高考英語語法精品講練:第二章被動語態
高中英語語法精講第二章被動語態
語態也是動詞的一種形式,表示主語與謂語之間的關系。英語有兩種語態:主動語態(active voice) 和被動語態(passive voice)。主動語態表示主語是謂語動作的執行者,而被動語態則表示主語是謂語動作的承受者。
一、被動語態的構成
被動語態是由助動詞be加及物動詞的過去分詞構成,如果有必要強調動作的執行者,動作執行者可以由介詞by引出的短語表示。助動詞be隨主語的人稱、數、時態和語氣的不同而變化。

英語中,大多數情況下用主動語態比較簡練、有力。但是,被動語態也有其特殊的用途,它也是表達思想、描述事物的需要。人們通常在下列情況下使用被動語態:
A. 不知道或不必說出動作的執行者
How is this word pronounced 這個單詞怎么發音?
Scientists say that work is done whenever a force moves. 科學家們說,力移動時就做了功。

注意:
被動語態中的by短語通常可以省去。但如果by短語是句子的重點所在,或者沒有by短語全句的意思不完整時,則要保留by短語。

中國人的思維的著眼點在動作的施動者,英美人思維的著眼點在動作的承受者。
中國人常這樣說:I expect you to be there on time. 我希望你準時到那里。
英美人常這樣說:You are expected to be there on time. 希望你準時到那里。
這就是英語中被動語態的使用比漢語中多的原因。由于英語句子的主動語態結構不同,因而變成被動語態的方式也各不相同。
A. 主語 + 謂語 + 賓語
“主語 + 謂語 + 賓語”結構中只有一個賓語,變為被動語態時,將賓語變為主語:
They will discuss the plan at the meeting. 他們將在會議上討論這個問題。
-- The plan will be discussed at the meeting. 這個問題將在會議上討論。
In the past the king possessed great wealth. 過去國王擁有巨大的財富。
In the past great wealth was possessed by the king. 過去,巨大的財富為國王所擁有。
B. 主語+謂語+間接賓語+直接賓語
在這個句型中,謂語動詞跟有兩個賓語。變成被動語態時,一般將通常指人的間接賓語轉化成主語,但有時也可將指物的間接賓語轉化成主語:
We gave the student some books. 我們給了這個學生幾本書。
-- The student was given some books. 這個學生被給了幾本書。
-- Some books were given to the student. 幾本書被給了這個學生。
