" English Grammar Usage"

1. Haunt be be used to describe ghost. For example: The pub is said to be haunted by the ghost of a former landlord .

真要請教回答者： Nessa,
為什麼不用 passive voice? 各字典寫錯?

haunt 不一定用 passive.

1. 首先 haunt 帶有 煩擾, 困擾 或 流連 嘅意思。照您嘅意思,想表達出自己經常被痛楚所煩擾,可以甘樣寫: I always haunted by the ache of (sth.)

2. Sacrifice 係指 犧牲, 祭品 或獻祭,通常跟起動詞後面。
例子:
1. In order to improve the technology, some sacrifices are needed.
2.Some villages will use human as sacrifice to dedicate(奉獻) to their lords.
