第十七单元 第三课
主动语态与被动语态的转换(中)
▶ 双宾语主动句的转换
含有双宾语的主动句在变为被动语态时，有以下四种情况:
▪ 有些双宾语动词在变为被动语态时，既可把间接宾语(指人)变为被动语
态的主语，而把直接宾语(指事物)保留下来，称为保留宾语( Retained
Object)；也可把直接宾语变为被动语态的主语，而把间接宾语改为介词
to或for引起的状语(用to还是for，与所搭配的动词有关)。
• He gave her some books.
→ She was given some books.
→ Some books were given to her. 他给她一些书。
• He bought her a watch.
→She was bought a watch.
→A watch was bought for her. 他给她买了一块表。
间接宾语前带介词to的有：bring，fetch，give，hand，leave，lend，offer，
owe，
pass，pay，post，promise，read，sell，send，show，take，teach，tell，throw，
write等;
带介词for的有：book，buy，call，choose，cook，do，fetch，find，get，keep，
leave，save，make，sing等。
▪ 带有双宾语的主动句，转换为被动语态时，通常只把表示人的宾语作主
语。
• She asked me some questions.
→ I was asked some questions (by her).我被(她)问了一些问题。
• They denied me the chance of going to university.
他们剥夺了我上大学的机会。
→ I was denied the chance of going to university.
我被剥夺了上大学的机会。
带双宾语的动词有：ask，answer，charge，deny，envy，fine，refuse，save，
spare等。
▪ 主动句中的其中一个宾语为介词后的名词或代词
• 介词of后为直接宾语，转换时，通常以间接宾语作主语。
• They accused Tony of cheating on the exam.他们指责托尼考试作
弊。
→Tony was accused of cheating on the exam.托尼被指责考试作
弊。
• The police suspected him of giving false information.
警方怀疑他提供假情报。
→He was suspected of giving false information by the police.
他受到警方怀疑，怀疑他提供假情报。
• 介词of后为间接宾语，转换时，通常以直接宾语作主语。
• American teachers expect participation in the classroom of the
student in many courses.
在许多课程中，美国教师期望学生参与课堂活动。
→Participation in the classroom is expected of the student in many
courses.
在许多课程中，期望学生参与课堂活动。
• They asked favor of me.他们请我帮个忙。
→ A favor was asked of me.有人请我帮个忙。
注：与of搭配的这类动词有: accuse，assure，clear，convince，cure，demand，
ease，expect，inform，relieve，require，rid，rob，strip（剥去), suspect，tell，
warm等。
▪ 直接宾语为that引导的从句，转换时通常以间接宾语作被动句的主语。
• The whistle warned visitors that the ship was ready to sail.
→Visitors were warned (by the whistle) that the ship was ready to sail.
汽笛通知旅客船即将起航。
• I can assure you that this information is absolutely reliable.
我可以保证这信息绝对可靠。
→ You can be assured that this information is absolutely reliable.
你可以放心，这信息绝对可靠。
▶ 复合宾语主动句的转换
将含有复合宾语的主动句变为被动语态时，应将宾语变为被动结构的主语，而
宾
语的补足语则留在原处成为主语补足语。
• He painted the door red yesterday.他昨天把门漆成红色。
→ The door was painted red yesterday.昨天门被漆成红色了。
• We refer to this kind of machine as computer.我们把这种机器称为计算
机。
→ This kind of machine is referred to as computer.这种机器被称为计算
机。
• The next morning people found the little girl lying in the corner dead.
翌日早晨人们发现那个小女孩躺在街角——死了。
→ The next morning the little girl was found lying in the corner dead.
翌日早晨有人发现那个小女孩躺在街角——死了。
注：使役动词make，have等，以及感官动词see，watch，observe，feel，hear，
listen to，look at等，在主动语态中，接不定式作宾语补足语时，不定式前的to
要省略;而变为被动语态时，成为主语补足语的不定式，则必须带to。
• I saw him go into the general manager’s office.
我看见他走进了总经理办公室。
→He was seen to go into the general manager’s office.
有人看见他走进了总经理办公室。
注：作let宾语补足语的动词不定式，变为主语补足语时，动词不定式符号to可
以省略，但只限于单音节词。
• They let the man go.他们把那男子放了。
→ The man was let go.有人把那男子放了。
