那里的人缺乏食物。 正:People there lack food. 误:Food is lacked by people there. 从形式上看,第2句是第1句的相应的被动形式,既然第1句为正句,那么第2句从理论上说应该是成立的。而事实上第2句却是个错句。 在英语中,并不是所有的及物动词都可以用于被动语态的,有些动词(尤其是那些静态动词)尽管它们可以带宾语,但却不用于被动语态,这种动词考生容易弄错,其中主要的有:have,lack,fit,suit,cost,let,like等: 他有一台电脑。 正:He has a computer. 误:A computer is had by him. 他当时正在洗澡。 正:He was taking a bath. 误:A bath was being had by him. 我的鞋不适合。 正:My shoes don’t fit me. 误:I am not fitted by my shoes. 这架钢琴花了她6000美元。 正:The piano cost her 6000 dollars. 误:She was cost her 6000 dollars. 误:6000 dollars was cost her. 这件衣服他穿很合适。 正:The coat suits him very well. 误:He is well suited by the coat.
