语法指导：无被动语态的及物动词

??众所周知，英语的被动语态是由be＋及物动词的过去分词构成。有人认为似乎所有的及物动词都可转换成相应的被动语。其实不然，至少在某种意义上，有些及物动词不能用于被动语态。
 
??
一、当句子的谓语是表示“拥有”、“容纳”、“缺少”概念的及物动词时。例如： 
??1．The millionaire possesses great wealth．这位百万富翁拥有大量的财富。 
??不能说：Great wealth is possessed by the millionaire． 
??2．The newly-constructed reservoir holds a lot of water．新水库蓄水量很大。 
??不能说：A lot of water is held by the newly-constructed reser-voir． 
??3．The house comprises five rooms．这幢房子有五个房间。 
??不能说：Five rooms are comprised by the house． 
??4，John Smith always lacks confidence．约翰·史密斯总是缺乏自信心。 
??不能说：Confidence is always lacked by John Smith． 
 
??二、当句子的谓语是表示“适合”的及物动词，如suit，become，fit等时，没有相应的被动语态。 
??1．The blue skirt becomes Mary very well．这条蓝裙子玛丽穿上去很合适。 
??不能说：Mary is become very well by the blue skirt． 
??2．Will the date suit you？这个日子对你合适吗？ 
??不能说：Will you be suited by the date？ 
??3．We should fit our deeds to our words．我们应该言行一致。 
??不能说：Our deeds should be fitted to our words by us． 
 
??三、当句子的谓语是表示“相互作用”的及物动词，如：equal，mean，resemble等时。 
??1．No one equals him in intelligence．他的智力是无与伦比的。 
??不能说：He is equaled by no one in intelligence． 
??2．Revolution means liberating productive force．革命就是解放生产力。 
??不能说：Liberating productive force is meant by revolution． 
??3．The two boys resemble each other in appearance．这两个男孩长得相似。 
??不能说：Each other is resembled by the two boys in appearance． 
 
??四、当句子的谓语是表示“明白”意义的及物动词，如：get，catch，take时，也没有相应的被动语态。 
??1．The boy said，“I didn’t catch the last two words．”这个男孩说：“我没听清楚最后两个词。” 
??不能说：The boy said，“The last two words weren’t caught by me．” 
??2．I don’t take you at all．你说的我一点也不懂。 
??不能说：You aren’t taken by me at all． 
 
??五、动词have作“有、接受、度过、吃、经历”解时，没有被动语态。 
??1．I have five good dictionaries．我有五本好词典。 
??不能说：Five good dictionaries are had by me． 
??2．I had three letters from Mr．Green．我收到过格林先生三封信。 
??不能说：Three letters were had by me from Mr．Green． 
??3．We shall have a good Spring Festival．我们将过一个愉快的春节。
