英語語態(tài):主動(dòng)和被動(dòng)語態(tài)的轉(zhuǎn)換
1.被動(dòng)語態(tài)的構(gòu)成
由于不及物動(dòng)詞不能帶賓語,故無被動(dòng)語態(tài),只有及物動(dòng)詞或相當(dāng)于及物動(dòng)詞的動(dòng)詞短語才有被動(dòng)語態(tài),其基本構(gòu)成方式是“助動(dòng)詞be+過去分詞”。
注意:“be+過去分詞”結(jié)構(gòu)不一定都是被動(dòng)語態(tài),有些動(dòng)詞(如 be,feel,look,seem等)后面的過去分詞已轉(zhuǎn)化為形容詞,用作表語表示狀態(tài)。如:
My bike is broken.(我的自行車壞了。)
The door is open.(門開了。)

2.主動(dòng)語態(tài)改被動(dòng)語態(tài)的方法
1)將主動(dòng)語態(tài)改為被動(dòng)語態(tài)應(yīng)注意以下三個(gè)方面:①將主動(dòng)語態(tài)的賓語改為被動(dòng)語態(tài)的主語;②將主動(dòng)語態(tài)的謂語動(dòng)詞改為“be+過去分詞”結(jié)構(gòu);③將主動(dòng)語態(tài)的主語改為介詞by之后的賓語,放在謂語動(dòng)詞之后(有時(shí)可省略)。
2)含直接賓語和間接賓語的主動(dòng)語態(tài)改為被動(dòng)語態(tài)時(shí)有兩種情況:①把間接賓語改為被動(dòng)語態(tài)的主語,直接賓語仍保留原位;②把直接賓語改為主動(dòng)語態(tài)的主語,此時(shí),間接賓語前要加介詞to或 for。如:
He gave the boy an apple.→ The boy was given an apple.(或An apple was given to the boy.)
Her father bought her a present.→ She was bought a present by her father.(或A present was bought for her by her father.)
3)不帶to的動(dòng)詞不定式作賓語補(bǔ)足語的主動(dòng)語態(tài),改為被動(dòng)語態(tài)時(shí)不定式前要加to。如:
They watched the children sing that morning.→ The children were watched to sing that morning.
4)帶復(fù)合賓語的動(dòng)詞在改為被動(dòng)語態(tài)時(shí),一般把主動(dòng)語態(tài)的賓語改為主語,賓語補(bǔ)足語在被動(dòng)語態(tài)中作主語補(bǔ)足語。如:
We call him Xiao Wang.→ He is called Xiao Wang.
He cut his hair short.→ His hair was cut short.
They told him to help me.→ He was told to help me.
5)短語動(dòng)詞是不可分割的整體,改為被動(dòng)語態(tài)時(shí)要保持其完整性,介詞或副詞不可遺漏。如:
We must take good care of the young trees.→The young trees must be taken good care of.
6)含有賓語從句的主動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)變?yōu)楸粍?dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí),通常用it作為被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)的先行主語,從句放在句子后面;也可采用另一種形式??梢赃@樣轉(zhuǎn)換為被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)的動(dòng)詞有know,say,believe,find,think,report等。如:
People believe that he is ill.→It is believed that he is ill.(或:He is believed to be ill.)
?
3.被動(dòng)語態(tài)改為主動(dòng)語態(tài)的方法:
被動(dòng)語態(tài)中介詞by后的賓語改為主動(dòng)語態(tài)中的主語(或按題意要求確定主語),按照這個(gè)主語的人稱和數(shù)以及原來的時(shí)態(tài)把謂語動(dòng)詞形式由被動(dòng)語態(tài)改為主動(dòng)語態(tài)。注意在主動(dòng)語態(tài)中有的動(dòng)詞要求不帶to的動(dòng)詞不定式作賓語補(bǔ)足語,此時(shí)要把被動(dòng)語態(tài)中的to去掉。被動(dòng)語態(tài)的主語用來作主動(dòng)語態(tài)的賓語。如:
History is made by the people.→ The people make history.
