A1: 首先 determined 與 is determined不是主動與被動的差別.

第一句的 determined 在此是主動沒錯, 意思是 "決定 (decide)" 但是在此是過去式的用法 (-ed). 此句 "He determined to learn Spanish." 意思是 "他已決定學西班牙語".

第二句 He is determined to learn Spanish. 裡面的 "determined" 則是當作形容詞 , 意思是 "堅決的". 全句翻譯成 "他堅決要學英文." 而且是現在簡單式的表達方式.

A2: 要知道 determine 與 determined的區別, 首先你得了解, 這兩個字的區別不是主動和被動. 而是動詞語形容詞.

- determine 動詞, 用法就是 + to V. 現在式用determine, 過去式用determined. 想簡單一點, 你可把它當成另一個簡單的字 "decide", 例如:

1. I decide to go to Taipei. = I determine to go to Taipei.

(現在簡單式用法, 我決定去台北)

2. I decided to go to Taiepie. = I determined to go to Taipei.

(過去式用法, 我已決定去台北)

- determined 也可以形容詞. 它剛好跟過去式的determined長的一樣而已. 用法前面別忘了 be 動詞, 如:

1. I am determined to go to Taipei.

(現在簡單式用法, 我堅決要去台北)

2. I was determined to go to Taipei.

(過去式用法, 我那時候堅決要去台北.)

以上.

Answer 2

第一句口語不常用

要說就應該把 determined 換成 decided 或其他慣用詞

Answer 3

是嗎?

我怎麼覺得

第一句是"他決定要學西班牙文"

第二句是"他被決定要學西班牙文"?

上面是我猜得......

Answer 4

He determined to learn Spanish.是他決定要學....

但加了is

He is determined to learn Spanish.

就有加強語言的意思

雖然意思是一樣的

就像

"我下定決心要減肥!"

和

"我已經下定決心要減肥!"

第2句給人的感覺就較強烈.
