一D 英文 Gramma上的小問題

2006-12-11 9:02 am
1.
書寫:
A queue of cars quickly formed.

點解唔係passive, + verb to be而寫:
A queue of cars was quickly formed.
_____
2.
書寫:
Four people were involved in this accident

可否改寫做active voice:
Four people involved in this accident.
定係:
Four people involved this accident.
_____

上面兩句例子, 係會考作文到用像newspaper的sentence skip左d verb to be如例1
會扣分/低分嗎?

✔ 最佳答案
1. form同時是「及物動詞」和「不及物動詞」,
只有及物動詞可以變成passive voice,
所以form視乎情況可以變或不變做passive voice。

例如:
An idea formed in his mind. (不及物動詞)
The committee is formed by 10 people. (及物動詞)

所以queue可以用formed / verb to be + formed,
視乎情況, 例如:
a queue quickly formed behind us. 就通常不會加verb to be。
a queue of 8 was formed in front of the desk. 就會加verb to be。
詳情可查字典, 看看甚麼時候是及物動詞。

2. 如果要改成active voice,
應該是: This accident involved four people.
因為是意外涉及4人, 而不是4人涉及意外。
也可以是4人被捲入意外。
用時要清楚involve的意思, 到底被捲入,被包含的是甚麼, 人還是意外?

newspaper的headlines的確會省略一些verb to be,
這是為了省字數和精簡內容以吸引人注意
不過內文都很少會有這些省略。
而且不建議會考中用這種手法,
因為會考很著重考生是否正確掌握了英文文法。

第一句是正確與否在乎於你覺得"a queue of cars"可否成為能做動作的主語。若可以的話(我覺得沒問題),你便可以以主動式寫A queue of cars quickly formed。(由於車龍是由車子組成,每輛車都是直接的參與者,所以不用“第三者”去做成車龍。那樣,“車龍”就可以做這句句子的主語,也可以接上個動作動詞。)若是不可以的話,你就要用被動式:A queue of cars was quickly formed.

第二句的active voice是:
The accident involved four people.
記得,當句子由主動轉被動或被動轉主動時,主語與賓語的位置也要對調。
