2013年英语六级语法讲解大全（2）

        动词的语态

        1. 概念与构成

        当句子的主语是动作的执行者时，谓语的形式用主动语态；当句子的主语是动作的承受者时，谓语要用被动语态。被动语态由“助动词be + 过去分词”构成，时态通过be 表现出来。如下表所示：

　　2. 一些特殊的被动语态

　　1) 短语动词的被动结构：用于这类被动结构的短语动词要作为整体看待，即要把它们看作单个及物动词。例如：

　　The baby is looked after carefully.

　　2) 有些动词形式上是主动结构，但表示被动的意思：

　　① 具有及物意义的不及物动词的被动意义：在主语是物的句子中，有些动词的主动形式可以表示被动意义。常用的这类动词有sell, read, feel, write, wear, wash, open, clean, cook, keep, cut, fill, blow, measure, lock, run, record, begin, shut等等。例如：

　　The book sells well. 这本书很畅销。

　　Your composition reads well. 你的作文读起来很不错。

　　This pen writes smoothly. 这支钢笔好用。

　　② 动名词主动形式表示被动意义：通常是物作want, need, require等动词的主语时，表示事物客观上需要……，用动名词一般式的主动形式作宾语表示被动意义。例如：

　　The classroom wants / needs / requires cleaning. 教室需要打扫。

　　这种用法的动名词改用不定式一般式的被动形式后也可表示同样意义。例如：

　　The classroom wants to be cleaned.
