mean的被动语态

If one begins by examining why ancients refer to Amazons, it becomes clear that ancient Greek descriptions of such societies were meant not so much to represent observed historical fact—real Amazonian societies—but rather to offer “moral lessons” on the supposed outcome of women's rule in their own society.

这句话中的mean为什么要用被动语态,“被意味着”直接用mean不可以吗?

mean to do sth. 意欲、想要,其主语为有意志的人。mean sb/sth to do sth 想要某人或某物做某事,做某事并不是宾语自己的意图。你的句子的主语为descriptions,是没有意志和意图的,不可能发出mean这个动作的,所以必须用被动语态。
