一、被动语态的概述
语态是动词的一种形式,它表示句子的主语和谓语动词之间的关系。英语的语态有两种:主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者,被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。
二、被动语态的构成
被动语态由“助动词be+及物动词的过去分词”构成。助动词be本身无词义,但有人称、数和时态的变化。
三、在下列情况下使用被动语态
1.不知道或者没有必要指出谁是动作的执行者。
►The bridge was built ten years ago.
这座桥是十年前建造的。
2.强调动作的承受者。
►Your plan is considered to be practical.
你的计划被认为是实用的。
3.动作的执行者是无生命的事物。
►The window was blown open by wind.
窗户被风吹开了。
4.在书面语中,特别是在科技报告和新闻报道中,被动语态比主动语态更正式。
►The International Space Station has been built in the Earth's orbit.
国际空间站已经在地球轨道上建成了。
5.习惯用法的需要。这类词常见的有born, determine, devote, seat, dress, situate等。
►She was born into a musical family.
她生于音乐之家。

五、以主动形式表示被动意义的情况
1.系动词look, sound, feel, smell, taste, seem, go, prove, turn, stay, become, fall, get, grow, keep等后接形容词或名词构成系表结构。
►The soup smells terrible.
这汤闻起来很糟糕。
2.表示主语的内在特征、性质或状态的动词,如drive, lock, sell, read, wash, dry等,常用主动形式表示被动意义。
►This kind of cloth washes well.
这种布料很好洗。
3.不定式作定语,与前面被修饰的名词或代词构成动宾关系,且不定式的逻辑主语为主句的主语时,不定式用主动形式表示被动含义。
►Attention, please.I have something to say.
请注意,我有事情要说。
4.不定式修饰作表语和宾语补足语的形容词时,如difficult, easy, comfortable, hard, convenient, cheap, expensive等,不定式用主动形式表示被动含义。
►The long sentence is hard to understand.
这个长句子很难理解。
5.动名词的主动形式表示被动意义,相当于不定式的被动式。这类动词有:need, want, require, deserve等。
►The floor needs cleaning.=The floor needs to be cleaned.地板需要打扫了。
6.表示开始、结束、运动的动词,如begin, finish, start, open, close, stop, end, run, move等。
►The shop closes at 7 p.m.every day.
这家商店每天下午七点关门。
六、被动语态与系表结构的区别
当“be+过去分词”作被动语态时表示主语承受的动作;作系表结构时表示主语的特点或所处的状态, be后面的过去分词是表语,相当于形容词。其区分办法如下:
1.如果强调动作或句中有介词by引导出动作的执行者,该句一般为被动语态,否则为系表结构。
►The glass is broken.(系表结构)
►The glass was broken by the boy.(被动语态)
2.如果句中有地点、 频率或时间状语时,一般为被动语态。
►The door is locked.(系表结构)
►The door has already/just been locked.(被动语态)
3.被动语态除用于一般时态和完成时态外,还可以用于其他各种时态,而系表结构中的系动词be只有一般时态和完成时态。
