主动形式表被动含义
1. feel, taste, sound, smell, look等感官动词和keep, remain, stay, seem, appear, prove等表示状态的系动词后接形容词/名词/介词短语或“to be + 形容词(名词)”作表语时,这些动词常常以主动形式表示被动含义,此时句子的主语是被感知或描述的对象。例如:
  Silk feels very soft. 丝绸摸上去很柔软
  What you said sounded a bit reasonable. 你说的听起来有点道理
  The little baby looks like a small cat. 这婴儿看上去像只小猫
  My room keeps clean all the time. 我的房间一直(被)保持得很干净
  Einstein’s theory later proved (to be) true. 爱因斯坦的理论后来(被)证明是正确的
  2. wash, write, wear, sell, read, dry, clean, run, open等动词作谓语时,常可用主动形式表示被动含义,注意:这类动词往往与easily, well, badly, smoothly等副词连用,表示主语的属性特征。例如:
  This kind of cloth washes easily. 这种布很好洗
  Food of this kind sells well. 这种食品很好卖
Nylon cleans easily 尼龙容易洗干净。
The coat dries easily 这种外衣容易干。
  3. take place, happen, hang, measure, weigh等描述状态的不及物动词和短语动词可以用主动形式表示被动含义。例如:

  His family photo hangs highly between the two windows.
他的全家福(照片)高高地(被)挂在两个窗户之间
  4. 与can’t/won’t/hardly/never等连用的不及物动词,如open, shut, move, lock等,常可用主动形式表示被动含义。例如:
  The door won’t open. 这门就是不能(被)打开
  The glass never moves! 这个杯子永远都不能动
  5. wear, blow, fly等一些不及物动词用于“主语 + 谓语 + (to be) + 形容词”结构中时,可用主动形式表示被动含义。例如:
  The trousers have worn old. 裤子已经穿旧了
  The window blew open. 窗户被吹开了
  6. need, require, want等表示“需要”意义的动词,后接动词的-ing的主动形式往往表示被动含义。例如:
  The paper can’t come out, because it needs improving.
这篇论文不能发表,因为它还需要修改
  The old building requires painting again. 这栋老房子需要再粉刷一遍
  注意:前面两句也可以改为
  The paper can’t come out, because it needs to be improved.
  The old building requires to be painted again.
  7. 用“be (well) worth/deserve + doing”结构也可以表示被动含义。例如:
  误: His idea is very worth considering. 他的想法值得考虑
  正: The film Hero is well worth seeing a second time. 电影《英雄》很值得再看一遍
The place deserves a visit/visiting/to be visited.
  8. 当动词不定式作定语且与前面被修饰的名词或代词有动宾关系,其逻辑主语是句子的主语或间接宾语时,用该不定式的主动形式常常可以表示被动含义。(不定式作定语,放在被修饰词后面,与前面被修饰的名词或代词有动宾关系,又在句子中与另一名词或代词有主谓关系,不定式要用主动表被动含义。)例如:
  I have a lot of problems to settle at present. 目前我有许多问题需要解决
  Do you have anything else to say 你还有什么要说的
Tom is looking for a room to live in. Tom在一间住的房间。
(与room有动宾关系,与Tom 有主谓关系)

(与family有动宾关系,与he有主谓关系)
  Have you got any clothes to wash today 今天你有什么衣服要洗吗(指被问的人洗衣服)
比较Have you got any clothes to be washed today
你今天有什么衣服要洗吗(指问话的人洗衣服)
  注意:在“there be ...”句式中,如果动词不定式前没有明确的逻辑主语时,不定式用主动形式或被动形式均可,如果有逻辑主语,则用不定式的主动形式例如:
  有五封信等着回复
  There are five letters to answer/to be answered.
  (也可译为: There are five letters for me to answer.)
  9. difficult, easy, important, comfortable, convenient, dangerous, hard, cheap,expensive等形容词(表示难易、利弊等含义)作表语或宾语补足语时,动词不定式在其后作状语,并与句子的主语构成动宾关系时,应用动词不定式的主动形式表示被动含义。结构:主语+系动词+形容词 + 不定式; 动词+宾语+形容词+不定式。例如:
  I find that his books are always difficult to understand. 我发现他的书总是很难理解
  My brother is easy to deal with. 我兄弟很容易相处
