Module 7 被动语态
如果想要表达“孩子们喜爱这本书”和“我们每天使用电脑”,我们会说:
Children love this book.
We use computers every day.
如果想要说“这本书为孩子们所喜爱”和“电脑天天都要用到”,则可以这样表达:
This book is loved by children.
Computers are used (by us) every day.
这两组句子表达的重点有所不同。第一组句子侧重动作的发出者,强调某人做了什么,而第二组句子侧重动作的承受者,强调某事/事物如何。因此,当我们要求某个行为的执行者时,应使用主动语态(第一组句子)来表达,而要强调动作的承受者时,就要使用被动语态(第二组句子)来表达。
一般现在时被动语态的各类句式总结如下:
1. 肯定句:主语 + am / is / are + 动词过去分词 (+ by + 动作执行者)
2. 否定句:主语 + am / is / are + not + 动词过去分词 (+ by + 动作执行者)
3. 一般疑问句:Am / Is / Are + 主语 + 动词过去分词 (+ by + 动作执行者)
4. 特殊疑问句:特殊疑问词 + am / is / are + 主语 + 动词过去分词 (+ by + 动作执行者)
请看以下例句:
This song is still loved by many young people today. 这首歌现在仍然受到许多年轻人的喜爱。(肯定句)
This camera is not made in Japan. 这部相机不是日本制造的。(否定句)
— Is the film called Snow White 这部电影是叫《白雪公主》吗?(一般疑问句)
— Yes, it is. / No, it isn’t. 是的。/ 不是。
— How many people are mentioned in the conversation 对话中提到了几个人?(特殊疑问句)
— Two. 两个。
补充内容:
被动语态常用于以下情况:
- 当动作的执行者不明确或不重要时,例如:English is spoken all over the world.
- 当强调动作的承受者时,例如:The new library will be opened next month.
- 在科技文章、新闻报道等正式文体中,被动语态使用频繁。
注意:并非所有动词都有被动形式,只有及物动词(可以带宾语的动词)才能构成被动语态。
