Question

請問

這座橋允許被通過可以用

The bridge is allowed to pass 來表示嗎

還是要用被動語態

The bridge is allowed to be passed

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

The bridge is allowed to pass. (bad)

The bridge is allowed to be passed. (bad)

兩句都很彆扭, 因為橋是無生命的事物, 不是被允許的對象;

是要過橋的人事物被允許.

較適當的說法是:

People are allowed to pass the bridge.

To pass the bridge is allowed.

如果是修飾事物的形容詞, 則可適用您的句型, 例如:

The bridge is strong enough to pass.

此話的語意重點不在於橋被通過, 而是(某人事物)過橋的主動動作, 例如:

The bridge is strong enough (for your car) to pass.

所以用to pass, 而不是to be passed.

另例:

The dessert is good to eat.

<--- 某人吃點心的主動動作, 所以不用to be eaten.

The chess game is interesting to play.

<--- 人們下棋的主動動作, 所以不用to be played.

Answer 2

Traffic is allowed on the bridge.

Answer 3

Passing the bridge is allowed:)))

會提這個問題是因為 allow someone/something to do something

被動表達的話應該為 someone/something is allowed to do something

The bridge is allowed to pass 橋好像不會自己pass

改為被動又很奇怪,才會有此一問

我倒覺得英文的被動表達還蠻多的,

Answer 4

當主被動很明顯時 人類語言會以主動來代替被動

例:

中語:烤肉(被)看起來很好(被)吃

英語:it looks good to eat.

中語,英語,狗語,喵語都是一樣!

不知道 詹姆士 在學中語時 是不是 也有提出同樣的問題?

2014-02-08 06:24:24 補充：

在中語裡不也是一樣嗎?

這橋已經(被)允通(被)過了!

兩個被字 尤其是第二個 不是都是(被)省略嗎?
