通常不用于被动语态的静态动词
那里的人缺乏食物。
正:People there lack food.
误:Food is lacked by people there.
从形式上看,第2句是第1句的相应的被动形式,既然第1句为正句,那么第2句从理论上说应该是成立的。而事实上第2句却是个错句。
在英语中,并不是所有的及物动词都可以用于被动语态的,有些动词(尤其是那些静态动词)尽管它们可以带宾语,但却不用于被动语态,这种动词考生容易弄错,其中主要的有:have,lack,fit,suit,cost,let,like等:
他有一台电脑。
正:He has a computer.
误:A computer is had by him.
他当时正在洗澡。
正:He was taking a bath.
误:A bath was being had by him.
我的鞋不适合。
正:My shoes don’t fit me.
误:I am not fitted by my shoes.
