英语中主动表被动的六种常见结构

1、英语中主动表被动的六种常见结构英语动词，通常都是主动形式表主动意义、被动形式表被动意义。但在有些情况下，却用主动形式表被动意义。现将这些情况总结如下：一、某些系动词+形容词常见的这类系动词有：look ,feel ,smell, sound, taste, prove, turn out（结果是，证明是）等。例如：This coat feels very soft and smooth.What he said sounds reasonable.The medicine tastes bitter.All he said proved (to be) true.The flowers sme

2、lling sweet (= which smell sweet) in the botanic garden attract the visitors to the beauty of nature. We wanted to get home before dark, but it didnt quite turn out as planned.二、某些用作不及物意义的动词+副词常见的这类动词有：wash, clean, cook, eat, drink, brew, fry, bake, iron, cut , dye , dry, sell, read, write, teach, t

3、ranslate, record, wear, draw, drive, ride, lock, unlock, close ,shut ,open, break, smoke, play, act, wind up, make up, blow, keep, burn, light , strike(划着), fire , pull, fill, begin, start, finish, complete, run(运转), stop, end, owe, print, move, let(出租), carry, handle, kill, , milk, pack, pick, spli

4、t 等。这时：（1）句子的主语通常指物。（2）用来表示主语的内在品质、特征、状态或性质。(3) 通常和副词 easily, well, quickly, smoothly, badly, poorly, nicely, wonderfully, perfectly, comfortably 等连用。例如：1、He paid all that was owing.2、The tea is brewing.3、Because the shop is closing down, all the T-shirts are sold at half price.4、What are you going

5、to do this afternoon?I am going to the cinema with some friends.

6、translates well and reads easily.10、The pen my father gave me as a birthday gift writes smoothly.11、The school opens at 745 and classes begin at 8:00.12、The cigar smokes badly.13、he cakes eat deliciously.14、-Mummy, can I put the peaches in the cupboard?-No, dear.

7、 fridge instead. 15、His voice doesn't carry well.16、This material does not dye well but dries quickly.17、The damp match won't strike.注意：在这里动词都是当作不及物动词使用，用主动形式表被动强调的是主语本身所具有的某种内在的品质，促进、妨碍或阻止动词表示动作的实现；如果用被动语态则强调外界作用造成的影响，动词表示的动作的实现与否和主语的品质无关，主要取决于动作的执行者。试比较： This novel doesnt sell well. 这本小说销售

8、不畅。（是小说本身的原因） These novels have not been sold. 这些小说没有销出去。（由于其它原因没有卖出去，与小说本身无关）The door wont lock门锁不上。（门本身有毛病）The door wasnt locked门没锁。（人没把门锁上，与门本身无关） The text teaches well. 这篇课文好教。（由于课文本身的内容才使得这课文“好教” ） The text is not taught well. 这篇课文没有教好。（与课文本身无关，问题是动作执行者没有把课文教好。三、某些不及物动词（短语）常见的这类动词有：happen, occu

9、r, take place, belong to ,break out, last, run out ,go out(熄灭), go down(下降)，cost, spread，come(传来)，come on(开始), come out(出版), come up(出现), come into being(产生), come to ones mind（想起）, come about（发生）, come true, give out, suit, fit, add up(to),catch fire, measure, weigh等 1、The war broke out in 1938 and

16、to attend today.Do you have anything to say?Would you like something to drink?She had to find a room to live in.I have borrowed a novel to read during the vacation.I have several models for you to choose from.但是如果不定式和主语之间没有这种主谓关系，则需要用不定式的被动形式。例如：I'm going to Beijing next week.

19、st).There are still many difficulties to overcome (to be overcome). 但有时候用主动和被动可分别表示不同的意思：不定式用主动式作定语，重点在人，用被动形式作定语，重点在物。试比较:There is nothing to do now. (We have nothing to do.) There is nothing to be done now. (We can do nothing now.) There is nothing to see. (nothing that is worth seeing)There is no
