The Passive Voice 被动语态
使用被动语态的句子,谓语动词的形式是“be +动词过去分词”。语义上主语为动作的承受者或对象,主要用于需要强调动作承受者、不必要指出动作执行者的情况,或出于语篇衔接连贯在“be +动词过去分词”结构中,助动词be有时态、人称和数的变化,变化规则与系动词be相同。
如:
The last time I went back to my hometown, a big power station was being built there. 上次我回家乡时,那里正在修建一个大厂。
She was being looked after by a robot that looked so human, and it was disturbing.
她被一个看起来很像人的机器人照顾着,这让她不安。
