双重被动句 句型[主语+被动式谓语+被动不定式+其他] 1. The date is expected to be announced soon. 2. The gate was ordered to be closed at nine oclock. 3. The books are not allowed to be taken out of the room. 4. These arms are supposed to have been used by partisans during the anti-Japanese war. 5. The task is reported to have been completed yesterday. 6. The instruments are supposed to be used only by skilled workers. [注] H. W. Fowler 说过，双重被动式，从文体学观点来看是应该尽量避免，因为从表面看来容易为类似的假象所混淆。如：(错) The house was begun to be built. 不是房子开始而是房子的建造开始。下列动词不适宜于本句型：attempt, decide, promise, seek, begin, hope, intend, propose, purpose, threaten等。 不可说：The work was attempted to be done quickly. 应当说：An attempt was made to do the work quickly. 不可说：He has been decided to be helped. 应当说：It has been decided to help him. It has been decided that he should be helped. [附注]主动语态与被动语态互相转换时应注意的几点事项。 1) 基本转换公式：省略。 2) 转换时一般不得变更动词的时态。另下列各时式不能用于被动句中。 |
