This paper verifies that Mandarin Chinese has underived accomplishment verbs. Even though no underived accomplish-ment is consistent with Vendlerian classification, they are indeed one primitive aspectual verb class, whose culmination is implied. They differ from Resultative verbs compound in semantic structure. We use a novel diagnostic to distinguish accomplishment verbs from activity ones and prove the implied culmination:"Agent VP1-zhe VP2". This paper, furthermore, uses the neutral theories of Altshuler to explain why the progressive marker zai can cancel the culmination implicature of accomplishment while the durative marker zhe cannot.%汉语里存在着单语素完结体动词,从语义结构来看它不等同于动结结构的完结体动词,它的完结含义可被突显也可被取消. 另外采用"主语+V1着V2"的伴随动作结构进行验证,把汉语里的完结体动词与活动体动词区分开. 最后探讨为什么汉语里面的现在体标记"—在"能取消完结体动词的完结含义,而持续体标记"—着"却不能.
