what means passive voice?


英文動詞有主動語態 Active Voice 和被動語態 Passive Voice 之分。
如果主語是動作或狀態的「發出者」，動詞就用主動語態；如果主語是動作
或狀態的「承受者」，動詞就用被動語態。
例如：
[主動語態]1. John encouraged Mary.﹝約翰鼓勵瑪莉。﹞
[被動語態]2. Mary was encouraged by John.﹝瑪莉受到約翰鼓勵。﹞


Use of passive
Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action.
It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action.
使用被動語態當動作是重點，當你不知道是誰作的，是誰作的並不重要。e.g. 1. My bike was stolen我的自行車被偷了。[不知道是誰作的]
2. The school bell was rung. 校鐘被敲響了。[是誰作的並不重要]
