passives (被动句)
We are hoping that a concert will be held soon at which the works of Liszt will play. A B C D
(上海高考,96-Ⅵ-4)
我怎么看,也看不出这道辨错题错在何处。
由于汉语的被动句常常省略“被”字(如“这个问题容易解决”),所以我们中国学生有时会在英语里该用被动句的地方用上主动句。在做题和作文时要牢牢记住:主语是动作的执行者(施动者)时,用主动句;主语是动作的承受者(受动者)时,用被动句。在上面的试题里,the works of Liszt(李斯特的作品)是 play(演奏)这个动作的承受者,因此,必须用被动句(应将 will play 改为 will be played)。
其次,要熟练掌握被动句的主要时态(注意:被动句的时态是靠 be 本身的时态来表达的,因为过去分词是个不变的词):
一般现在时:am/is/are done 过去进行时:was/were being done
一般过去时:was/were done 现在完成时:has/have been done
一般将来时:will be done 过去完成时:had been done
现在进行时:am/is/are being done 将来完成时:will have been done
