动词语态
一、定义与用法
英语的语态分为主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者,而被动语态则表示主语是动作的承受者。被动语态由“助动词be + 过去分词”构成。如:
Everybody respects him. 大家都尊敬他。(主动语态)
He is respected by everybody. 他受到大家的尊敬。(被动语态)
二、基本吋态的被动语态
1. 一般现在时的被动语态:am (is, are) + 过去分词
2. 一般过去时的被动语态:was (were) + 过去分词
3. 一般将来时的被动语态:will be + 过去分词
4. 过去将来时的被动语态:would be + 过去分词
5. 现在进行时的被动语态:am (is, are) being + 过去分词
6. 过去进行时的被动语态:was (were) being + 过去分词
7. 现在完成时的被动语态:has (have) been + 过去分词
8. 过去完成时的被动语态:had been + 过去分词
三、含情态动词的被动语态
1. 其结构为“情态动词 + be + 过去分词”。如:
This can't be done in a short time. 这不是短期内可以完成的。
This needn't be mentioned in the letter. 这在信中不必提及。
2. 情态动词后的动词可以用完成式。如:
Can this have been done by a child? 这能是一个孩子做的事吗?
The door must have been locked by Jim. 门一定是被吉姆锁上的。
四、主动表被动的若干情形
1. 连系动词(如look, sound, smell, feel, taste, prove等)要用主动表被动,因为连系动词为不及物动词,它们没有被动语态形式。如:
The building looks very beautiful. 这栋楼看上去很漂亮。
Your idea proved to be wrong. 你的想法证实是错的。
2. 当open, close, shut, lock, move, read, wash, clean, cook, cut, wear, carry等用作不及物动词且表示主语的某种属性时,通常用主动形式表示被动意义。如:
The door won't shut. 这门关不上。
The book sells quickly. 这书销售得快。
3. 有的动词本身含有被动意味,通常用主动形式来表示被动含义。如:
Her coat caught on the nail. 她的大衣被钉子钩住了。
Her eyes filled with tears. 她眼里充满了泪水。
4. 不定式to blame, to let用作表语时,通常要用主动表被动。如:
Who is to blame? 该怪谁呢?
The house is to let. 此房出租。
5. 某些“be + 形容词 + todo”结构中的不定式通常要用主动形式表示被动意义。如:
The book is difficult to understand. 这书很难懂。
The music isn't pleasant to listen to. 这音乐不好听。
The picture is interesting to look at. 这幅画看起来挺有趣的。
注:这类结构的特点是句子主语就是其后不定式的逻辑宾语,按理说其中的不定式要用被动形式,但习惯上却要用主动表被动。这类形容词常见的有convenient,dangerous, difficult, easy, hard, impossible, interesting, nice, pleasant'safe, tough, tricky, unpleasant等。
6. 不定式用于某些动词(如have, have got, get, want, need等)的宾语后作定语时,如果不定式的逻辑主语就是句子的主语,通常用主动形式表示被动意义。如:
Do you have time to help us? 你有时间帮助我们吗?
I have some clothes to wash. 我有一些衣服要洗。
I want something to drink. 我想喝点什么。
注:若不定式的逻辑主语不是句子的主语,则应用被动式,比较:
I have something to type. 我有些东西要打(字)。(指自己打字)
I have something to be typed. 我有些东西要打(字)。(指请人打字)
7. 在 to do sth和……enough to do sth这两个结构中,若句子主语与其后不定式to do sth为被动关系,则该不定式通常用主动形式表示被动意义(有时也可直接用被动式)。如:
The writing is too faint to read. 这笔迹太模糊,看不清。
These boxes are not strong enough to use [be used] as platforms. 这些箱子不够牢,不能用作站台。
8. be worth后的动名词要用主动表被动。如:
This movie is worth seeing. 这部影片值得一看。
She's not worth getting angry with. 不着跟她生气。
注:与worth相似的worthy却不一样,其后不接动名词而接不定式(若接动名词则其前应有介
词of), 且要用被动式表示被动含义。如:
This book is worthy to be read [of being read]. 这本书值得一读。
9. 在need, want, require等少数表示“需要”的动词后的动名词用主动形式表被动意义。如:
The house needs cleaning. 房子需要打扫了。
These children require looking after. 这些孩子需要照看。
This wall requires repairing. 这面墙需要修整了。
注:该结构中的动名词若改用不定式则要用被动式表被动。如:
The house needs to be cleaned. 房子需要打扫了。
These children require to be looked after. 这些孩子需要照看。
