be referred to as...结构分析

People who work in offices are frequently referred to as “white-collar workers” .

这里的 be referred to as,其中的 refer 是不及物动词吧,所以才接介词 to;可是不及物动词不是没有被动式吗?以及后面的 as 又做什么成分?

People who work in offices are frequently referred to as “white-collar workers”.

【翻译】在办公室工作的人往往被称为“白领工作者”。

【分析】

1. refer 不及物,但refer to 就及物,这跟listen to, look at 是一样的用法,可以有被动语态。

2. refer to sb. as...:把某人看作是......;as 引出宾语补足语。

3. be referred to as...:某人被看作是......;此时,as 短语为主语补足语。

(1)被动结构:主语+be referred to as B 主语被称B。

People who work in offices are frequently referred to as “white-collar workers” .

参考译文:在办公室上班的人们经常被称作为白领职员。

以上句子语法结构分析如下:

主语:People

修饰主语定语从句:who work in offices

频度状语:frequently

谓语:are referred to 

主语补足语:as white-collars workers

Our economy is referred to as a free market.

我们的经济被称作自由市场经济。

(2)主动结构:主语 refer to A as B 主语把A称作为B

Marcia had referred to him as a dear friend.

马西娅把他称作好朋友。

He simply referred to him as Ronnie.

他就叫他龙尼。

备注:refer为不及物动词,但是refer to 为及物动词意思为“称…为”,后面可以接宾语+宾补成分。
