爱华网英语被动语态知识讲解与练习题
一、概述
英语中有两种语态：主动语态和被动语态。英语的语态是通过动词形式的变化表现出来的。
主动语态表示主语是动作的执行者。被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者，即行为动作的对象。
被动语态由“助动词be＋及物动词的过去分词”构成。人称、数和时态的变化是通过be的变化表现出来的。一般现在时：am／is／are＋p.p 一般过去时：was／were＋p.p
一般将来时：will／shall+be＋p.p 现在进行时：am／is／arebeing＋p.p
过去进行时：have／hasbeing＋p.p 现在完成时：have／has+been＋p.p
过去完成时：had+been＋p.p过去将来时：would／should+be＋p.p
二、被动语态的用法
(1)不知道或没有必要说明动作的执行者是谁。
例如：Somenewcomputerswerestolenlastnight.一些新电脑在昨晚被盗了。(不知谁偷的)
(2)强调动作的承受者，而不强调动作的执行者。
例如：ThewindowwasbrokenbyMike.Thisbookwaswrittenbyhim.这本书是他写的。
三、主动语态变被动语态的方法
(1)把主动语态的宾语变为被动语态的主语。 (2)把谓语变成被动结构(be＋过去分词)
(3)把主动语态中的主语放在介词by之后作宾语，将主格改为宾格。
(4)含有情态动词的主动句变成被动句时，由“情态动词＋be＋过去分词”构成，原来带to的情态动词变成被动语态后“to”仍要保留。
例如：Allthepeoplelaughedathim.--àHewaslaughedatbyallpeople.
Theymakethebikesinthefactory.--àThebikesaremadebytheminthefactory.
Yououghttotakeitaway.--àItoughttobetakenaway.
四、特殊句子的被动语态
1.双宾语句子如何变成被动语态
英语有些句子含有两个宾语：直接宾语和间接宾语。例如： The crowd gave the guest a warmwelcome里，就有双宾语。一个是直接宾语awarm welcome ；另一个是间接宾语theguest。在变成被动语态时，其中一个宾语要成为主语。在一般情况下，我们多以间接宾语为主语，直接宾语留在原位，如：The guest was given a warm welome by thecrowd.
但是，如果重点在直接宾语，直接宾语便要变成被动语态的主语，如：
We will offer any capableapplicant a competitive salary.要变成：
A competitive salary will beoffered to any capable applicant.
2.名词性从句如何变成被动语态
“People generally feel thatsocial workers are offering valuable services for thepublic.”这句子可以“it”作为主语，然后，把名词分句移到句子后头去：
“It is generally felt thatsocial workers are offering valuable services for thepublic.”
另一种变法是把名词性从句的主语转为被动句的主语，接着把名词分句的动词变成不定式动词：
“Social workers are generallyfelt to be offering valuable services for thepublic.”
3.若感官动词宾语补足语是不带to 的不定式，变为被动语态时，该不定式前要加to。如: feel, hear, help, listen to, look at, make,observe, see, notice, watch
The teacher made me go out of the classroom.--> I was made to go out of theclassroom.
We sawhim play football on the playground. --> He was seento play football on the playground.
4. let 的用法
1）当let后只有一个单音节动词，变被动语态时，可用不带to 的不定式。
They let the strangego.---> The strange was letgo.
2）若let 后宾补较长时，let 通常不用被动语态，而用allow或permit 代替。
The nurse let me go to see myclassmate in the hospital.
----> I was allowed /permitted to see my classmate in the hospital.
5. 短语动词是一个整体，不可丢掉后面的介词或副词。
This is a photo of the power stationthat has been set up in my hometown.
My sister will be taken care of byGrandma.
Such a thing has never been heard ofbefore..
五、学习被动语态时要注意的几个问题
1、有些原来不及物的动词，如作使役动词用，则有被动语态，常见的有fly, run, stand, walk等。
例如：ManycarshavebeenflowntoEurope.许多汽车已被空运到欧洲去了。
Thisbottlemustnotbestoodclosetothefire.这只瓶不得放在近火处。
Horsesshouldbewalkedforsometimeafterarace.赛马后，得溜一会儿马。
2.主动形式表示被动意义
1)wash, clean, cook, iron, look, cut, sell, read,wear, feel, draw, write, sell, drive…等主动形式表示被动意义，如：The book sells well. 这本书销路好。
This knife cuts easily. 这刀子很好用。
2)blame, let(出租),remain, keep, rent, build主动形式表示被动意义
I was to blame for the accident. Much work remains.
3) 在need, require, want,worth (形容词),deserve后的动名词必须用主动形式表示被动意义。
The doorneeds repairing.= The door needs to berepaired.
Thisroom needs cleaning. 这房间应该打扫一下。 This book is worth reading.
4) 特殊结构：make sb. heard / understood(使别人能听见/理解自己)，have sth. done( 要某人做某事),be determined,be pleased, be graduated (from), be finished, be prepared (for), beoccupied (in), get married被动形式表示主动意义
He is graduated from a famousuniversity. 他毕业于一所有名的大学。
注意：表示同某人结婚，用marry sb.或get married to sb.都可。
He married a richgirl. He got married toa rich girl.
注意：当need, want, require,worth(形容词)后面接doing也可以表示被动。
Yourhair wants cutting. 你的头发该理了。 The floor requires washing. 地板需要冲洗。
The book is worthreading. 这本书值得一读。
5).get+p.p 表被动，此机构较口语化：She got married last week.He got killed.
