四. 如何正确使用被动语态
1. 有些动词带有两个宾语，即直接宾语和间接宾语，变被动语态时，可把其中一个宾语变成主
语，另一个留在被动结构谓语后面。需要注意的是：若把直接宾语变成被动语态的主语，需要
在间接宾语之间加上介词“to”。
eg. He often tells us interesting stories . （主动语态）
We are often told interesting stories by him.（被动语态）
Interesting stories are often told to us by him.（被动语态）
▲常带双宾语的词有：tell , show , lend , pass等。
在主动语态中，某些动词之后带有复合宾语，即宾语和宾语补足语，这个复合宾语由动词不
定式来充当，to被省略，但在被动语态中，这个to还要还原。
eg. I often hear her sing this popular song . （主动语态）
She is often heard to sing this popular song .（被动语态）
▲ 有这种用法的常用动词有：make , let , see , hear , watch , feel , notice等。
有些“be +过去分词”的结构并不是被动语态，它们可能是“系表结构（即系动词之后由过去分
词来充当表语）。”
比较：1. The door is closed. 门是关着的。（系表结构）
The door is closed by Feng Ping. 这个门是由冯平关的。（被动语态）
2. The glass is broken. 这个玻璃杯是坏的。（系表结构）
The glass is broken by Mary. 这个玻璃杯是玛丽弄坏的。（被动语态）
??
4. 只有及物动词和可有宾语的动词+介词词组才可以有被动语态。
e.g: 1）Great changes have taken place in China.（正确）
Great changes have been taken place in China.（错误）
2）The dolphin disappeared in the deep sea.（正确）
The dolphin was disappeared in the deep sea.（错误）

五、不能用被动语态的情况
不及物动词不能用于被动语态，如：appear，rise，die，happen，break out，take place等
表状态动词不能用于被动语态，如：hold，have，cost，contain，become，look like等
某些动词的进行时可表示被动，如：The meat is cooking. 肉正在煮着。
主动形式表示被动意义。
某些感官动词和系动词接形容词可以表示被动意义，如：look，smell，taste，feel，prove，wear，
sound等。 eg：Her bedroom looks very clean and tidy.
动名词的主动形式表被动语态，如：want，deserve，need，require，take，worth等。
The book is worth reading. 这本书值得读。
The children need looking after. 孩子们需要照顾。
某些做表语的形容词后，用不定式主动形式表被动意义。
The conversation is hard to understand. 这个对话很难理解。
The fish is not easy to fish. 鱼不容易上钩。
The passage is difficult to read. 这段文章很难读懂。

American country music is also known as (被视为) country western music. It has a very long history. It comes from the folk songs of immigrants(移民) from Britain.
Country music uses simple music and words to express everyday feelings such as loneliness, love, and sadness. That is to say, country music describes life. It talks about friends and enemies, trucks and roads, farm and crops. People in many parts of the world like country music, because everyone can understand what the music is about.
Country western music became popular first among cowboys(牛仔) in the American west countryside. Cowboys had to take care of cows day and night. When they were alone with the cows, they often sang beautiful and peaceful songs to calm the animals and to overcome their own fear. They were not well-educated and so they sang about their daily life in very simple words. They played guitars, violins and other instruments. In the south of America, many people added instruments from their homes, like bottles and spoons. When cowboys visited their friends and families on holidays like Thanksgiving, they usually sang and played country western music.
In recent years, many musicians have made country western music a little different from the one in the past. These changes make the songs sound even better. Today singers such as Carth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Eddie Rabbitt, LeAnn Rimes, Randy Travis and a group called Alabama are singing and playing in different styles.
