In the struggle,the strap broke and,with the bag in their possession,both men started running through the trees.
break在这里为什么没有用被动,这么用是对的吗?
表示“打破;破裂;折断”等意思,break 既是及物动词,也是不及物动词。
“皮带断了”—— 可以被人拉断、折断,也可以自身断裂。所以,网友的句子用主动或被动,均可:
the strap broke
the strap was broken
有的语法书,把及物动词叫做“他动词”,把不及物动词叫做“自动词”,是为了体现动词是否及物的用法特征。“他动词”需要跟宾语,有被动语态;“自动词”不跟宾语,没有被动语态。
像break(打破,断裂),improve(提高,改善), change(变成),turn(变成),decrease(减少),increase(增加)等动词,既是他动词(及物动词),也是自动词(不及物动词),也就是说,使用主动语态和被动语态都可以,主动语态强调了自身的动作,被动语态强调了人为因素或外在因素。
