不定式被动态的用法
一、 不定式与其逻辑主语之间是被动关系时(其逻辑主语是不定式动作的承受者),要用不定式的被动式。
二、 动词不定式的被动语态有两种形式:
1)一般式 (not/never )to be done (其动作与谓语动词的动作同时发生或在其后发生)
2)完成式 (not/ never) to have been done (表示不定式动作发生在谓语动词之前)
e.g. He ordered the bridge to be built within the month.他命令在月内建成这座桥。(一般被动式)
She was glad to have been given so much help.得到如此多的帮助, 她很高兴。(完成被动式)
✧ 通常在believe, suppo, say, report等动词构成的句子中可以进行主动语态到被动语态以及被动语态和动词不定式的转换。如:
They say that Mike is sick in bed. — It is said that Mike is sick in bed.
—Mike is said to be sick in bed.
根据上面的例子仿写下面的句子:
People believe that he was killed.
—_______________________________________
—________________________________________
三、 不定式的被动形式有下列用法:
✧ 作主语(常用it做形式主语)
It is an honor for me to be asked to speak here.
✧ 作宾语(动词+ to be done/to have been done)
She asked to be nt to work in Xinjiang.
✧ 构成复合宾语(宾语补足语):有些及物动词接了宾语之后需要接宾语补足语补充说明宾语的有关情况,否则句子意思不完整。--------主语+及物动词+宾语+爱与孤独宾补(复合宾语)
He wanted the letter to be typed at once.
✧ 构成复合谓语:某些动词+to be done/to have been done。这些动词包括:表示说话及心理状态的动词有:say, report, believe, suppo, think, know, consider+ to be done/to have been done
✧ 作定语(放在名词或代词之后):中心词是不定式的承受者。不定式的动词应该是及物动词(及物动词时不带宾语)或者相当于及物动词的短语(不及物动词+介词/副词);作定语通常修饰the first/the last/the third等。
This is the last question to be discusd.
✧ 作状语:
She was too young to be assigned such work.
总结:不定式有时还可以有完成式的被动式, 在句中作主语、宾语、定语, 或者构成复合宾语、复合谓语等。请判断下列句子中不定式的被动态作什么成分。
It is a good thing for him to have been criticized. ( 飘飘欲仙灰太狼)
She preferred to have been given heavier work to do. ( )
He thought it an honor to have been invited to the party. ( )
The book is said to have been translated into many languages. ( )
She was the first woman to have been elected to such a post. ( )

2. 在“too…to do; enough…to…”结构中。(n. +be+too+adj. +to do /n. +be +adj. +enough to do)如:
