牛津?qū)嵱糜⒄Z語法:306 被動態(tài)動詞后的不定式結(jié)構(gòu)
A 不定式結(jié)構(gòu)用在acknowledge,assume,believe,claim,consider,estimate,feel,find,know,presume,report,say,think,under- stand等動詞之后。
People consider/know/think等that he is這類句子有兩種被動形式:
It is considered/known/thought etc.that he is
He is considered/known/thought etc.to be
同樣:
People said that he was jealous of her.
人們說他妒忌她。相當于:
It was said that he was
He was said to be jealous of her.
據(jù)說他妒忌她。
在這兩種結(jié)構(gòu)中,用不定式的后一結(jié)構(gòu)比較簡潔。它主要用于be,盡管有時其他動詞的不定式也可以這樣用:
He is thought to have information which will be useful to the police.
人們認為他掌握了對警察有用的情況。
如句中所想到的內(nèi)容涉及到以前的動作,則使用不定式的完成式,因此:
People believed that he was相當于:
It was believed that he was/He was believed to have been
People know that he was相當于:
It is known that he was/He is known to have been
這種結(jié)構(gòu)可與任何動詞的不定式的完成式連用。
B 不定式結(jié)構(gòu)用在suppose后
1 suppose的被動態(tài)之后可以接任何動詞的不定式的一般式,但這種結(jié)構(gòu)通常都含有這是一種責任、義務的意思,因此并不是同suppose的主動態(tài)(常意為推測)完全對應的形式:
You are supposed to know how to drive.
你本該會開車。相當于:
It is your duty to know/You should know how to drive.
會開車是你的責任。/你該知道怎么開車。
但He is supposed to be in Paris既可能意思是他應該在那里,也可能是指人們猜想他在那里。
2 suppose的被動態(tài)后面同樣可以跟任何動詞的不定式的完成式。這種結(jié)構(gòu)可以有責任和義務的含義,但也常常沒有這種含義:
You are supposed to have finished.相當于:
You should have finished.
你早就應該完成了。
但是:
He is supposed to have escaped disguised as a woman.相當于:
People suppose that he escaped
據(jù)猜測他是喬裝打扮成女人逃跑的。
C 用在被動態(tài)動詞后面的不定式通常是帶to的不定式,盡管主動態(tài)動詞后面可能帶的是不帶to的不定式:
主動態(tài): We saw them go out.
我們看見他們出去了。
被動態(tài): They were seen to go out.
有人看見他們出去了。
主動態(tài): He made us work.
他強迫我們干活。
被動態(tài): We were made to work.
我們被迫干活。
然而,惟獨let的被動態(tài)后面的不定式不帶to:
主動態(tài): They let us go.
他們讓我們走了。
被動態(tài): We were let go.
我們被允許走開。
D 不定式的進行式可用于如下動詞的被動式之后:believe, know,report,say,suppose,think,understand等。
He is believed/known/said/supposed/thought to be living abroad.相當于:
People believe/know/say/suppose/think that he is living abroad.
據(jù)信/據(jù)知/據(jù)說/據(jù)猜測/據(jù)認為他住在國外。
You are supposed to be working.相當于:
You should be working.
你本應在工作。
在這里也可用不定式的完成進行式:
He is believed to have been waiting for a message.相當于:
People believed that he was waiting for a message.
據(jù)信他當時一直在等待消息。
You are supposed to have been working.相當于:
You should have been working.
你那時本該一直在工作。
A 不定式結(jié)構(gòu)用在acknowledge,assume,believe,claim,consider,estimate,feel,find,know,presume,report,say,think,under- stand等動詞之后。
