✔ 最佳答案
to be found其實是一種筆法,是用了to不定詞,英文叫to-infinitive,所謂to-infinitive是to+原形動詞(如:am,are和is等等的原形動詞是be),to-infinitive有很多的功用,1)它可以用作名詞,2)形容詞,3)副詞,而根據它們的功用,分別稱為名詞不定詞、形容詞不定詞、副詞不定詞。如
1)To known oneself is difficult(名詞不定詞)
2)There is nothing to be seen.(形容詞不定詞)
3)I went to see him(副詞不定詞to see是修飾went)
現在回到你的句子,the dog is nowhere to be found
這句的is並不是”是”的意思,而是”在”的思意
而nowhere在這裏也不是作名詞用,而是作副詞用”任何地方都不”的意思
而to be found就作一個副詞不定詞,用來修飾nowhere這個副詞,是表明任何地方都找不到(用be是因被動語氣,the dog是被找尋的)
所以,全句就是:那隻狗任何地方(哪兒)也找不到
其實yahoo字典也有一個相似的例子,你可以參考,nowhere在這句作副詞用








nowhere

1. 任何地方都不
In the winter break I went nowhere, just stayed at home.
寒假期間,我什麼地方都沒去,一直待在家裡。
The dictionary is nowhere to be found.
那本詞典哪兒也找不到。
當然the dog is nowhere can be found,因為nowhere並非關係代名詞,can be found又不能作副詞用,所以這句子就變成有兩個主動詞,這就錯了。
can之後不可以用is,而必須用be;因為所有助動詞之後,都要用原形動詞。
yet:yet未必一定要放在最後,你可以說:I have not yet finished.
the dog had gone...:因為你說it can not be found,這句已表明直到現在也未曾尋回那隻狗,所以gone這個動作的果效還在生效,因此不可以用past perfect tense,而要用present perfect tense: The dog has gone and it cannot be found
若你說:The dog had gone and I could not be found yesterday.這句的意思是(狗走了,直到昨日都未能尋回牠──但卻暗示了現今牠已被尋回)
