英語(yǔ)四級(jí)語(yǔ)態(tài)的隱含意義
語(yǔ)態(tài)的隱含意義
一般來(lái)說(shuō)，人們寫作時(shí)只是出于文體或上下文一致的原因，才使用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。及物動(dòng)詞既可能是主動(dòng)的，又可能是被動(dòng)的。如果是主語(yǔ)發(fā)出的動(dòng)作，謂語(yǔ)應(yīng)用主語(yǔ)語(yǔ)態(tài);反之，如果主語(yǔ)是動(dòng)作施加的對(duì)象，謂語(yǔ)則應(yīng)用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。但事實(shí)上，人們更偏愛(ài)主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，因?yàn)樗@得突出而直截了當(dāng)。若謂語(yǔ)采用較弱的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，行為者往往被隱去大名，或顯得好像并不重要。然而，當(dāng)不知道行為者是誰(shuí)，或者作者想把重點(diǎn)放到動(dòng)作承受方而不是動(dòng)作方時(shí)，動(dòng)作本身比采取動(dòng)作的人更重要，這時(shí)就有必要用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)了。