6).表示“开始”、“结束”、“运动”的词,如：begin, finish, start, open, close, stop,end,shut,run,move. 如： Work began at 7 o’clock this morning.
He shop closes at 6 p.m. everyday.
7)表示主语的某些属性的词，如read, write, act, sell,wash,clean, wear, open,cook, lock, shut, dry, cat,drink.这类动词一般不单独使用，常加一个修饰语。
This coat dries easily.The pen writes smoothly.
3.中文含有被动意义的句子，不一定要用“被”字，但在译成英文时，却要变成被动语态。
例如：①灯关掉了：The light was turnedoff.（不是：The light turnedoff）
②会议延期举行：The meeting will be putoff.（不是：The meeting willput off）
③这件事必须保密：This matter should be keptsecret.（不是：This mattershould be secret）
④发展计划提早完成：The development project was completedbefore schedule.
⑤我们学校去年建造了新的电脑室：Last year, a new computer roomwas built in our school.
⑥在旧社会，妇女是受轻视的：Inthe old society, women were looked down upon.
4. 区别被动语态与“连系动词 be+过去分词”的结构
“be+过去分词”并不一定都是被动语态，有时是系表结构。当“be+过去分词”表示动作时为被动语态，be是助动词，be后面的过去分词是主要动词，动作的对象是主语；当“be +过去分词”表示主语所处的状态时为系表结构，be是连系动词。be后面的过去分词是表语，相当于形容词。其区分办法如下：
1)．如果强调动作或句中有介词by引导出动作的执行者，该句一般为被动语态，否则为系表结构。
如: The glass isbroken．玻璃杯碎了。（系表结构）
The glass was broken by the boy． 玻璃杯被那男孩打碎了。（被动语态）
2)．如果句中有地点、频率或时间状语时，一般为被动语态。如：
Themagazine is published in Shanghai．这家杂志出版于上海。（被动语态）
Thedoor is locked． 门锁着。（系表结构）
Thedoor has already/just been locked． 门已经/刚刚被锁上。（被动语态）
Theshop is opened．这家商店开门了。（系表结构）
Theshop is opened at 8 a.m.everyday．这家商店每天上午八点开门。（被动语态）
3)．被动语态除用于一般时态和完成时态外，还可以用于其他各种时态，而系表结构中的系动词be只有一般时态和完成时态。所以下列句子都是被动语态：
The machine is being repaired．机器正在修。
A new school will be built here．这里将要建一所新学校。
六、 不用被动语态的情况
1).不及物动词或动词短语无被动语态：appear, die disappear, end(vi. 结束), fail, happen,last, lie, remain, sit, spread, stand, break out, come true, fallasleep, keep silence, lose heart, takeplace.
比较： rise, fall,happen是不及物动词；raise,seat是及物动词。
(错) The price has been risen. (对) The price hasrisen.
(错) The accidentwas happened last week. (对) The accidenthappened last week.
(错) The pricehas raised. (对) The pricehas been raised.
(错) Pleaseseat. (对) Please beseated.
要想正确地使用被动语态，就须注意哪些动词是及物的，哪些是不及物的。特别是一词多义的动词往往有两种用法。解决这一问题唯有在学习过程中多留意积累。
2) 不能用于被动语态的及物动词或动词短语：fit, have, hold, marry, own, wish, cost, notice,watch agree with, arrive at / in, shake hands with, succeed in,suffer from, happen to, take part in, walk into, belongto
如: This key just fits thelock.
Your story agrees with what had already been heard.
3) 系动词无被动语态： appear, be become, fall, feel, get, grow, keep, look,remain, seem, smell, sound, stay, taste,turn
如: Itsounds good.
4) 带同源宾语的及物动词，反身代词，相互代词，不能用于被动语态： die, death, dream, live, life。 如: She dreamed a bad dream last night.
5) 当宾语是不定式时，很少用于被动语态。
(对) She likes toswim. (错) To swim isliked by her.
6)、一般以为凡及物动词都有相应的被动句，其实不然，当“主+动+宾”结构的谓语动词是表示状态或特征的及物动词，如contain, cost, fit, have, lack, resemble,suit等，主动句便没有相应的被动句：Lindaresembleshermother.琳达象她母亲。
Thisredcoatbecomesher.这件红上衣合她的身。
Theauditoriumholds2000people.大礼堂能容纳两千人。
Myshoesdon’tfitme.我的鞋不合脚。
Jackalwayslacksconfidence.杰克总是缺乏信心。
但是，状态动词know有相应的被动态：Expertshavebeenknowntomakethismistake. 有时，有些不能用于被动语态的状态动词，在同一意义上，如果不用”by+词组”，可以有被动句。如：Allmythingsareheldinthisbox.这只箱子里装着我所有的东西。
7)、某些被动句没有相应的主动句。
例如：ShewasborninNanjing.她生于南京。
Hewassaidtobeanhonestman.据说他是个老实人。
Theywillbemarriednextmonth.他们将于下月结婚。
Marysaidthatshewasnotobligedtoworkovertime.玛丽说她并不是非加班不可。
8)、当“主动宾”结构的宾语为反身代词或相互代词时，通常不能转换为被动句。
例如：Thedoctordedicatedherselftofindingacure.
Didhehurthimselfwhenhefell?他跌倒时有没有摔伤了自己?
Wecouldhardlyseeeachotherinthefog.在雾中我们彼此几乎看不见。
Theytoldeachotherabouttheirfamilies.他们互相向对方讲述了各自的家庭情况。
