英语中的主语是物,通常习惯性使用“被动”来表达,当人处于某种“身不由已”的状态时,也使用被动。但是汉语中:人、物在大多数时候都是用主动来表达,所以在翻译时即便英语是“被动”,我都也常常使用主动来翻译。

主动语态(Who) | 被动语态(What) | 说明 |
---|---|---|
He will repair your watch. | Your watch will be repaired (by him). | by him 用于强调“被谁” |
They must test this new car. | This new car must be tested. | 主动语态强调的是动作发出者(主语),被动语态强调的是事情,所以常常忽略了主语。 |
I can' t find my bag. Someone has stolen it. | my bag has been stolen. | 强调事是被谁做了。 |
注:英语中没有单独去解释“主动语态”,是因为除了“被动语态”其它的都是主动语态。
doing 修饰名词通过表示主动的(作定语、非谓语动词) | done 修饰名词通常表示被动的(作定语) |
---|---|

|
(英文中有一个“理让弱小”原因,短的在前,长的在后。一个doing的词放前面去修饰,一个长doing词组就要放到后面去修饰)
