英语中主动表被动的六种常见结构
英语动词,通常都是主动形式表主动意义、被动形式表被动意义。但在有些情况下,却用主动形式表被动意义。现将这些情况总结如下:、某些系动词+形容词
常见的这类系动词有:look ,feel ,smell, sound, taste, prove, turn out(结果是,证明是)等。例如:
This coat feels very soft and smooth。
What he said sounds reasonable。
The medicine tastes bitter。
All he said proved (to be) true.
The flowers smelling sweet (= which smell sweet) in the botanic garden attract the visitors to the beauty of nature.
We wanted to get home before dark, but it didn't quite turn out as planned.
、某些用作不及物意义的动词+副词
常见的这类动词有:wash, clean, cook, eat, drink, brew, fry, bake, iron, cut , dye , dry, sell, read, write, teach, translate, record, wear, draw, drive, ride, lock, unlock, close ,shut ,open, break, smoke, play, act, wind up, make up, blow, keep, burn, light , strike(划着), fire , pull, fill, begin, start, finish, complete, run(运转), stop, end, owe, print, move, let(出租), carry, handle, kill, , milk, pack, pick, split 等。
这时:(1)句子的主语通常指物.(2)用来表示主语的内在品质、特征、状态或性质。(3) 通常和副词 easily, well, quickly, smoothly, badly, poorly, nicely, wonderfully, perfectly, comfortably 等连用.例如:
1、He paid all that was owing.
2、The tea is brewing.
3、Because the shop is closing down, all the T-shirts are sold at half price.
4、-What are you going to do this afternoon?

5、Books of this kind sell well。 
6、This knife cuts easily。
7、This kind of cloth washes well, irons easily and wears long。
8、The paper tears easily.
9、This article translates well and reads easily.
10、The pen my father gave me as a birthday gift writes smoothly.

12、The cigar smokes badly。
13、he cakes eat deliciously。
14、———Mummy, can I put the peaches in the cupboard?

15、His voice doesn’t carry well。
16、This material does not dye well but dries quickly.
17、The damp match won’t strike.
注意:在这里动词都是当作不及物动词使用,用主动形式表被动强调的是主语本身所具有的某种内在的品质,促进、妨碍或阻止动词表示动作的实现;如果用被动语态则强调外界作用造成的影响,动词表示的动作的实现与否和主语的品质无关,主要取决于动作的执行者.试比较:
This novel doesn't sell well。 这本小说销售不畅.(是小说本身的原因)
These novels have not been sold。 这些小说没有销出去。(由于其它原因没有卖出去,与小说本身无关)
The door won’t lock.门锁不上.(门本身有毛病)
The door wasn't locked.门没锁.(人没把门锁上,与门本身无关)
The text teaches well。 这篇课文好教.(由于课文本身的内容才使得这课文好教"
The text is not taught well. 这篇课文没有教好.(与课文本身无关,问题是动作执行者没有把课文教好。

常见的这类动词有:happen, occur, take place, belong to ,break out, last, run out ,go out(熄灭), go down(下降,cost, spread,come(传来)come on(开始), come out(出版), come up(出现), come into being(产生), come to one’s mind(想起), come about(发生), come true, give out, suit, fit, add up(to),catch fire, measure, weigh
