刘老师在一个答案里说
She dressed herself in a red dress at the party testerday.
=She was dressed in a red dress at the party testerday.
那么She dressed in a red dress at the party testerday.可以么?如果不可以的话,是不是说如果动作的对象是自己,就必须用被动语态呢?
看来,你对这个问题仍然比较模糊。有几个问题需要帮你澄清:
1. 有的网友纳闷,为什么“被动结构”表“主动意思”。我们之所以说,She was dressed in a red dress at the party yesterday. 是因为dress一词的含义是“给某人穿衣”,它的宾语是“人”。所以,我用了主动语态演示这个被动句的来历:She dressed herself in a red dress at the party yesterday. 目的是为了让你更好地理解为什么。
【说明】dress并非“反身动词”,它的宾语可以是“反身代词”,也可以是名词或其他代词,例如:She dressed her baby every morning.
2. 你假设的这个句子She dressed in a red dress at the party yesterday. 是不符合dress的用法的。要么用被动式,要么在dressed后加herself,原因已经讲明。
3. dress 后如果不是“in +衣服”,而是说明某人的穿衣风格或方式,则可以用作不及物动词,无须用被动。例如:
She dresses in a rather conservative way. 她的衣着相当朴实。
Mary dresses in the latest Paris fashion. 玛丽按最新的巴黎风格穿时装。
She dressed in a hurry and dressed her children. 她匆匆穿好衣服,然后给孩子们穿衣。
She dresses well, but she has no conversation. 她穿着入时,但不善于辞令。
She dressed with elegant simplicity. 她的穿着朴素而雅致。
She dressed up like a princess for the party. 她打扮得像个公主一样去参加宴会。
