二、被动语态使用要点
(一)不及物动词不能用于被动语态
有些不及物动词不能用于被动语态,如appear, rise, die, happen, occur, lie, depart, belong to, break out, take place等都属此类动词。例如:
Great changes have taken place in my hometown. (正)
Great changes have been taken place in my hometown.(误)
(二)表示状态的动词不能用于被动语态
英语中表示某种状态或情况的动词不能用于被动语态,常见的有:lack, fit, mean, hold, resemble, have, cost, equal, contain, suit, comprise, become, last possess, benefit, lack befall,fail, consist of, look like等。
例如:
The book costs ten yuan. (正)
Ten yuan is costed by the book. (误)
注意:
当have作“吃,接收,经历,度过”解时,虽用作行为动词,但一般不用于被动语态。例如:
The children had a most enjoyable holiday.(正)
A most enjoyable holiday was had by the children.(误)
但当have作“得到,获得,欺骗”解,或同某些介词、副词结合构成及物性短语动词时,可用于被动语态。
例如:
She has been had in the dealing.
Geogred has been had over the bargain.
