核心问题
The planet Venus has been said the Earth's twin because it is similar in size and mass. (TOEFL)
我看不出这个句子有什么错误。
词典解答
应记住: be said 之后要跟一个带 to 的动词不定式。例如：
-
An egg is said to be the equivalent of a pound of meat. (RCD) 据说一个鸡蛋相当于一磅肉。
-
The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a ‘ cursed tree’. (New Concept English, Book 2,
L.58）据说弗林利小村里有一棵“被诅咒”的树。
还应注意, be said to do 没有与之相对应的主动结构。He is said to be 不能说 They said him to be。
