被动语态在使用时都需要注意哪些问题?(英语被动语态的注意事项)

英语被动语态的注意事项

1.不及物动词无被动语态。

The dinosaurs disappeared about 65 million years ago.

2.有些动词用主动形式表示被动意义。这些动词主语以物居多,谓语动词一般表示主语的性质和特征。这类动词有许多,如: write, break, selld等。

This pen writes well.

This new book sells well.

3.感官动词或使役动词使用省略to的动词不定式,主动语态中不带to ,但变为被动语态时,须加上to 。 感官动词有smell,sound,taste,fell等。使役动词有let,make,have,help,hear,see,watch,notise,look,listen.

例:make somebody do something→somebody+ be +made to do something

see somebody do something→somebody +be +seen to do something

A girl saw my wallet drop when she passed by.→My wallet was seen to drop by a girl when she passed by.

The boss made the little boy do heavy work.→The little boy was made to do heavy work by the boss.

His mother gave him a present for his birthday.→ He was given a present by his mother for his birthday.

4.如果是接双宾语的动词改为被动语态时,直接宾语(物)作主语,那么动词后要用介词,这个介词是由与其搭配的动词决定。

He gave me a book.→A book was given to me by him.

He showed me a ticket.→A ticket was shown to me by him.

My father bought me a new bike. →A new bike was bought for me by my father.

5.一些动词短语用于被动语态时,动词短语应当看作一个整体,而不能丢掉其中的介词或副词。

We can't laugh at him. →He can’t be laughed at by us.

He listens to the radio every day. →The radio is listened to by him every day.

The nurse is taking care of the sick man. →The sick man is being taken care of by the nurse.

6.一些表示状态的动词没有被动语态。如:have, belong to等。

1.动词短语变成被动语态时要注意什么? 2.哪些动词不能用于被动语态? 3.哪些单词和词组不能用于被动语态

a. 系动词不用被动

b. have(无论当“有”讲,还是当其他动词讲,都不用被动)

c. 表示状态的equal, fit, hold(容纳)join(参加),mean(意味着),last(持续),cost(花费),wish(希望),belong to(属于)等。

d. 当及物动词leave, enter, reach等的宾语,表示地点、处所或组织的名词时,不用被动语态。

e. 当动词和宾语已组成一个不可分割的成语时,不用被动语态,如keep one’s word, make up one’s mind, speak one’s mind, do one’s best, lose heart, keep watch, make a face等

f. 动词let一般不用被动式,看需用,可改为allow等意思相同的动词。

如何正确地应用被动语态呢?

需要根据句子的时态和人称来决定。

are和were用于复数人称,was和is用于第三人称单数。

时态对应如下:

一般现在时

①am;is;are②do/does(V.;V.s)

am;is;are+done(V. p.p)

一般将来时

will;be going to;be (about)to+do(V.)

will+be+done(V. p.p)

一般过去时

①was;were②did(V.-ed)

was;were+done(V. p.p)

现在进行时

am;is;are+doing(V.-ing)

am;is;are+being+done(V. p.p)

过去进行时

was;were+doing(V.-ing)

was;were+being+done(V.p.p)

现在完成时

have;has+done(V. p.p.)

have;has+been+done(V. p.p)

过去完成时

had+done(V. p.p.)

had+been+done(V. p.p.)

情态动词

情态动词+V.

情态动词+be+done(V. p.p.)

过去将来时 would/should +V. would/should be + done(V. p.p.)

请问被动语态在什么情况下要用?

语态是动词的一种形式,用来说明主语和谓语之间的关系。英语有两种语态,即主动语态和被动语态。主动语态就是比较正常的语态,主语是动作的执行者、发出者。而被动语态当然是在要表示被动的情况下使用的,主语是动作的承受着。

被动语态一般都翻译为: sb./sth.被sb./sth.……

例:1.主动语态:we call him Bruce.我们叫他布鲁斯。

被动语态:He is called Bruce by us.他被我们称为布鲁斯。

2.主动:My sister made this model ship.我姐姐做了这条模型船。

被动:This model ship was made by my sister.这条模型船是被我姐姐做出来的。

被动语态主要在以下三种情况下使用:

1)当不知道动作的执行者时

例:Tea was introduced into Europe from China.茶是由中国传到欧洲的。

2)当没有必要指出动作的执行者是谁时

例:Chinese is spoken in China.(我想这句就不用翻译了吧……)

3)当需要强调动作的承受者时

例:This model ship was made by my sister.这条模型船是被我姐姐做出来的。

例句:

被动:Computer was invented in 1976.计算机是在1976年发明出来的。

被动:Knives are used for cutting things.倒是被用来切东西的。

被动:Caculator was invented by him.计算机是被他发明的出来的。

被动:These books aren't allowed to be taken out of libarary.这些书是不准备带出图书馆的。

被动:The boy was seen to swim in the river yesterday.这个男孩昨天被看到在河里游泳。

总之,你在翻译被动句时,若怕不保险,就统一在句子里加一个“被”字就行了,就像上面我给你翻译的一样,你就当他是一般句子来翻译,只要在主语的后面加一个“被”字就行,不管句子翻译的是否流畅,但肯定不会出错
