不定式的主動和被動
1. 不定式修飾的名詞或代詞和不定式邏輯上構(gòu)成主謂關(guān)系時,不定式往往用主動形式。如:
Do you have a knife to cut the watermelon?( A knife cuts the watermelon.)
2. 不定式和它前面所修飾的名詞后代詞構(gòu)成邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系,又和該句主語構(gòu)成邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系時,不定式常用主動式。如:
She has a sister to look after.(She looks after her sister)
3. 不定式作表語形容詞的狀語,和句子主語構(gòu)成邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系時,不定式多用主動形式,這是因為人們往往認為形容詞后省去了for sb.。如:
This book is difficult to understand.
This kind of fish is nice to eat.
4. 在there be 結(jié)構(gòu)中,當說話人考慮的是必須有人去完成某件事時,不定式用主動形式;如果說話人強調(diào)的事情本身必須被完成,則用被動形式。如:
There is a lot of work to do. (Someone has to do the work.)
There is a lot of work to be done. ( The work has to be done.)
