2017年6月英语四级作文高分技巧:会用被动语态
2017年6月英语四级作文高分技巧汇总
语态的隐含意义
一般来说,人们写作时只是出于文体或上下文一致的原因,才使用被动语态。及物动词既可能是主动的,又可能是被动的。如果是主语发出的动作,谓语应用主语语态;反之,如果主语是动作施加的对象,谓语则应用被动语态。但事实上,人们更偏爱主动语态,因为它显得突出而直截了当。若谓语采用较弱的被动语态,行为者往往被隐去大名,或显得好像并不重要。然而,当不知道行为者是谁,或者作者想把重点放到动作承受方而不是动作方时,动作本身比采取动作的人更重要,这时就有必要用被动语态了。

Weak Passive: This project has been benefited from many outstanding contributors who have worked with exceptional care and devotion.
Strong Active: This project has the benefit of many outstanding contributors who have worked with exceptional care and devotion.
特殊情况: 如果动作的承受方比动作的实施者更为重要,则采用被动语态则更为有力。(目的在于强调行为的承受者或忽略动作的实施者)
Good Passive: All the buildings were destroyed during the bombing
(强调动作的承受者)
Good Passive:I resent being spoken to so rudely.
(说话者对此行为十分反感,并不针对某个人)
Good Passive:Any person who attempts to escape will be shot.
(旨在强调)

Good Passive:Much has been written and much has been said, but nothing has been done.
(虽然未出现动作的发出者,但被动语态更可取)

(斜体字部分的被动语气用作形容词,可与"dead"保持平行)
