前言
主动语态是”主语做动作”,被动语态是”主语承受动作”。中文里被动句不多,但英语里被动句非常常见——尤其在阅读理解和语法选择中。今天的目标:搞懂被动语态的结构,能在各时态中自如切换主动和被动。
一、什么是被动语态
对比理解
| 语态 | 角度 | 例子 | 翻译 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 主动 | 主语做动作 | He wrote the letter. | 他写了这封信。 |
| 被动 | 主语承受动作 | The letter was written by him. | 这封信是他写的。 |
什么时候用被动?
- 不知道谁做的 → The window was broken.(窗户被打破了,不知道谁干的)
- 强调承受者 → English is spoken in many countries.(强调英语被使用)
- 正式文体 → It is reported that…(据报道…)
二、被动语态的基本结构
be + 过去分词
就这么简单。时态靠be动词变化体现,过去分词永远不变。
| 时态 | be动词变化 | 过去分词 |
|---|---|---|
| 一般现在 | am/is/are | 不变 |
| 一般过去 | was/were | 不变 |
| 一般将来 | will be | 不变 |
| 现在进行 | am/is/are being | 不变 |
| 过去进行 | was/were being | 不变 |
| 现在完成 | have/has been | 不变 |
三、各时态被动语态详解
1. 一般现在时的被动
am/is/are + 过去分词
| 主动 | 被动 | 翻译 |
|---|---|---|
| They speak English here. | English is spoken here. | 这里说英语。 |
| She cleans the room. | The room is cleaned by her. | 房间被她打扫。 |
| We use computers every day. | Computers are used every day. | 电脑每天被使用。 |
2. 一般过去时的被动
was/were + 过去分词
| 主动 | 被动 | 翻译 |
|---|---|---|
| He wrote the letter. | The letter was written by him. | 信是他写的。 |
| They built the house in 2020. | The house was built in 2020. | 房子建于2020年。 |
| She bought a new car. | A new car was bought by her. | 新车是她买的。 |
3. 一般将来时的被动
will be + 过去分词
| 主动 | 被动 | 翻译 |
|---|---|---|
| They will hold the meeting. | The meeting will be held. | 会议将被举行。 |
| She will finish the work. | The work will be finished by her. | 工作将由她完成。 |
4. 现在进行时的被动
am/is/are being + 过去分词
| 主动 | 被动 | 翻译 |
|---|---|---|
| They are building a bridge. | A bridge is being built. | 一座桥正在被建造。 |
| She is painting the door. | The door is being painted. | 门正在被漆。 |
5. 过去进行时的被动
was/were being + 过去分词
| 主动 | 被动 | 翻译 |
|---|---|---|
| He was repairing the car. | The car was being repaired. | 汽车正在被修理。 |
| They were discussing the problem. | The problem was being discussed. | 问题正在被讨论。 |
6. 现在完成时的被动
have/has been + 过去分词
| 主动 | 被动 | 翻译 |
|---|---|---|
| She has finished the work. | The work has been finished. | 工作已经完成了。 |
| They have planted many trees. | Many trees have been planted. | 很多树已经被种了。 |
四、主动变被动的步骤
三步转换法:
- 把主动句的宾语提到前面作新主语
- 动词变成 be + 过去分词(be的时态和原句一致)
- 原来的主语变成 by + 宾格(可省略)
示例
1 | 主动:Tom cleans the room every day. |
练习1:把主动句变被动
- She teaches us English. → _______________________
- They built the bridge in 2019. → _______________________
- He will send the email tomorrow. → _______________________
- She is reading the book. → _______________________
- They have finished the project. → _______________________
五、含情态动词的被动语态
情态动词 + be + 过去分词
| 主动 | 被动 | 翻译 |
|---|---|---|
| You must finish the work. | The work must be finished. | 工作必须完成。 |
| We can solve this problem. | This problem can be solved. | 这个问题能被解决。 |
| You should clean the room. | The room should be cleaned. | 房间应该被打扫。 |
| You may borrow the book. | The book may be borrowed. | 这本书可以被借。 |
练习2:把含情态动词的主动句变被动
- We must protect the environment. → _______________________
- You can’t park here. → _______________________
- She should hand in the homework. → _______________________
六、双宾动词的被动
双宾动词变被动时,间接宾语(人)或直接宾语(物)都可以作新主语,但通常用”人”作主语更自然。
用间接宾语(人)作主语
1 | 主动:She gave me a book. |
用直接宾语(物)作主语
1 | 主动:She gave me a book. |
注意:如果用”物”作主语,原来的”人”前面要加to或for。
| 主动 | 被动(人作主语) | 被动(物作主语) |
|---|---|---|
| He told us the news. | We were told the news. | The news was told to us. |
| Mom bought me a gift. | I was bought a gift. | A gift was bought for me. |
七、不能用被动的情况
| 情况 | 原因 | 例子 |
|---|---|---|
| 不及物动词 | 没有宾语,无法变被动 | It rained.(不能说was rained) |
| 系动词 | 没有宾语 | She is beautiful.(不能说is been beautiful) |
| 某些固定搭配 | 宾语和动词不可分 | He lost heart.(不能说Heart was lost) |
