使用被动语态应受哪些限制
英语和汉语一样,其动作都有主动和被动之分,汉语中不是所有的动词都可采用被动结构;同样道理,英语中也有不少动词不能用于被动结构,即被动语态。英语中,除不及物动词---即后面不能加宾语的动词不能用于被动语态外,还有下列情况不能使用被动语态的结构:
一、表示静态、容纳、适合等的及物 动词。例如:
She has a nice car.
The woolen coat fits her well.
二、宾语是动词不定式、动 名词。例如:
They promised me to go with me.
Mr.Smith wanted to have a try.
I enjoy listening to pop m usic.
三、宾语是反身代词。例如:
She hurt herself this morning.
They warned themselves to be careful.
四、宾语是人身上的一部分或器官。例如:
He put his hand on his chest and began to cough.
