知識拓展:
對于英語來說接不定式的單詞多為“打算”“計劃”“希望”“將要做某事”等表示未來(未做的事)的動詞。同樣與不定式表示不同,現(xiàn)在分詞表示正在進行,一般性或經(jīng)常性發(fā)生的行為。
定義:
(語態(tài))動詞和參與此動作的主語之間關系的一個術語。當主語是動作的'發(fā)起者(或之一)時,稱為主動語態(tài);
如果動詞不定式的邏輯主語是這個不定式所表示的動作的承受者,不定式一般要用被動語態(tài)形式。如:
It's a great honour to be invited to Mary's birthday party.(不定式作主語是被動語態(tài)to be invited是被邀請)
It was impossible for lost time to be made up.(不定式作主語)
I wish to be sent to work in the country.(不定式作賓語)
Can you tell me which is the car to be repaired?(不定式作定語)
My work is to clean the room every day.(不定式作表語)
在There be結構中,修飾主語的不定式可用被動,也可用主動。如:There are still many things to take care of (to be taken care of).但有時兩種形式表達的意思不同,如:There is nothing to do now.( We have nothing to do now.) There is nothing to be done now.(We can do nothing now.)
