  2016年翻译考试中级笔译备考:被动语态的使用(一)

  1.主动语态变被动语态的方法

  主动语态变被动语态要遵循以下的规律:“主(语)变宾(语),宾(语)变主(语),动词变‘be + done’,其余部分带下来。”

  *done代表各种动词的过去分词。

  e.g.: The student broke the window yesterday.

  The window was broken by the student yesterday.

  主语 动词(be done形式) 宾语 其余部分

  I am carrying a box into the room. 我正在把一个箱子搬进房间。

  The box is being carried by I (me) into the room. 一个箱子正在被我搬进房间。

  (主语I变成by形式,宾语a box变成主语放在句首,动词am carrying 变成is being carried形式,而其他部分into the room带到下句,一般将by结构省略。)

  2.几种特殊句型的被动语态

  ①含有双宾语句子的被动语态。

  e.g.: I gave him a pen.

  主语 动词 间接宾语 直接宾语

  本句有两种变法,既可以将间接宾语变成主语(a),有可以把直接宾语变成主语(b)。

  a. You were given a pen. b. A pen was given to you.

  注意将直接宾语变成主语,要用to来连接动词和间接宾语(宾格形式),切不可省略。

  ②含有复合宾语句子的被动语态。

  e.g.: We elected him our president.

  主语 动词 宾语 宾语补足语

  按照变化规律本句应变化为:

  He was elected our president by we (us).

  但是有些情况(如下),要用to来连接宾语补足语和动词。

  I made the door open.

  The door was made to open.

  *注意:在本句中make是使役动词(包括感观动词),它后接不加to的不定式做宾语补足语,但是变成被动语态时要将to还原,不可省略。

  She saw me walking along the street.

  I was seen to being walked along the street

  ③含有情态动词句子的被动语态。

  e.g.: He need look after his mother in the hospital.

  按照变化规律本句应变化为:

  His mother need be looked after in the hospital.

  含有情态动词句子变被动语态的规律是:情态动词+be+动词原形。

  ④含有动词词组句子的被动语态。

  e.g.: He looked at the picture. 按照变化规律本句应变化为:

  The picture was looked at by he (him).

  注意:在过去分词looked后,切记不要忘记at这个介词,因为look at是完整的动词词组。

  ⑤含有宾语从句的被动语态。

  e.g.: I think that she is a nurse.

  如果按照变化规律变化本句的话,宾语是一个句子,而不是词。这时可以有以下两种变化方法:

  a. 将宾语从句中的主语看作宾语而进行变化,即:She is thought to be a nurse by I (me).

  b. 将宾语从句用it这个形式主语来代替而进行变化,即:It is thought that she is a nurse by I (me).
