35、中有两种语态：主动语态 (active voice) 和被动语态 (passive voice)。一般来说，主动语态表示主动意义，被动语态表示被动意义。然而，主动语态有时也可用来表示被动意义。不定式的主动语态表示被动意义往往用在SVC (adj. + inf.)句型，即 “主语+动词+主语补语”句型，其中的主语补语由 “形容词+不定式”构成。用于这一句型的形容词较常见的有easy, hard, difficult, good, comfortable, possible, impossible等。在这种情况下，不定式必须用主动语态表示被动意义，不可用被动语态。例如：Apples are goo

36、d to eat. *Apples are good to be eaten. （*表示此用法不可接受。下同。）The story is hard to believe (相信).*The story is hard to be believed.This shirt is easy to wash (洗).*This shirt is easy to be washed.Those explosives are dangerous to use.*Those explosives are dangerous to be used. 不定式主动语态表示被动意义不但可用于单词动词(single-

37、word verbs), 如上例，也可用于多词动词(multi-word verbs)。英语中的多词动词有以下几种类型：动词+介词，动词+副词小品词，动词+副词小品词+介词，动词+名词+介词等。例如：The chair is comfortable to sit in.*The chair is comfortable to be sat in.The sick baby was difficult to look after.*The sick baby was difficult to be looked after.The light is impossible to turn off.

38、*The light is impossible to be turned off.Money is difficult to save up.*Money is difficult to be saved up.He ran so fast and was hard to catch up with (赶上).*He ran so fast and was hard to be caught up with.The loud cry of that girl was hard to put up with.*The loud cry of that girl was hard to be p

39、ut up with.This dog is easy to take care of (照料).*This dog is easy to be taken care of.这里要提示学生注意的是：上面提及的SVC (adj. + inf.)句型只是同类句型的一种。从语义的角度看，这种句型可分为以下几种类型： (1) Mary is hard to get along with. (= It is hard to get along with Mary.) (2) Mary is kind to wait for me. (= It is kind of Mary to wait for me

40、.) (3) Mary is angry to hear the news. (= To hear the news has made Mary angry.) (4) Mary is quick to learn. (= Mary learns quickly.) 从上面四例可看出，尽管它们都属于SVC (adj. + inf.)句型，但它们的意义是完全不同的。也就是说，它们虽然表层结构相同，但深层结构不同。在这四种类型中，只有第(1)种的不定式是用主动语态来表示被动意义的。其他三种都不表示被动意义，因此不属于本单元讨论的范围。请提示学生不要混淆。 I have a lot of work to do.*I have a lot of work to be done.在上例中，因主语是施事者(agent)，因此不定式只可用主动语态。如果主语不是施事者，则主动或被动都可使用。例如：There is a lot of work to do / to be done.但请注意下面两句在意义
