305 介词与被动态动词连用
A 正如已经提到过的,要提到被动态动词的施动者时,前面须用 by 引导:
主动态: |
Dufy painted this picture.达菲画的这幅画。 |
被动态: |
This picture was painted by Dufy.这幅画是达菲画的。 |
主动态: |
What makes these holes?是什么东西弄出这些破洞的? |
被动态 |
What are these holes made by?这些破洞是什么东西弄的? |
注意下列句子:
Smoke filled the room.房间里烟雾弥漫。
Paint covered the lock.油漆涂遍了锁上。
它们的被动形式应当是:
The room was filled with smoke.
The lock was covered with paint.
这里针对的只是所涉及的物质而不是施动者本人。
B 动词 + 介词 + 宾语这一结构变成被动态时,介词应直接跟在动词之后:
主动态: |
We must write to him.我们必须给他写信。 |
被动态: |
He must be written to.必须给他写信。 |
主动态: |
You can play with these cubs quite safely.你和这些熊崽子玩不会有危险。 |
被动态 |
These cubs can be played with quite safely.和这些熊崽子玩不会有危险。 |
对动词 + 介词/副词结构,也应同样处理:
主动态: |
They threw away the old newspapers.他们把旧报纸扔了。 |
被动态: |
The old newspapers were thrown away.旧报纸给扔了。 |
主动态: |
He looked after the children well.他对孩子们照顾得很好。 |
被动态 |
The children were well looked after.孩子们被照顾得很好。 |
