对章振邦老师讲解的主动句和被动句的疑问

第一个疑问:

A watch was given to me. Some assistance was offered (to) him.

为什么第二个例句to可以省略?


第二个疑问:

A question  was asked (of) me.

我这么写对吗?


第三个疑问:The picture was painted by a friend of mine whom I‘d like you to meet sometime.这里whom作为meet的宾语。

(1)关系代词whom先行词是a friend还是mine?

(2)这个与新概念英语第二册第28课头一句:Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths.句型一样。我们怎么判断先行词是哪个呢?

回答你的第一个和第二个问题之前,先普及一下关于双宾语结构基本知识。

1 双宾语结构通常都可以改为单宾语+介词短语作状语结构。通常介词to 表示引出动作的承受者,介词for引出动作的受益者。

2 双宾语结构改为被动语态时,如果用直接宾语作主语,间接宾语作保留宾语,这种被动语态称为第一被动句。如果用间接宾语作主语,直接宾语作保留宾语,则称为第二被动句。例如:

I sent Sue a copy. 

Sue was sent a copy. 第一被动句

?A copy was sent Sue. 第二被动句 (美国英语不接受,英国英语仅用于有限场合)

当间接宾语在意义上是动作的承受者时(转换成单宾语结构时,介词用to), 第一被动句在英国英语及美国英语都是正确的。第二被动句在美国英语几乎是不可接受的,在英国英语中,其可接受程度受到一定限制,即仅用于有限的场合。所以,当需要用直接宾语作主语时,应该由单宾语结构改为被动句,即间接宾语由介词to引出。例如:

A copy was sent to Sue. 单宾语被动句 (美国英语、英国英语均正确)

当间接宾语在意义上是动作的受益者时(转换成单宾语结构时,介词用for),第二被动句被认为是错误结构。即使第一被动句的可接受程度也受到质疑。例如:

I ordered Sue a copy.

? Sue was ordered a copy. 第一被动句 (可接受程度受质疑,有人认为可以)

X A copy was ordered Sue. 第二被动句(英国英语及美国英语均不接受)

所以,当间接宾语在意义上为受益者时,安全的方法是由单宾语结构改被动句。例如:

A copy was ordered for Sue. 单宾语被动句


现在回到网友的前二个问题:

A watch was given to me. 这是单宾语被动句,无论在英国英语还是美国英语都是正确的。

Some assistance was offered (to) him. 这个句子如果不用介词to, 则为第二被动句,在美国英语被认为是错误的。即使在英国英语其使用也是有限的(如果有by介词短语表示施事者,则可接受程度增加)。不省略介词,则为单宾语被动句,在英国英语和美国英语都是正确的。

A question  was asked of me. 正确 (单宾语被动句)

A question  was asked me. 错误 (第二被动句)

介词of不可省略。如果省略介词,则为第二被动句。当介词不是to的时候,第二被动句在英国英语和美国英语都被认为是错误的。


The picture was painted by a friend of mine whom I‘d like you to meet sometime.

先行词为a friend. (mine=my friends, 我想让你见的是我朋友中的一个。).


Jasper White is one of those rare people who believe in ancient myths.

one of the + 复数名词后接定语从句,通常定语从句的先行词为该复数名词,从句谓语应为复数形式。

the (only) one of +复数名词,后接定语从句,则先行词为the one, 定语从句谓语用单数形式。

网友句子中,先行词为 those rare people, 从句谓语应该用复数形式。

其它 2 个回答

(1) Some assistance was offered (to) him. (by sb)

<----> sb offered some assistance (to) him.

因为原始句里(to)可省略。


(2) A question was asked (of) me. (by him)

to ask questions of someone = to ask someone questions.

He asked a question of me = A question was asked of me. 

He asked me a question = I was asked a question. 


(3) The picture was painted by a friend of mine whom I'd like you to meet sometime.这里whom作为meet的宾语。

(1)关系代词whom先行词是a friend还是mine?

语义上,动动脑筋想想就很清楚;

结构上,of mine 是修饰语;

故,是a friend

(2)这个与新概念英语第二册第28课头一句:Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths. 句型一样。我们怎么判断先行词是哪个呢?

把先行词放到从句,亘古不变的基本手法。

Jasper White is one of those rare people

those rare people believe in ancient myths

第3个疑问。我判断这是一个非限制性定语从句。如果是非限制性定语从句的话,那么它就是描述性的和主句的关系不紧密。他所修饰的应该是名词词组:A friend of mine.
