被动语态(讲解)

2009-04-22 词汇语法 来源:互联网 作者:
英语的被动语态形式而完全不加变动。
5、关于习惯
He is quite used to hard work.____ALD
This is not the kind of treatment I am accustomed to. _____ALD
He is addicted to smoking. _____ALD
The old soldier was inured to danger. ____LDCE
He is given to long walks. _____LDCE
英语中有些动词,由于常用于被动语态,词典中对它们的分词(participle)形式另立专条著录,成为独立的词,其功能相当于形容词。以上例句中的动词就是典型的例子。例如,词典一般既有use这一专条(不定式动词),又有 used;既有 accustom,又有 accustomed;既有give,又有given。但如inure及addict,在 ALD上只注明"常用于被动"(usu.passive),尚未另立inured和 addicted专条,其他词典也大体是这样,虽然addicted还可以作为形容词,看成是独立的词条。然而不管这些词是否带有形容词的性质,在上面的句子中却具有被动语态的作用。
6.关于苦恼、心烦意乱
He was annoyed to learn that the train would be delayed.____ALD
She is easily upset emotionally.____ALD
He was vexed at his failure. ____ ALD
He was disturbed to hear of your illness.______ALD
I felt harassed by all the work of the office._____LDCE
苦恼等情绪当然是引起的,因此英语中的被动语态似乎说明了是由于什么引起的,但要注意第一句She is easily upset emotionally.不必指出原因。
7.关于惊讶或震惊
I was astonished to see him there. ____ALD
I'm surprised he didn't come._____ALD
He was shocked to hear his daughter swearing. _____ALD
He was startled to see him looking so ill._____ALD
He was astounded when he heard he had won._____ALD
一个正常的人无故不会大惊小怪。但是我们说"吃惊"、"大吃一惊"或"使……吃惊"和"使……大吃一惊"等也就够了,不
同于英语的被动表现形式。
8.关于围绕、包围
His land is fenced with barbed wire.____ALD
Troy was besieged by the greeks for ten years._____ALD
The troops were surrounded._____ALD
The cliffedge is dangerous and should be railed._____LDCE
Japan is compassed about by the ocean.____LDCE
对于以上第二句,第三句及第五句,汉语是可以用"被包围"这类说法的,但对第一句的"is fenced with,"如说"有篱笆围住"就行了,不一定要说"被用篱笆围住"。至于第四句中"should be railed",英语的被动语态在汉语中也难以表达。我们通常说:应该用栏杆围起来",或"应该把它用栏杆围起来",而不是"应该被用栏杆围起来"。
9.关于玷污、污染
His reputation is tarnished._____ALD
My car was mired. ____ ALD
The river was contaminated with water from the factory. ____ LDCE
Your fingers are stained with ink.
That cheese is mildewed.
和第三句的contaminated意义近似的动词如pollute及 defile等,也常用于被动语态。我们说,"出污泥而不染",不是"……而不被染"。
10.关于惶惑、慌乱
I was confounded to hear that. ____ALD
They sked so many questions that I got confused. _____ALD
Tom was bewildered by the examination questions.____ALD
He was puzzled what to do next. ____ ALD
The Cabinet Ministers are perplexed as to what to do.
以上可和第六和第七两类联系起来看。
综观以上的例子,我们觉得中国学生学英语不只是要记住动词被动语态的形式,尤其要留心,在什么情况下,英语一定比汉语更常用被动语态;要留心哪些动词是这样用的,哪些动词虽有各种不同用法,但专指某一特殊意义时一定用被动形式。有些特殊被动语态,几乎习语化了,也是不可忽视的,如下面两个句子:
My hints were lost upon him.___ ALD
My advice was thrown away upon him.___ALD
下面这类以it开头的被动语态,初学者不会使用的大有人在,以致语言死板,并违反英语习惯。
It is observed that…
It may be observed that…
It will be observed that…
It remains to be observed that…
如此等等。他们只知说We may observe that…之类,因为这与汉语结构接近。
短语动词的被动语态
 
英语中的被动语态由助动词be加及物动词的过去分词构成。有些短语动词在意义上相当于及物动词,因此也可构成被动语态。
短语动词被看成一个整体,是固定词组,所以构成被动语态时不可分开。其被动语态构成方法与普通的及物动词的被动语态的构
成方法相同。如:
1.动词+介词
He will be operated on by the best surgeon. 他将由最好的外科医生给他动手术。
This matter has been carefully looked into. 此事已得到仔细调查。
He is often laughed at by his classmates. 他经常被同学嘲笑。
2.动词 + 副词
These problems have been seriously thought over. 这些问题已得到认真考虑。
The lights are turned off at 11 pm every day. 每天晚上11点钟关灯。
The fire was soon put out. 那场大火很快被扑灭。
3.动词+副词+介词
These privileges should be done away with. 此类特权应该被取消。
Women were looked down upon in the past. 妇女过去受到歧视。
The lost time must be made up for. 失去的时间必须补回来。
4.动词+名词+介词
The children have been taken good care of. 这些孩子得到了很好的照料。
What they did have been paid great attention to. 他们所做的一切已得到极大的关注。
Time is precious and should be made full use of. 时间宝贵,应该充分利用。
