文法不卡卡!英文「被動語態」一個公式就搞定!
什麼是「被動語態」呢?
你是否經常混淆如何將主動句轉被動句?
甚至覺得為何要這麼搞剛,何不通通都用主動句直述呢?
想了解「被動語態」使用的時機點,和如何轉換主、被動句型就看下去吧!
主動句轉換被動句的規則
❶ 將主動語態的受詞變為被動語態的主詞。
❷ 將主動語態的動詞改為 beV + p.p. 的結構。
❸ 將主動語態的主詞前加上 by,並改成受格。
Example :
主動語態:The doctors can no longer control a disease.
被動語態:A disease can no longer be controlled (by the doctors).
!被動語態句型中的 beV 也可以換成 get:
用 get 的句子較著重於動作本身;用 beV 的句子則偏向陳述事實。比較以下兩個句子:
Annie's wallet got stolen last week.
→強調錢包是被偷走的。
Annie's wallet was stolen last week.
→陳述錢包已經被偷了、不見了的事實。
被動語態的使用時機點
📌 用於表示「某人/物被…」,用來強調「承受動作的人/物」,而不是「執行動作的人/物」
Thomas's restaurant was visited by a famous chef last night.
昨天晚上有一位名廚拜訪湯瑪士的餐廳。
📌 動作者不明,強調動作,此時「by O」可省略:
This old building was used to house soldiers during World War II.
這棟舊建築在二次大戰時期用來安置士兵。
📌 動作者名稱過長時:
The awards show should be hosted by someone known for great achievements in acting.
頒獎典禮應該由在演藝方面擁有偉大成就的人來主持。
