主动语态变被动语态的易错点

 ■含有双宾语的主动句变被动句时,可分别将其中的一个宾语变为主语,另一个不动,但变间接宾语为主语的情况较多。

主动:Tom gave me a present on my birthday. 我生日那天汤姆送我一件礼物。

被动:I was given a present by Tom on my birthday.

A present was given to me yesterday.

注意:如果把直接宾语(指物)改为主语,则在间接宾语(指人)前加适当的介词。

1. 在下列动词后,通常在间接宾语前用介词to:bring, give, hand, lend, offer, pass, sell, show, take,通tell等。

2. 在下列动词后,一般在间接宾语前用介词for:build, buy, cook, cut, choose, do, fetch, find, fix, get, keep, make, order, paint, play, sing等。

主动:Mother made me a new skirt. 母亲给我做了件衬衣。

被动:A new skirt was made for me.

3. 由于某些动词与介词有习惯搭配,既不用to也不用for, 而用别的介词。如:

People all over the world know the Great Wall. 世界上的人都知道长城。

The Great Wall is known to people all over the world. (不用by短语)

4. 有时用间接宾语作主语讲不通或不习惯,必须用直接宾语作主语。如:

Tom wrote me a letter.

误:I was written a letter by Tom.

正:A letter was written to me by Tom.

类似的动词还有:return, send, pass, hand, sell, teach等。

■含复合宾语(宾语+宾补)的主动句改为被动句时,一般把主动句中的宾语改为主语,而宾语补足语保留在谓语动词后面成为主语补足语。如:

We always keep the classroom clean. 我们总是保持教室清洁。

The classroom is always kept clean. 教室总是保持清洁的。

They asked me to help them. 他们叫我帮助他们。

I was asked to help them. 我被他们叫去帮忙了。

We saw them playing football. 我们看到他们在踢足球。

They were seen playing football. 他们被人看见在踢足球。

注意:

1. 在see, watch, hear, notice, listen to, look at, make, feel等动词后作宾语补足语的动词不定式都不带to,但改成被动语态后要加上to。

We often hear her sing. 我们经常听到她唱歌。

She is often heard to sing. 经常有人听到她唱歌。

2. 如果宾语补足语是名词,变被动句时,不要误把宾语补足语的名词作主语。如:

We called him an ass. 我们叫他傻瓜。

误:As ass was called him.

正:He was called an ass.

■短语动词的被动语态

1. “动词+介词/副词”构成的短语动词,变成被动语态时,要把它们作为整体看待,介词或副词不可拆开或漏掉。如:

The patient is being operated on. 病人正在动手术。

His request was turned down. 他的要求遭到拒绝。

注:这类短语动词常见的还有agree to, ask for, laugh at, listen to, look after, think of, talk about, call on等。常用的由“及物动词+副词”构成的短语动词有bring about, carry out, find out, give up, hand in, make out, pass on, point out, put away, put on, put off, take off, think over, work out, turn out, sell out, use up look up (查询) (www.hxen.com)等。
