语态
(voice)是个语法范畴
,它是表示主语和谓语动词之间的主动或被动关系的动形式
英语动词有两种语态
主动态
(active voice)
和被动态
(passive voice)
当主语是施动者时,随后的动词用主动态
当主语是受动者时
随后的动词便用被动态。英语动词的主动态是没有语法标记的,而被动态则是有标记的,通常是由助动词
be
的一定形式加及物动词的
-ed
分词构成。

the
Yankees. 道奇队打败了洋基队。

由主动态动词词组作谓语动词的句子叫做主动句
(active sentence);而以被动态动词词组作谓语动词的旬子便叫做被动句
(passive sentence)
,
如以上[2][4]
两例
主动态和被动态属于词法,而主动句和被动旬则属于句法。被动态动词词组也可有不同的时、体形式。
一般现在时
The boy
is
regarded
as
brilliant. 这个男孩被认为很聪明。
一般过去时
This book
was published
in
1998. 这本书出版于1998年。
现在进行体

现在完成体

up. 汽车已经调好了。

被动态动词还可有非限定形式,仍以主动词 play为例,它的不定式被动态的一般形式是
(to)
be played,
其完成体形式则是
(to)
have
been
played;
playing
分词被动态的一般形式是
being
played, 其完成体形式则是
having
been
played 用在情态助动词和半助动词(如
be
going
to,
is
to,
have
to
等)之后的不定式被动态
(passive infinitive)
既可以是一般形式,也可以是完成体形式。

被动态还可由

that he didn't commit.

的一定形式。

It
wasn't
broken. It
didn't
get
broken.

get-
型被动态和
be-
型被动态在基本语义上无甚区别

词组动词的被动语态
如前所述,词组动词有三种基本形式,即“动词+介词”、“动词+副词小品词”、“动词+副词小品词+介词“,当它们用作及物动词时,一般都可以变为被动态
这时,词组动词应视为一个单词及物动词,其后的介词或副词小品词不可略去。
a)
动词+介词,如
look
after, look
into,
talk about。
The
children
are
well
looked after. 孩子们受到很好的照顾。
This matter
is
being looked
into.这件事正在调查中。
Other possibilities
were talked
about
at the
meeting. 其他可能性的讨论也上了会议。
b)
动词+副词小品词,如
set
up , put
off,
bring
about。
When
was
the hospital
set
up?医院是什么时候建的?
The sports meet is to
be
put
off.运动会要推迟。
A new outburst
of
revolutionary enthusiasm
will
soon
be
brought
about. 革命热情的新爆发即将到来。
c)
动词+副词小品词+介词,如
do
away
with,
face up
to,
put
up
with。
That sort
of
thing should
be
done
away with. 这种事应该处理掉。
There's no running away from the facts;
they just
have to
be
faced
up
to. 不能逃避事实,事实必须得到正视。
Such a state
of
things cannot
be
put
up
with. 这种状况是无法忍受的。
除上述三种词组动词外
,还有一种由“动词+名词+介词“构成的词组动词,如
take
care
of,
make a mess
of,
pay attention
to
这类词组动词由主动态转换为被动态时通常有两种形式,一种形式是把整个词组动词当做一个及物动词处理。
We took great care of
his books. 我们妥善保管了他的书。
His books were taken great
care of. 他的书被妥善保管。
第二种形式是把词组动词看作“动词+宾语+介词词组”结构处理。
He took great care of
his books. 他非常爱护他的书。
Great care was taken
of
his books. 他的书很小心。
注意
:采用第二种形式时要把整个介词词组放到被动态动词的后面去。
They
had
made
a
mess
of
the house.
(主动句)
The house
had
been
made
a
mess
of
(被动句,第一种形式)
A
mess
had
been
made
of
the house.
(被动句,第二种形式)
4)

-ing
