中考英语语法完全突破——被动语态

陷阱3  将连系动词误用于被动语态

英语中有些连系动词（如look, sound, smell, feel, taste等），虽然它们从汉语看来需要用被动语态，但它们总是用主动表式表示被动意义，因为连系动词为不及物动词，它们没有被动语态形式。如：

那只狗看起来很危险。

误：That dog is looked dangerous.

正：That dog looks dangerous.

你的想法听起来很好。

误：Your idea is sounded a good one.

正：Your idea sounds a good one.

陷阱4  根据汉语意思误用被动语态

因为不及物动词没有宾语，所以若将其用于被动语态则没有主语，故不能用于被动语态。但是值得注意的是，有些英语中的不及物动词，译成汉语时却可能是“及物”的，很容易出错，这类动词如：take place(发生)，happen(发生)，come about(发生)，break out(爆发)，appear(出现)，disappear(消失)，last(持续)等。如

在最近10年我的家乡发生了巨大的变化。

误：Great changes have been taken place in my home town in the past ten years.

正：Great changes have taken place in my home town in the past ten years.

类似地，动词happen也有类似用法。如：

事故什么时候发生的?

误：When was the accident happened?

正：When did the accident happen?(www.hxen.net)
