1、被 动 语 态一、被动语态概述 : 语态是动词的一种形式,用以说明主语与谓语动词之间的关系。英语的语态共有两种:主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者,被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。被动语态是动词的一种特殊形式,一般说来,只有需要动作对象的及物动词才有被动语态。汉语往往用"被"、"受"、"给"等词来表示被动意义。 如: He opened the door.他打开了这扇门。(主动语态) The door was opened.这扇门被打开了。(被动语态) 二、被动语态的用法: 1、不知道或没有必要指出谁是
2、动作的执行者时。 The bridge was built last year.这座桥是去年建造的。 He was elected chairman.他被选为主席。 2、 当更加强调动作的承受者时。此时动作的执行者由by引导置于谓语动词之后,不需要时可以省略。The room hasn't been cleaned yet.房间还没有打扫。 The tiger was killed by him.老虎被他杀死了。 3、当动作的执行者不是人时,多用被动语态。如: The window was blown by wind.
3、窗户被风吹开了。 The whole village has been washed away by the flood.整个村庄都被洪水冲走了。 4、表示客观的说明常用"It is + 过去分词."句型。 It is said that Lucy has gone abroad.据说露茜已经出国了。 It is believed that he is a spy. (=He is believed to be a spy.)大家相信他是个间谍。 5、其它常见的"It is + 过去分词+ that"句型还有: It i
4、s reported that…据报道 It is said that…据说 It is believed that…大家相信 It is suggested that…有人建议三、主动语态变为被动语态 1、主动语态变为被动语态的步骤: (1)将主动句的宾语变为主语: 如果主动句的宾语是代词,需将其由宾格变为主格。如: Tom killed him. → He was killed by Tom. (2)将动词改为"be+过去分词"。 They held a meeting yesterday. → A meetin
5、g was held by them yesterday.(他们昨天开会了) (3)将主动语态的主语改为be…放在谓语动词后。 注意:如果原主语是代词,则应由主格变为宾格。 He sang a song. → A song was sung by him. 2、主动语态变为被动语态的注意事项:(1)主动句中的主语如果是people, we, you, they, somebody等含糊地表示"人们"、"大家"的单词,变为主动句时,通常删去"by…",但原主语被强调者除外。如: They set up this hospi
6、tal in 1975. → This hospital was set up in 1975.(这所医院建于1975年)。(2)含有双宾语,即直接宾语和间接宾语的句子,每个宾语都可变为被动语态的主语,即其被动语态有两种形式。但多以间接宾语作主语。 Jack told us the truth.杰克告诉了我们真相。 We were told the truth by Jack. The truth was told (to) us by Jack.五、动词的主动形式表示被动之意 以主动形式表示被动之意的动词多为连系动词,如
7、:look, feel, smell等。下列动词没有被动式:happen,cost,take,have An accident was happened yesterday.(×)昨天发生了一起事故。 An accident happened yesterday.( ) The flower smells sweet.这花闻起来很香。 The watch looks good.这表看起来很好。 This book sells well.这本书畅销。六、各种时态的被动语态举例: 1.一般现在时(am/ is/ are +d
