Sentences
(1)as作为从属连词,可以引导下列从句
a.时间状语从句,意为“正当……的时候”、“一面……一面……”、“随着……”,从句可放主句之前或主句之后。
b.引导方式状语从句,意为“如同”、“按照……的方式、样子、办法”。as从句总跟在主句之后。
c.as引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然”,多在主句之前,且多用倒装。
d.as引导比较状语从句,意为“和……一样/不一样”。表示同级的比较。使用时要注意第一个as为副词(意为“那么”“如此”),第二个as为连词(引导的比较状语从句常常用省略)。其基本结构为:as+adj./adv.+as
Grammar
1. 构成:被动语态由“助动词be+及物动词的过去分词”构成。助动词有人称、数和时
态的变化,其变化规则与be作为连系动词时的变化规则一样。
Tense Passive Form
Present simple am / is / are + past participle
Present continuous am / is / are being + past participle
Present perfect have / has been + past participle
Past simple was / were + past participle
Past continuous was / were being + past participle
2. 用法:在下列情况下使用被动语态:
(1)不知道也不需要知道谁做的这件事:
It is believed that when Fu is put upside down ...
(2)“动作执行者”显而易见:
The house was cleaned from top to bottom.
(3)动作本身比“动作执行者”更重要,或不想说出谁做的这件事:
The spirit of the festival — the spirit of family — has largely been kept.
(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:
Every country was allowed to design their own Euro coins which could be used in any of the participating countries.
The International Space Station has been built in the Earth’s orbit.
3. 注意的问题:
(1)不及物动词(短语)不能用于被动语态,这类动词(短语)常见的有happen, last, rise,
occur, break out, take place, come true等。感官动词或表示情况变化的动词也不能用于
被动语态,这类动词常见的有look, seem, appear, feel, taste, smell, sound, remain, stay,
continue, become, grow, get, come, go等。
The war broke out in 1941. 战争于1941年爆发。
(2)在主动语态中,动词see, hear, make, watch, notice等后面作宾语补足语的不定式不
带to,但变为被动语态时,to必须补上。
They made him go there alone. → He was made to go there alone.
(3)带介词或副词的动词短语(如look after, put on, pay attention to等)变为被动语态时,
它们原来所带的介词或副词须保留。
She often looks after the old. → The old are often looked after by her.
(4)接双宾语的动词变为被动语态
主动语态:动词+间接宾语(通常指人)+直接宾语(通常指事物)
被动语态:间接宾语变为被动句主语,直接宾语保留;直接宾语变为被动句主语,间接宾
语前面加介词to或for
He gave her some beautiful flowers.
→ She was given some beautiful flowers. (间接宾语变主语)
→ Some beautiful flowers were given to her. (直接宾语变主语)
(5)某些动词通常不使用被动语态,在形式上是主动语态,但含有被动的意思。适用于这
种情况的动词主要有sell,wash,write,drive,eat,shut等。这时主语一般是指物的
名词,这些动词往往指事物的特征,且常用well,badly,easily等副词来修饰。
Books of this kind sell well. 这种书很畅销。
This sweater washes well. 这件毛衣很耐洗。
