●被动语态的形式
A 把主动态动词变成被动态,是把助动词be变为主动态动词原来的时态,再加上主要动词的过去分词;主动态动词的主语这时变为被动态动词的施动者;这个施动者常常不被提到;若要提到,可置于by之后或放在从句的后面:
This tree was planted by my grandfather.
B
| 主动词 | 被动词 |
如何使用微波炉一般现在时 | keeps | Is kept |
现在进行时 | Is keeping | Is being kept |
一般过去时 | kept | Was kept |
过去进行时 | Was keeping | Was being kept |
现在完成时 | Has kept | Has been kept |
过去完成时 | Had kept | Had been kept |
一般将来时 | Will keep | Will be kept |
条件语气 | Would keep | Would be kept |
条件语气完成时 | Would have kept | Would have been kept |
不定式 | To keep | To be kept |
不定式完成式 | To have kept | To have been kept |
现在分词/动名词 | Keeping | Being kept |
分词完成式 | Having kept | 离职单To have been kept |
| | |
We keep the butter here.
The butter is kept here.
C 各个进行时态的被动态要求用be的进行式加上主要动词的过去分词,be的这种进行时形式在其他方面很少使用:
They are repairing the bridge.
The bridge is being repaired.
在被动句中,除现在及过去进行时外,其他进行进态用得非常少;因此像下列这类句子通常不能用被动态:
They have/had been repairing the road.
They will/would be repairing the road.
D 助动词+动词原形结构可借助于被动式来构成被动语态:
You must/should shut the doors.
The doors must/should be shut.
E
表示喜欢、热爱、希望、想要及与其相似意义的动词+宾语+ 不定式,由不定式的被动式构成其被动语态:电能计量装置
He wants someone to take photographs.
He wants photographs to be taken.
表示命令/请求/劝告/邀请的动词+间接宾语+不定式,可用主动词的被动式来构成被动语态:
He invited me to go.
I was invited to go.
但是,如是advi/beg/order/recommend/urge+间接宾语+不定式+宾语的结构,则可构成两种
被动语态:或如上所述将主要动词变为被动语态,或用advi等+that… should+被动式:
He urged the Council to reduce the rates.
The Council was/were urged to reduce the rates.
照例He urged that the rates should be reduced.
至于 agree/be anxious/arrange/be determined/determine/decide/demand+不定式+宾语,则通常用that… should结构来表示被动语态,与上面所述的第二种方式相同:
He decided to ll the hou.
He decided that the hou should be sold.
F 动名词结构
如是 advi/insist/propo/recommend/suggest+动名词+宾语结构,通常由that…should结构来表示被动语态,与上面所述相同:
He recommended using bullet-proof glass.
He recommended that bullet-proof glass should be ud.
G动名词结构
如是it/they+need+动名词结构,也可用it/they+need+被动式结构来表示,两种结构在意思上都是被动语态;其他动名词结构的被动态由动名词的被动式来表示:
I remember them taking me to the Zoo.
I remember being taken to the Zoo.

●被动结构与被动意义的问题
★英汉被动意义表示法比较
1.英汉被动句型类似的说法,“据说,据估计、报道,众所周知,必须指出”等
据说工人们对他都很同情;
It is said that the workers all regarded him with sympathy.
潘先生据说是个走私者;
Mr. Pan is said to be a smuggler.
2.汉语有一种不出现主语的句子,英语通常用被动结构表达

职业道德的特点昨天抓到了一个特务;
3.汉语和英语都有以主动结构表示被动意义的情况
这种料子容易销售;
This kind of material lls well.

且可以转换为相应的被动结构;
The hou is building
=The hou is being built.
The cakes are baking.
=the cakes are being baked.
二,这类动词最常用是一般现在时表示被动意义,这类动词的主语也是指物的居多通常具有某些内在的特征,能促使动词所表示的动作得以实现或难以实现;
1.某些系动词,smell, taste, sound, prove, feel

注意:表示同某人结婚,用marry sb. 或get married to sb.均可;例如:
