关于英语里被动语态的用法
被动语态,即不知道动作执行者或强调动作承受者的一种语态。英语的语态是通过动词形式的变化表现出来的。英语中有两种语态:主动语态和被动语态。这些你都了解吗。接下来我在这里给大家带来英语里被动语态的用法,我们一起来看看吧!
英语里被动语态的用法
1、用主动形式表示被动意义。
主动形式来表示被动意义主要有以下六个考点:
1)某些连系动词如 smell,feel,taste,sound,prove等可表达被动含义。如:
The story sounds interesting. 这个故事听起来很有趣.
The apple smells nice.这个苹果闻起来很香。
2)某些表示“发生”(happen,take place)“爆发”(break out/ burst out)和“传播(spread)”等不及物动词在句子中表达被动含义。如
Great changes have taken place these years in my hometown.
近几年我的家乡发生了很大的变化。
3)由介词for,on,above,under等构成的短语经常可以表达被动含义。如:
And some of her famous photos are on display in this exhibition.
她的一些著名的画在这次展览会上被展出。
这个句子里的on display就是主动形式,表示被动的含义。
4)形容词 worth后面跟动名词表示被动含义。如:
The book is worth reading. 这本书值得一读。
5)在need,want,require,deserve和bear等词的后面,动名词用主动形式表示被动含义,它的含义相当于动词不定式的被动形式。如
6)某些动词不定式用主动形式表被动含义。
有些形容词后跟不定式作状语,而句子的主语又是动词不定式的逻辑宾语时,这时常用不定式的主动形式表达被动含义。如nice,easy,fit,hard,difficult,important,impossible,pleasant,interesting等词。举个例子同学们来体会一下:
Sometimes,business English is hard to understand.有时,商业英语很难理解。
2、被动形式表示主动意义。
被动形式表示主动意义主要有下面两个考点需要同学们注意:
1)一些固定词组,它们的被动形式通常表示主动意义。
例如be concerned with/ about(关心),be dressed in(穿着). be hidden(躲藏起来),be located(位于),be lost in(陷入,迷路),be seated(就座)等。大家看下面例句:
That’s fine,as far as we’re concerned. 就我们而言,那样挺好。
After everyone was seated,the teacher began to read the result.
同学们就座后,老师开始读考试结果。
2)还有一些动词构成的被动形式也表示主动意义。
这类词组有: be used to(习惯于),be born(出生),be determined(决心,决定),be prepared(准备)等。如:
