动词的主动形式表被动意义的归纳小结
Much is to do. 太多要做的事。 在there be句型及with的复合结构中,可以用主动形式表被动意义。 例如: There is nothing to read. \ There is nothing to worry about. With so much work to do, Mary cannot but stay at home. There is nothing doing these days. 这些天没事干。 I see there’s a good idea planning. 我知道又在打好主意。 在“疑问词what/which/whom+不定式”结构中,有时以主动形式表被动意义。 例如:The question is which to choose.问题是挑选哪一个。 He will advise you what to do.他会建议你们做什么。 在“too...to...”结构中,用主动形式表示被动意思,此时不定式前面可以加逻辑主语。 例如: The box is too heavy (for me) to carry.这盒子太重了,搬不动。 The room is not enough (for us) to have a meeting in.这个房间不是大到足够能在里面开会。
