现在进行时的被动语态

④About 35,000 works are currently being displayed in over 300 rooms...
通过观察前面四个句子中的加粗部分,不难发现这些动作用的都是现在进行时,且与主语之间都为动宾关系,因此加粗部分使用的是现在进行时的被动语态。你了解现在进行时的被动语态的句式和用法吗?
一、现在进行时的被动语态的含义
表示现在或现阶段正在进行的被动动作,强调主语是动作的承受者。
My car is being repaired(repair).Would you please give me a lift?
我的车正在修理中。请问你能让我搭个便车吗?
二、现在进行时的被动语态的结构
1.肯定句:“主语+am/is/are+being done...”。
Some trees are being cut down in the park.
公园里的一些树木正在被砍倒。
2.否定句:“主语+am/is/are+not being done...”。
It is reported that the water in the lake is not being protected now.
据报道,这个湖里的水现在没有得到保护。
3.一般疑问句:“Am/Is/Are(+not)+主语+being done...?”。
Are the babies being taken care of by this nurse?
这些婴儿正由这个护士照看吗?
4.特殊疑问句:“特殊疑问词+am/is/are(+not)(+主语)+being done...?”。
Who is being trained for the coming English speech contest?
谁正在为即将到来的英语演讲比赛进行训练?
语境运用
They are building a new hospital in his home town.
①A new hospital by them in his home town.(改为现在进行时的被动语态)
②A new hospital by them in his home town.(把句①改为否定句)
③ a new hospital by them in his home town?(把句①改为一般疑问句)
is being built
isn’t being built
Is
being built
三、现在进行时的被动语态的用法
1.表示此时此刻正在进行的被动动作。句中常用now、at the moment等时间状语。
A new film is being shown in the theatre now.Let’s go to see it.
电影院正在放映一部新电影,我们去看吧。
2.表示现阶段正在进行的被动动作。但此时此刻该动作不一定正在发生。
The rainforest is being protected by the government.
这片雨林正在受到政府的保护。
3.表示一种经常性或习惯性的被动行为。常和always、constantly、frequently、often等表示频率的副词连用,这种用法常常带有说话者赞扬或厌恶的感情色彩。
Bob is always being praised by the teacher.
鲍勃总是被这位老师表扬。
I feel very puzzled that the goods in our shop are always being damaged.
我感到很困惑,我们商店里的商品总是遭到损坏。
4.表示按计划或安排,主语将要承受谓语动词所表示的动作。
A folk song is being sung next.
下面将演唱一首民歌。
5.与部分情态动词连用表示对正在发生的被动动作的推测。
Tom may be being interviewed by the reporters at the very moment.
汤姆此刻可能正在接受记者的采访。
语境运用
①The little boy has made rapid progress recently and is always
(praise) by his parents.
②The plan to explore the South Pole is (make) these days.
③The question about where the factory is going to be built is
(discuss) at the moment.
being praised
being made
being discussed
四、现在进行时的被动语态的注意要点
1.不可遗漏being。
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,则会成为一般现在时的被动语态或系表结构。试比较:
The report is being written by an excellent reporter.
报告正在由一名优秀的记者写着。
The report is well written.
这份报告写得很好。(系表结构)
2.不可遗漏介词。
take care of、look after、talk about、think of等短语动词用于现在进行时的被动语态时,其中的介词不可省略。
Look!The children are being taken care of by their aunt.
瞧!那些孩子正由他们的姨妈照看着。
3.没有被动语态的动词。
不及物动词、非延续性动词和表示存在意义、所属关系、静态特征的动词以及系动词不用于被动语态。
The book belongs to him.
这本书是他的。
The group consists of six students.
这个组由6个学生组成。
4.“be (am/is/are)+under/in/on+n.”结构。
该结构有时相当于现在进行时的被动语态。
The bridge is in use.
=The bridge is being used.
这座桥正在使用中。
5.现在进行时的被动语态也可以表示将来。
现在进行时的被动语态有时可表示按计划或安排将要进行的一个被动动作(此种用法仅限于少数及物动词,如hold、take)。
A party is being held tonight.
今晚将要举办一场晚会。
6.现在进行时的被动语态与现在分词的被动式being done均可表示正在进行的被动动作,因此它们之间可以相互转换。
The meeting which is being held now is very important.
=The meeting being held now is very important.
现在正在举行的这场会议十分重要。

③Would you please keep silent?The weather report _____________
