一、语态的含义
语态是动词的一种形式,用于表述主语和谓语之间的关系。
1、主动语态表示主语动作的执行者
① I am eating an apple.
② I eat an apple.
2、被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。
① An apple is being eaten by me.
② An apple is eaten by me.
二、语态的构成
以 “ take ” 为例
重要补充:
1、被动语态构成除了“ be+done” 外,还可用 “get+done" 的结构(后面一般不接by)
① Hundreds of people get killed every year by traffic on the roads.
② The boy got hurt on his way to school.
2、被动语态可含有情态动词,结构为 “情态动词+be+done”
① This must be done as soon as possible.
② What has done cannot be undone.覆水难收
③ These stairs should be repaired.
④ Be careful , or you might be knocked down.
三、被动语态的常见用法
1、强调或侧重动作的承受者时使用。
① A good time was had by all. = We all had a good time.
② The film was directed by her. = She directed the film.
③ Helen was sent to the school by her parents when she was nine. = Helen's parents sent her to the school when she was nine
2、当不知道动作的执行者,或不必要提出动作的执行者(如我们,人们等)时使用。
① Printing was introduced into Europe from China.
印刷术被引入欧洲从中国。/印刷术被从中国引入欧洲。
印刷术是由中国传入欧洲的。√
② Everything has been taken away.
一切都被拿走了。√
③ You'll be contacted.
你将会被联系。
我们会和你联系的。(We will contact you.)√
3、某种形式主语的固定句型
本质:宾语是 that 引导的宾语从句,变为被动结构后,用 it 做形式主语。
① They know that he is an expert.
=It is know that he is an expert. 众所周知...
② People said that Mary used to be a good singer.
=It is said that Mary used to be a good singer. 据说
