A 知識歸納
英語動詞有兩種語態(tài),即主動語態(tài)和被動語態(tài)。主動語態(tài)表示主語是動作的執(zhí)行者,被動語態(tài)表示主語是動作的承受者。如:
We should plant many trees on the mountains.
我們應該在山上種許多樹。
Many trees should be planted on the mountains.
應該在山上種許多樹。
被動語態(tài)由“助動詞be+及物動詞的過去分詞”構成。人稱、數和時態(tài)的變化通過助動詞be的變化來體現(xiàn)。本單元學到的是含有情態(tài)動詞的被動語態(tài),其結構為“情態(tài)動詞+助動詞be+及物動詞的過去分詞”。如:
Teenagers should be allowed to go out with their friends.
應該允許青少年和朋友們外出。
介詞by+動作的執(zhí)行者構成的by介詞短語,在句中作狀語。如不強調執(zhí)行者,很多時候可以省略by介詞短語。如:
People all over the world enjoy it now.
現(xiàn)在全世界的人都喜歡(這一運動)。
=Now it is enjoyed by people all over the world.
現(xiàn)在(這一運動)受到全世界人的喜歡。
We clean the windows every day. 我們每天都擦窗戶。
=The windows are cleaned every day(by us). 窗戶每天都擦。
He needs three more men to do the work.
他還需要三個人來做這件事。
=Three more men are needed to do the work.
還需要三個人做這件事。
Mother cooks meals at home. 在家里媽媽做飯。
=Meals are cooked by Mother at home. 在家里飯是媽媽做的。
B 延伸拓展
在什么情況下要用到被動語態(tài)呢?一般來說,被動語態(tài)的句子常見的有下面的幾種情況:
1.不知道或沒有必要說出動作的執(zhí)行者是誰或者大家都清楚動作的執(zhí)行者是誰時,常用被動語態(tài)。如:
The children should be allowed to go to the movies with friends on Friday nights.
孩子們應當被允許星期五晚上和朋友們一起去看電影。
2.強調動作的承受者,而不是動作的執(zhí)行者時,常用被動語態(tài)。如:
Tables can be made of stone. 桌子可由石頭做成。
A lot of teachers are needed in the west part of China.
在中國西部需要大量的教師。
C 綜合提高
含有情態(tài)動詞的被動語態(tài)句子變?yōu)榉穸ň鋾r,應該在情態(tài)動詞后面加not(而不是在be動詞后面加not)。如:
Waste paper should not be thrown here. 廢紙不應該扔在這里。
Teenagers should not be allowed to get their hair colored.
青少年不應該被允許染發(fā)。
那么含有情態(tài)動詞的被動語態(tài)句子如何變?yōu)橐话阋蓡柧淠兀亢芎唵?,將情態(tài)動詞移到句首即可。如:
Should it be done by Li Ming? 這件事應該由李明做嗎?
Should I be allowed to choose my own clothes?
我應該被允許選擇自己的衣服嗎?
含有情態(tài)動詞的主動語態(tài)變?yōu)楸粍诱Z態(tài)時,要把主動語態(tài)中的賓語變?yōu)楸粍诱Z態(tài)中的主語;主動語態(tài)中的謂語動詞變?yōu)椤扒閼B(tài)動詞+助動詞be+過去分詞”;主動語態(tài)中的主語變?yōu)榻樵~by的賓語,放在句尾(如果不強調動作的執(zhí)行者,by短語??墒÷?。如:
Parents should allow fourteen-year-olds to choose their own clothes.
父母應該允許十四歲的少年選擇他們自己的服裝。
→Fourteen-year-olds should be allowed to choose their own clothes(by parents).
[注]allow用于被動語態(tài)時,不能用it作形式主語,如不能說:
Its not allowed to smoke here. 而要說:
People are not allowed to smoke here. 或Smoking is not allowed here. 此處禁止吸煙。
