学位英语语法基础知识:被动语态
(I)被动语态的构成
被动语态的形式是由“助动词be+动词的过去分词”构成。助动词be随着主语的人称,数,时态和语气的不同而变化。各种时态的被动语态形式如下:
1.一般现在时 am/is/are+V(p.p) 人们利用电能运转机器。
People use electricity to run machines. Electricity is used to run machines. Is electricity used to run machines? Yes, it is . / No, it isn't. 2.一般过去时 was/were + V(p.p)
昨天我们在山坡上种了许多树。Many trees were planted on the hill yesterday. 3.一般将来时 will/shall +be+V(p.p)
下星期我们将举行一场运动会。A sports meeting will be held next week. 4.过去将来时 should/would +be+V(p.p) 他告诉我们人们将在他家乡建一个大水坝。
We were told that a big reservoir would be built in his hometown. 5.现在进行时 am/is/are +being+V(p.p) .
他正在油漆房子。He is painting the house. A house is being painted. Is the house being painted? Yes, it is. / No, it isn't .

6.过去进行时 was/were +being+V(p.p)
当我进厨房时,她正在做蛋糕。A cake was being made when I came into the kitchen. 7.现在完成时 have/has +been+V(p.p)
他已经结束工作了。He has finished his work. His work has been finished. 8.过去完成时 had +been+V(p.p)
到上个月为止,他们已经把这本书翻译成了英语。
The book had been translated into English by the end of last month. 9.将来完成时will have +been+V(p.p) .
2,000 words will have been learned by the end of next year. 注:
1.含有情态动词的谓语变成被动语态时,用“情态动词+be+V(p.p)”构成。如: The machine must be operated with care.
2.含有\等结构的谓语,变成被动语态时,分别用\和\+be+V(p.p)\。如:
The problem is going to be discussed at the meeting. (II)由动词短语形成的被动语态
一般情况下,只有及物动词才能跟宾语,而不及物动词不能跟宾语,所以只有及物动词才有被动语态,不及物动词则没有被动语态。但有些不及物动词后面跟上介词或副词后,变成一个动词短语,相当于一个及物动词,就可以形成被动语态。
约翰打开了收音机。John turned on the radio. The radio was turned on.
奶奶照看我姐姐。Grandma takes care of my sister. My sister is taken care of by Grandma. 注:千万不要遗漏介词或副词。 难点释疑: 主动形式表被动意义
在下列情况中,谓语形式是主动的,但具有被动的含义。 The food tastes delicious. 这种食物尝起来很可口。 The idea sounds good. 这个主意听起来不错。 The apples sell well. 这些苹果很好卖。 The clothes wash well. 这些衣服很好洗。 一些固定句型表示被动含义 a. be worth doing sth
