The Passive Voice

英语的语态是通过动词形式的变化表现出来的。 英语中有两种语态：主动语态和被动语态。 主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者。 例如： Many people speak Chinese. 谓语： speak 的动作是由主语 many people 来执行的。 被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者，即行为动作的对象。 例如： Chinese is spoken by many people. 主语 Chinese 是动词 speak 的承受者。

1. 莎士比亚的戏剧每年有数百万人看。 Shakespeare’s plays are seen by millions of people every year. 2. 中国人尊重父母。 Parents are respected by Chinese people. 3. 河的两岸种了很多树。 Many trees are planted along the two banks of the river.

一般现在时被动语态： Subject( 主语） +am/is /are +P.P.

1. 规则动词的过去分词： 1) 一般情况在动词原形后加 -ed watch---watched 2) 以不发音 e 结尾的加 -d practice--practiced 3) 以辅音加 y 结尾的，去 y 变 i 加 -ed study---studied 4) 以重读闭音节结尾，末尾只有一个辅音字母， 先双写该辅音字母，再加 -ed stop---stopped

2. 不规则动词的过去分词： am is are--were been have has had--had do did--donewritewrote--written go went--gone was

He plants trees in spring. 主 谓 宾 ( 受动者 ) Trees are plantedby him 改为被动语态 in spring.

主动语态变被动语态口诀： 宾语提前主语变， 原主变宾 by 后见， 时态人称 be 关键。

1.They make shoes in that factory. Shoes are made (by them) in that factory.

何时使用被动语态呢？ 一、行为主体不明确，不必说出或者无法说 出动作的执行者时。例如： 全世界都在踢足球。 Football is played all over the world ． 二、不易找到或根本就不可能找到动作的执 行者时。例如： 我的自行车被盗了。 My bike was stolen ．

三、汉语中含有 “ 据说 ” 、 “ 据悉 ” 、 “ 有人说 ” 、 “ 大家说 ” 等时。例如： It is said that one day he climbed to the top of a house and …… It was reported that her mother died of SARS. 众所周知 … … It is well known that … 据推测说 … … It is supposed that …

四、要表达 “ 被 …..” 、 “ 由 …” “ 受 ….” “ 遭 ….” “ 让 …” 之类的词义。 例如：教师很受尊敬。 Teachers are well respected. 这孩子很招人喜欢。 The child is well loved by people.
