我比较常在另外一个本地论坛，那里温度也不高，但我习惯呆在那里...... 我3/4英校，但也不能因此证明英文有多好，其实我的英文也没好到哪里，呵呵。

I just found this topic. I am sure i will always come here. But now, i have a question to ask you.
What is the difference between these two sentecences below?
1. You are not supposed to be doing that, David.
2. You are not supposed to do that, David.

In my opinion, i think there is not difference. Both is true and has the same meaning. But, i would not use the first choice because it is not so smooth when speaking it out. The second is closer to chinese style. Easy to speak.

For example, will you say
1. I was told not to be playing around here.
2. I was told not to play around here.

first one or second one in your daily conversation.
I certainly choose the second.
请多多指教，learn together。

I have been facing this kind of problem, can you show me a guide?

for example
1. I should have been finishing .........

should + have been (verb+ing)
   
We seldom say this style sentence and when we are going to use this kind of sentence. Thank you in advance.

很好，欢迎常来，这里真的很缺少人气......

1. You are not supposed to be doing that, David.
2. You are not supposed to do that, David.

语法上都没错，但我想哪个表达方式比较适合应该视情况而定。我尝试举两个例子来说明看看：
1) 妈妈规定孩子在某一段时间必须温书，但却发现孩子偷偷跑去看电视，可能会说：
You're not supposed to be watching TV right now.
你这个时候不应该在看电视（，应该在温书）。
但一般上如果重点只是放在某个动作或行为，第二种表达方式似乎比较恰当，如：
2) You are not supposed to stay up late.

In my opinion, i think there is not difference.

肯定会有分别，重点和表达的角度会有差别。

The second is closer to chinese style. Easy to speak.

其实，语言的共同点都是人类的逻辑，所以不同的语言往往“像是那么遥远，却又那么靠近”......
我上面那个看电视的例子，中文也会这么说：你这个时候不应该在看电视。这相等于英文的 ... supposed to be watching TV。

1. I was told not to be playing around here.
2. I was told not to play around here.
first one or second one in your daily conversation.
I certainly choose the second.

我也会用第二种表达方式，因为我的重点是“玩耍”这个动作，而不是“玩耍”的状态。
就好像我们说”Do not play here“ ，而不说“Do not be playing here”

这种结构的句子的确比较少用到，另一种句子：should have （past participle）则较常用到。
这类句子用于表达过去没做，但应该做的事情，如：
I shouldn't have kept you waiting. 我（过去）不该让你久等。
事实是：I kept you waiting. 而我不应该那样做（I shouldn't have done that)。

你所提到的那种句子，我举个例子吧：
（过去）当每个人都在为考试准备的时候，你却在看电视，我认为你也应该为考试温书做好准备，我可能会这么说：
Everybody was studying for the coming exam while you were watching TV. You should have been studying for the exam.
我的重点在于那个时候你应该在做什么。

That's really a great say. It really makes sense. By the way you said,

1. Everybody was studying for the coming exam while you were watching TV. You should have been studying for the exam.

2. Everybody was studying for the coming exam while you were watching TV. You should have studied for the exam.

Then, is the second sentence above correct also compared with the first sentence?

2. Everybody was studying for the coming exam while you were watching TV. You should have studied for the exam.

那样说，可能前后不搭，因为我后面一句是想表达那个时候他应该在温书而不是在看电视。
再举个例子，如果是以下的上下文，我就会那么说：
You failed the exam because you didn't study hard enough. You should have studied harder for the exam.
