以「動名詞」或「不定詞」表被動語態

以「動名詞」或「不定詞」表被動語態

下列動詞看似主動,但其實含有被動的意義:

1.be worth+V-ing(值得…)

2. +V-ing(需要…)

例:The book is worth reading.

=The book is worthy to be read.

=The book is worthy of being read.(這本書值得一讀。)

例:My car needs checking.

=My car needs to be checked.(我的車子需要檢查。)

用其他介系詞代替by

在被動語態中,表示行為者的介系詞,通常用by;

但有些動詞不用by而要用其他的介系詞(如to, in, at, with…)。

be
