使用被动语态应注意的问题
1.由“动词+名词+介词”构成的短语动词,如pay attention to, take care of, make use of等用于被动语态时,通常将整个短语动词当作一个及物动词,也可将其中的名词(短语)提前作主语构成被动语态。如:
We take good care of these little trees.
→These little trees are taken good care of.
→Good care is taken of these little trees.
2.使役动词have, make等和感官动词see, watch, notice, hear, feel, observe等后接不定式作宾语补足语时,主动结构中用不带to的不定式,被动结构则用带to的不定式。如:
My mother often makes me wash my clothes.
→I'm often made to wash my clothes by my mother.
I saw the teacher go into the classroom.
→The teacher was seen to go into the classroom by me.
3.当cut, wash, write, sell, wear, lock等动词表示主语的属性、特征时,不用被动语态。试比较:
4.某些表示“发生(happen, take place, occur)”、“爆发(break out, burst out)”和“传播(spread)”的动词没有被动语态。如:
Great changes have taken place in our country since 1980.
Fire broke out during the night.
The news spread like wildfire.
5.一些表示静态意义的及物动词(短语),如have, hold, cost, fit, belong to, date back to, look like等没有被动语态。如:
This big hall built last year can hold about 3,000 people.
The old temple dates ba
