The bill passed the house 还是应该是The bill was passed by the house 呢

VOA: Senate Considers Biden's $1.9 Trillion Stimulus Package

The bill passed the house with just Democratic support.

众议院通过了提案,但只有民主党同意。

这里是否应该是The Bill was passed by the house with just...呢? just=only吧?

为什么可以说成The bill passed the house 呢?

《韦氏高阶》pass

12 a [+ object: to officially approve (a law, bill, etc.)

§  Congress passed a law banning the sale of automatic rifles.

§  The measure was passed by both the House and the Senate.

§  We've been trying to get this legislation passed for several months now.

chiefly US : to become approved by (a legislature)

[+ object]

§  The measure passed both the House and the Senate.

§  The bill passed the House but was defeated/rejected by the Senate.

[no object]

§  The proposal passed (into law).

§  The bill failed to pass in the Senate.

遇到此类问题不要急于提问,先查词典。自己能解决的问题就不应求别人。换作我是你,我看到这个句子的反应是,奥,原来pass还可以这么用,而不是质疑其用法。

        这里的house指众议院,英语可以说:The Bill was passed by the house. 也可以说:The house passed the bill. 还有一种说法就是The bill passed the house. 这里我们要体会英语思维,pass有通过,走过的意思。法案走过了众议院,即走完了众院的相关程序,当然就表示获得众院通过。

请比较下面的若干例句并体会:

A civil rights bill proposed by congressional Democrats and supported by the White House had just passed the House of Representatives when, in early 1964, the Senate took it up for debate.

The package passed the House but a provision to raise the minimum wage is likely to die in the Senate before it lands on President Biden's desk.

President Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill was sent to the Senate after passing the House over the weekend.

If a bill passes one house and is amended in the other, the bill goes back to the house where it was originally passed for action on the amendment.
