Atelic

无终体


A term used in the grammatical analysis of aspect, to refer to an event where the activity has no clear terminal point. Atelic verbs include look, play and sing (in such contexts as he’s singing, etc.). They contrast with telic verbs, such as kick, where there is a clear end-point.


体的语法分析中用来指动作没有明显终止点的事件。无终动词包括look“看”,play“玩”,sing“唱”(用于he’s singing“他在唱歌”的语境)等。相对立的是终结动词,有明显的终止点,如kick“踢”。
