(5)被动语态与系表结构的区别
被动语态强调动作;系表结构表主语的特点或状态。如:
The book was sold by a certain bookstore.(被动语态)
The book is well sold.(系表结构)
动词的语态一般不单独考,而是和时态、语气和非谓语动词一起考,只是需要注意以下考点。
考点一:不能用于被动语态的动词和词组
come true, consist of, take place, happen, become, rise, occur, belong, break out, appear, arrive, die, fall, last, exist, fail, succeed
It took place before liberation.
考点二:下列动词的主动语态表示被动意义, 而且常与well, quite, easily, badly等副词连用。
lock ( 锁 ) ; wash ( 洗 ); sell ( 卖 ); read ( 读 ); wear ( 穿 ); blame (责备);ride (乘坐); write ( 写 );
Glass breaks easily. 玻璃容易破碎。
The car rides smoothly. 这车走起来很稳。
The case locks easily. 这箱子很好锁。
The book sells well. 这本书很畅销。
考点三:一些常用经典被动句型:
It is said..., It is reported..., It is widely believed..., It is expected..., It is estimated...,这些句子一般翻译为"据说......","人们认为......",而 "以前人们认为......" 则应该说:It was believed..., It was thought...
