英語中有時用動詞的主動形式表示被動意義。現總結如下:
1. 連係動詞(包括感官動詞),如look,feel,sound,taste,smell,prove,appear等常用主動形式表示被動意義。
例如:
The dishes taste good.
This kind of glass feels very smoothy.
This kind of cIoth feels soft.
What he said sounded true.
These methods have proves quite effective.
He proves(to be) honest.
2.某些動詞,如sell,wash,write,lock,shut,close,open,read,wear等,作不及物動詞時常用主動形式表示被動意義,通常表明主語的某種特征或屬性,一般帶有一個副詞作修飾語。
例如:
His pen writes smoothly.
The window won’t shut.
This type of TV set sells well.
The knife cuts well.
3.be worth doing用主動形式表被動意義。
例如:
The book is well worth reading.
This film is worth seeing.
4.need,want,require,won’t bear,deserve等動詞後用V—ing,主動形式表被動意義。句中主語是V—ing實質上的賓語,用作V—ing形式的動詞若是不及物動詞,後應加相應的介詞。
The flowers need/want/require watering.
The problem required paying special attention attention to.
以上句子也可用不定式的被動語態來表示。
例如:
The door needs repairing.(=The door needs to be repaired.)
5. 某些動詞的進行時可表被動意義,如print,cook,build,show等。
例如:
What’s showing at the cinema this week?
Her _disibledevent=being built).
6. to let(出租),to blame(責備)隻用主動形式表被動意義。
例如:
This flat is to let.
Who is to blame for it?
I think he,rather than you is to blame.
7.在there be句型中,可以用主動形式表被動意義。
例如:
There is nothing to read.
There is nothing to do now.
There is nothing to worry about.
8.在“be+形容詞+to do”中,不定式的邏輯賓語是句子的主語,常用主動形式表被動意義。
