第八章被动语气PassiveVoice
第八章被動語氣(PassiveVoice)
81及物動詞和不及物動詞
任何一個英文句子必定有一個動詞,請先注意以下例句的動詞
1.Hewasateacherbefore.
2.Hewenttoschoolyesterday.
3.Hehitadog.
4.Isawyouyesterday.
5.Hewalkstoschooleveryday.
6.Hesentthisbooktome.
7.Theyaregoodstudents.
8.Hewrotetwonovels.
9.Theyatealloftheapples.
10.Heswimseverymorning.
在以上的例子中,第3、4、6、8及9句子中的動詞都是及物動
詞(transitiveverbs)。
這些動詞後面都跟著一個名詞,而這個名詞是
動詞的受詞(object),其他句子的動詞,都是不及物動詞,因為他們
都沒有任何受詞。
我們將以上句子中,主詞、及物動詞和受詞的關係分析如下:
句子主詞及物動詞受詞
Hehitadog.Hehitdog
Isawyouyesterday.Isawyou
Hesenthisbooktome.Hesenthisbook
Hewrotetwonovels.Hewrotetwonovels
Theyatealloftheapples.Theyatealloftheapples
一旦動詞是及物動詞,我們就可以將這個句子由原來的主動語氣
(activevoice)改成被動語氣(passivevoice)。
但我們也要警告讀者,
不要輕易用被動語氣,因為有時被動語氣的句子是不自然的。
82沒有助動詞的被動語氣
在這以前,我們的句子都是主動語氣,這種句子的基本形式如下:
主詞+動詞+受詞
所謂的被動語氣,乃是將原來的受詞變成主詞。
舉例來說,主動
語氣中,我們說〝我看到一些狗〞,在被動語氣中,我們說〝一些狗
被我看到〞。
在英文中,將主動語氣改成被動語氣,必須做以下的動
作:
(1)原有受詞變成名詞
(2)動詞變成verbtobe+過去分詞(pastparticiple)
(3)原有主詞變成在動詞後面,但前面加by。
舉例來說,主動語氣的句子可以是
Isawacat.
被動語氣就成了
Acatwasseenbyme.
最重要的是,verbtobe的時式必須和原句子的相同,以上的例
子中,動詞是過去式,所以verbtobe也是過去式。
除此以外,verbto
be也要配合新的主詞。
請看以下的例子:
Isawtwocats.
改成被動語氣以後,句子是:
Twocatswereseenbyme.
以下是主動改被動的例子,最重要的是注意verbtobe的形式:
主動語氣(activevoice)被動語氣(passivevoice)
Mr.Joneshitthedog.ThedogwashitbyMr.Jones.
Mybrothersawyouyesterday.Youwereseenbymybrotheryesterday.
Hesentthebooktome.Thebookwassenttomebyhim.
Dickenswrotethosetwonovels.Thosetwonovelswerewrittenby
Dickens.
Theyatealloftheapples.Alloftheappleswereeatenbythem.
Janewrotethatsong.ThatsongwaswrittenbyJane.
Mymotherlovesme.Iamlovedbymymother.

17.Histoywasmadebymysister.
18.ThebookwasreturnedtomebyJim.
19.Thatsongwaswrittenbymybrother.
20.Iwasinvitedbyhimtoaparty.
83有助動詞肯定句子的被動語氣
在上一節,我們所有的例子都只是肯定句子,句子中沒有助動
詞,可是有些肯定句子還是有助動詞的,以下是一些例子:
主動語氣被動語氣
現在進形式Iamwritingthisletter.Theletterisbeingwrittenby
me.
現在完程式Ihavewrittentheletter.Theletterhasbeenwrittenby
me.
過去進形式Iwaswritingtheletterwhen
youcame.
Theletterwasbeingwrittenby
mewhenyoucame.
過去完程式Ihadwrittentheletterbefore
youcame.
Theletterhadbeenwrittenby
mebeforeyoucame.
未來式Iwillwritetheletter.Theletterwillbewrittenbyme.
未來完成式Iwillhavewrittenthisletter.Thisletterwillhavebeen
writtenbyme.
未來式Iamgoingtoseeyou.Youaregoingtobeseenbyme.
以下是更多的例子:
主動語氣被動語氣
Ihaveseenhim.Hehasbeenseenbyme.
Heisgoingtohelpyou.Youaregoingtobehelpedbyhim.
HewillteachEnglish.Englishwillbetaughtbyhim.
Hehashelpedmeallmylife.Ihavebeenhelpedbyhimallmylife.
Hehadcalledmebeforeyoucame.Ihadbeencalledbyhimbeforeyou
came.
HewascallinghismotherwhenweHismotherwasbeingcalledbyhim
wentthere.whenwewentthere.
助動詞不一定和時式有關,can、should、hasto等等都是助動詞,
這些助動詞在改成被動語氣的時後,都應維持原狀,只需加入verbto
be和過去分詞即可。
以下是一些例子:
主動語氣被動語氣
Icanplaythepiano.Thepianocanbeplayedbyme.
Imayusethisroom.Thisroommaybeusedbyme.
Hemustgivethebooktome.Thebookmustbegiventomebyhim.
Youshouldhelphim.Heshouldbehelpedbyyou.

現在舉一個否定的例子:

改成被動語氣:
