雅思寫作被動語態(tài)的使用

在新聞、商務(wù)、法律等英語文體中,被動語態(tài)因為其更突出客觀性的賓語或者事實被廣為使用。雅思寫作中的小作文圖表題和大作文議論文都是比較正式的文體,所以我們也應(yīng)該注意多用被動語態(tài)的使用,以贏得更高的分數(shù)。尤其是在主語是泛指很多人或者大部分人這個方面,比如:
To broaden vocabulary, we should read more native materials.
可以更換為:To broaden vocabulary, more native materials should be read.
Most people think that we should read more native materials to broaden vocabulary.
可以更換為:It is widely believed that we should read more native materials to broaden vocabulary.
被動語態(tài)在從句、非謂語動詞短語中都有可能用到,比如:
It is important for nations all over the world to work hard together to control the environment pollution.
可以更換為:It is important for nations all over the world to work hard together to control the environment pollution.
I am not sure whether all the college graduates can find jobs after graduation.
可以更換為:
I am not sure whether the college graduates can get employed after graduation.
被動語態(tài)是中文英文的一個顯著區(qū)別,中文中本來是沒有被動語態(tài)的,所以受漢化思維的影響很多考生不會想到這一點。這就要求我們對此要引起足夠的重視,并且在平時寫作文的時候多加練習(xí)以培養(yǎng)對被動語態(tài)的敏感度,以達到語法的本土性目的,在雅思寫作中取得較高成績。
