動(dòng)詞的語(yǔ)態(tài)
1. 概念與構(gòu)成
當(dāng)句子的主語(yǔ)是動(dòng)作的執(zhí)行者時(shí),謂語(yǔ)的形式用主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài);當(dāng)句子的主語(yǔ)是動(dòng)作的承受者時(shí),謂語(yǔ)要用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)由“助動(dòng)詞be + 過去分詞”構(gòu)成,時(shí)態(tài)通過be 表現(xiàn)出來。如下表所示:
時(shí)態(tài) |
謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)式 |

was / were + done / v-ed |
The story was told by her. |

The problem will be discussed tomorrow. |
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí) |
am / is / are + being + done / v-ed |
The road is being widened. |
過去進(jìn)行時(shí) |
was / were + being + done / v-ed |
The new tool was being made. |
現(xiàn)在完成時(shí) |
has / have + been + done / v-ed |
The novel has been read. |
過去完成時(shí) |

2. 一些特殊的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)
1) 短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu):用于這類被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)的短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要作為整體看待,即要把它們看作單個(gè)及物動(dòng)詞。例如:
The baby is looked after carefully.
2) 有些動(dòng)詞形式上是主動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu),但表示被動(dòng)的意思:
① 具有及物意義的不及物動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)意義:在主語(yǔ)是物的句子中,有些動(dòng)詞的主動(dòng)形式可以表示被動(dòng)意義。常用的這類動(dòng)詞有sell, read, feel, write, wear, wash, open, clean, cook, keep, cut, fill, blow, measure, lock, run, record, begin, shut等等。例如:
The book sells well. 這本書很暢銷。
Your composition reads well. 你的作文讀起來很不錯(cuò)。
This pen writes smoothly. 這支鋼筆好用。
② 動(dòng)名詞主動(dòng)形式表示被動(dòng)意義:通常是物作want, need, require等動(dòng)詞的主語(yǔ)時(shí),表示事物客觀上需要……,用動(dòng)名詞一般式的主動(dòng)形式作賓語(yǔ)表示被動(dòng)意義。例如:
The classroom wants / needs / requires cleaning. 教室需要打掃。
這種用法的動(dòng)名詞改用不定式一般式的被動(dòng)形式后也可表示同樣意義。例如:
The classroom wants to be cleaned.
