持续时间。这个持续时间是提前计划好的,依据这期间可以评估火箭的推理和消耗的燃料。一般人为主语,比如这个句子可以说成,They fired the rocket for 8 minute.
