10、.147.3 不可转换为被动句的主动句 .16结 论 17参考文献 18致 谢 1911 语态语态(Voice):是一种动词形式,用来表示主语与动词所表示的动作之间的关系。英语动词有两种语态:被动语态(Passive Voice)和主动语态(Active Voice) 。这里我们只研究被动语态在各个方面的应用。被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者,又称受动者,谓语动词为被动语态的句子叫被动句。一般来说,主动句侧重于行为者,被动句侧重于动作的对象或动作的本身。例如:主动句:Peter cleaned the meeting room every day.彼得每天打扫会议室。被动句:The meetin
11、g room was cleaned every day.会议室每天都(由彼得)打扫。其中在被动结构的句子中,动作的执行者可以由介词 by 引起的短语表示。The composition was written by Tom.以下将会介绍被动语态是怎么构成的以及应用的场合。2 被动语态的构成被动语态由“助动词 be+及物动词的过去分词”构成。助动词 be 有时与体的变化,被动语态的时与体就是借助动词 be 来体现的,助动词 be 还要在人称和数上的主语保持一致。现以 tell 为例,列表如下:2一般式 进行时 完成式现在时am told is toldare toldam being told
12、is being toldare being toldHas been told Have been told过去时Was toldWere told Was being told Were being told Had been told将来时Shall be toldWill be toldBe going to be toldShall have been toldWill have been told过去将来时Should be toldWould be toldWas/were going to be toldShould have been toldWould have been
13、told 被动语态的现在完成进行体和过去完成进行体是两种罕见的形式,如:He has been being interviewed for the past hour.一个小时以来他一直在接受采访。如果将谓语动词为完成进行时态和将来进行时态的句子变为被动句时,可用完成时态和一般时态来表示。(a)用一般时态替代将来进行时态:The subject will be discussed by us tomorrow morning.(不能用.will be being discussed) 明天早上这个题目由我们讨论。(b)用现在完成时替代现在完成进行时态:The machine has been
14、repaired for two hours.(不能用has been being repaired ) 这台机器已经修了两个钟头了。32.1 被动语态的各种句式1)肯定句式:主语+be+过去分词+其他Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.世上做的每件事都是希望的功劳。Talents are best nurtured in solitude ,but character is best formed in the stormy billons of the world.才华最好在孤独中培养,性格最好在尘世的惊涛骇浪中塑造。2
