Step 2. Presentation
二、现在进行时的被动语态的用法
1. 表示此刻正被进行的动作。

这个问题现在正在会上被讨论。

3. 表示一种经常性的被动行为, 常和always, constantly, frequently等表示频率的副词连用, 这种用法常常带有说话者的赞扬或厌恶的感情色彩。

衣服总是由我妈妈来洗。

第24届冬季奥林匹克运动会将于2022年在北京举行。
三、使用现在进行时的被动语态应注意的问题
1. 在现在进行时的被动语态中be为第一助动词, being为第二助动词, 缺一不可, 且位置不可互换。此结构若缺少being, 则就成为一般现在时的被动语态或系表结构。试比较:
The moving story is being read by a student in a soft voice.
这个感人的故事正在由一名学生轻声读着。
The moving story is read well by a student. 一名学生将这个感人的故事读得很好。(一般现在时被动语态)
2. take care of, look after, talk about, think of等动词短语用于现在进行时的被动语态时, 其中的介词不可省略。
The children are being taken good care of by their grandmother. 那些孩子正由他们的祖母好好照看着。
3. 非延续性动词、表示存在意义、所属关系、静态特征的动词以及系动词不用于现在进行时的被动语态。
It is known to us that Taiwan belongs to China.
众所周知, 台湾是中国的领土。
4. “be(am/is/are)+under/in+n. ”有时可相当于现在进行时的被动语态。
The bridge is under construction.
=The bridge is being construct
