被动语态讲解一、被动语态的构成形式1. 被动语态的基本时态变化被动语态通常为十种时态的被动形式,被动语态由be+过去分词构成,be随时态的变化而变化。
以do为例,各种时态的被动语态形式为:1) am/is/are +done (过去分词) 一般现在时例Visitors are requested not to touch the exhibits.2) has /have bee n done现在完成时例All the preparations for the task have been completed, and we're ready to start.3) am/is /are being done 现在进行时例 A new cinema is being built here.4) was/were done 一般过去时例I was given ten minutes to decide whether I should reject the offer.5) had bee n done过去完成时例By the end of last year, another new gymnasium had been completed in Beijing.6) was/were being done 过去进行时例 A meeting was being held when I was there.7) shall/will be done 一般将来时例Hundreds of jobs will be lost if the factory closes.8) should/would be done 过去将来时例The news would be sent to the soldier's mother as soon as it arrived.9) shall/will have been done 将来完成时(少用)例The project will have been completed before July.2. 被动语态的特殊结构形式1) 带情态动词的被动结构。
其形式为:情态动词+ be+过去分词。
例The baby should be taken good care of by the baby-sitter.2) 有些动词可以有两个宾语,在用于被动结构时,可以把主动结构中的一个宾语变为主语,另一宾语仍然保留在谓语后面。
通常变为主语的是间接宾语。
例His mother gave him a present for his birthday. 可改为He was given apresent by his mother for his birthday.3) 当“动词+宾语+宾语补足语”结构变为被动语态时,将宾语变为被动结构中的主语,其余不动。
例Someone caught the boy smoking a cigarette. 可改为The boy was caught smoking a cigarette.4) 在使役动词have, make, get以及感官动词see, watch, notice, hear, feel, observe等后面不定式作宾语补语时,在主动结构中不定式to要省略,但变为被动结构时,要加to。
例Someone saw a stranger walk into the building. 可改为 A stranger was seen to walk into the building.3. 非谓语动词的被动语态v.+ing 形式及不定式to do 也有被动语态(一般时态和完成时态) 。
例I don't like being laughed at in the public.It is said that+ 从句及其他类似句型例 It is said that the boy has passed the national exam.(=The boy is said to have passed the national exam.)三、谓语动词的主动形式表示被动意义1. 英语中有很多动词如 break , drive , lock , open , sell , read , write ,wash 等,当它们被用作不及物动词来描述主语特征时, 常用其主动形式 表达被动意义,主语通常是物。
例 This kind of cloth washes well. 注意:主动语态表被动强调的是主语的特征,而被动语态则强调外界作用 造成的影响。
试比较:The door won't lock .(指门本身有毛病)The door won't be locked.(指不会有人来锁门,指 门没有锁”是人的原因)2. 表示“发生、进行”的不及物动词和短语,如: h a p p e n , take place, comeout, come true, 等以主动形式表示被动意义。
例How do the newspapers come out?这些报纸是如何印出来的呢?3. 系动词没有被动形式 , 但有些表示感受、感官的连系动词 feel, sound, taste,look, feel 等在主系表结构中常以主动形式表示被动意义。
例 Your reason sounds reasonable四、非谓语动词的主动形式表被动意义 在某些句型中可用动名词和不定式的主动形式表被动意义 。
1. 在need, want, require,等词的后面,动名词用主动形式表示被动意义, 其含义相当于动词不定式的被动形式。
例 The house needs repairin (to be repaired .这房子需要修理。
2. 形容词 worth 后面跟动名词的主动形式表示被动含义,但不能跟动词不 定式;而 worthy 后面跟动词不定式的被动形式。
例 The picture-book is well worth reading .(=The picture-book is very worthy to be read )3. 动词不定式在名词后面作定语,不定式和名词之间有动宾关系时,又和 句中另一名词或代词构成主谓关系 , 不定式的主动形式表示被动含义。
例 I have a lotof things to do this afternoon .(to do 与things 是动宾关系,与I 是主谓关系。
)试比较:I ' ll go to the post office. Do yobave a letter to be posted?(此处用不定式的被动语态作定语表明you 不是post 动作的执行者。
