be warned

I suggest that tourists be warned of these practices when they arrive at the airport.

我想問, 點解係be warned, 而不是are warned?

✔ 最佳答案
are warned雖然都是被動式,文法上不算錯,但表達意思或語氣是「現在你被警告」
但由於全句是你的建議,所以寫得咁死硬使人覺得猶如是已成事實或必定如此。
原句其實是...
I suggest that tourists are to be warned of this practices...的縮寫版。
寫法是所謂較為客觀地表達be warned,連主動詞are都隱藏了。

希望從這種句法遣詞和表達組織來理解。

可否再舉多少少縮寫的例子? 怎樣用?
