英语主动语态和被动语态的转换解析
1. 步骤
主动语态和被动语态可以相互转换,通常有以下三个步骤来完成:
(1)宾语变主语(即将主动语态的宾语变为被动语态的主语)
(2)变动词(即将主动语态的动词随时态变成相应的被动语态的动词形式)
(3)加by短语(即将主动语态的主语放于by的后面,主格变宾格,有时不必指出可以省去)
★【被动语态常用介词】by表示动作的执行者或施动力, with表示用某种工具,of 表示有种原料制成(制成品可辨原料),from表示源于某种物质(制成品不可辨原料)
They speak English every day. /English is spoken by them every day. 他们每天都说英语。
2. 方式
(1)单宾语的动词:将宾语变为主语,谓语动词变为被动语态的形式。
Many people speak English.→English is spoken by many people. 很多人都说英语。
(2)双宾语的动词:一般一个指人(间接宾语),一个指物(直接宾语),变为被动语态时,通常将指人的间接宾语变为被动语态的主语,另一个保留不变;有时也可将指物的直接宾语变为被动语态句子的主语,指人的间接宾语前要加to/for.

(3)宾语和宾语补足语的动词:变为被动语态只将主动结构中的宾语变为被动语态中的主语即可,补语的位置不变。应注意的是:变为被动语态时须加上动词不定式to.常用于使役动词(make /let /have + sbdo →sbbe made/ let/ had + to do)和感官动词(hear /see /watch/feel + sb do→sb be heard/ seen/ felt + to do)中。
He made the boy work all day. →The boy was made to work all day.

I saw them come into the room. →They were see n to come into the room by me. 我看到他们进房间了。
(4)介词或者副词的短语动词:变为被动语态时,要注意保证这一短语动词的完整性。
The street lights are usually turned on at 6:30.
路灯通常在6:30打开。
The children are well looked after.
孩子被照顾的很好。
(5)含有宾语从句的句子:变为被动语态时,通常用it作形式主语,宾语从句变为主语从句。即:people+v+that从句→it +be+vted+that从句→sb/sth+be +vted+to do/have done.
He is said to be very rich.→It is said that he is very rich.
据说他很富裕。
(6)祈使句的被动语态
主动句: 动词+宾语
被动句: Let +原宾语+be (原形) +过去分词
否定被动句:Don’t +let 原宾语 +be (原形) +过去分词
Move the car over.→ Let the car be moved over.→ Don’t let the car be moved over.
