书上看到这么一组句子:
1)The tap water is not fit to drink ?
说不能be drunk.
2)Do you have any letters to be typed
说不能to type.
3)The next thing to consider is to find a nice place to live.
说不能to be considered.
请教老师,书上说法是否正确?第一句是否可以用be drunk, 第二句是否可以用to type, 第三句是否可以用to be considered?
麻烦老师讲解一下原因。谢谢!
1)The tap water is not fit to drink ?
说不能be drunk.
【答】在 fit 后面的动词不定式可以用主动式,也可以用被动式。所以:
The tap water is not fit to drink. = The tap water is not fit to be drunk.
(注意:这是陈述句,句末应该用句号)
2)Do you have any letters to be typed
说不能to type.
【答】如果you 是typed的执行者,即你打印,通常用:Do you have any letters to type。
如果你让别人打印,可以说:Do you have any letters to type. 也可以说:Do you have any letters to be typed.
3)The next thing to consider is to find a nice place to live.
说不能to be considered.
【答】 to consider 可以改为to be considered。类似例句:
