陷阱一 用错被动语态的时态
大家知道,将被动语态的用法与时态内容结合起来考查是被动语态考点最可能的命题形式。那么如何理解被动语态的时态呢?首先,大家要明确被动语态的构成方法是“be 过去分词”;其次,要知道被动语态的时态是通过其中的助动词be来体现的,与其后的过去分词无关。如:
English is taught in most schools. 大多数学校都教英语。
这是一般现在时的被动语态,因为其中的be用的是一般现在时 is。
She was asked to sing a song. 大家要求她唱一支歌。
这是一般过去时的被动语态,因为其中的be用的是一般过去时 was。
Some of us will be asked to speak at the meeting. 我们有些人将被邀在会上发言。
这是一般将来时的被动语态,因为其中的be用的是一般将来时 will be。
All the tickets have been sold out. 票已售完。
这是现在完成时的被动语态,因为其中的be用的是现在完成时have been。
陷阱二 漏掉被动语态中的不定式符号to
根据英语语法规则,当不定式用于某些动词后作宾语补足语时,习惯上要将不定式符号to省略;但是,若此时将谓语动词变为被动语态,则其后的不定式不能省略to。比较:
Someone saw him enter the office. 有人看见他进了办公室。
He was seen to enter the office. 有人看见他进了办公室。
The boss made him work twenty hours a day. 老板要他一天工作20小时。
He was made to work twenty hours a day. 他被迫一天工作20小时。
陷阱三 将连系动词误用于被动语态
英语中有些连系动词(如look, sound, smell, feel, taste等),虽然它们从汉语看来需要用被动语态,但它们总是用主动表式表示被动意义,因为连系动词为不及物动词,它们没有被动语态形式。如:
那只狗看起来很危险。
误:That dog is looked dangerous.
正:That dog looks dangerous.
你的想法听起来很好。
误:Your idea is sounded a good one.
正:Your idea sounds a good one.
陷阱四 根据汉语意思误用被动语态
因为不及物动词没有宾语,所以若将其用于被动语态则没有主语,故不能用于被动语态。但是值得注意的是,有些英语中的不及物动词,译成汉语时却可能是“及物”的,很容易出错,这类动词如take place(发生),happen(发生),come about(发生),break out(爆发),appear(出现),disappear(消失),last(持续)等。如:
在最近10年我的家乡发生了巨大的变化。
误:Great changes have been taken place in my home town in the past ten years.
正:Great changes have taken place in my home town in the past ten years.
事故什么时候发生的?
误:When was the accident happened?
正:When did the accident happen?
