记得老师曾经说过,appear 是不及物动词,不能用于被动语态。但是在天星教育研究院和天星教育网组编的金考卷百校联盟系列《2014版全国著名重点中学领航高考冲刺试卷•英语》第八模拟卷(延边大学出版社出版)有这样一题:
This _______ one of the best novels that _______ been appeared this year.
A. are, have B. is, has C. is, have D. are, has
所给答案为 C。这个答案倒是没什么问题,但这里的 appear 为什么用了被动语态呢?是什么特殊用法吗?谢谢老师解答!
appear 是不及物动词,不能用于被动语态。在本题中,appear 的意思是“出版”,所以,下面一句中的 been 是多余的:
This _______ one of the best novels that _______ been appeared this year.
A. are, have B. is, has C. is, have D. are, has
又如:
His new book will be appearing in the spring. 他的新书将于春季出版。( 《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第8版 ,p.81)
A new journal will appear monthly. 一份新的杂志将按月出版。(《英汉大词典》第二版,p.83 陆谷孙主编,上海译文出版社出版)
