“be said+不定式”的七种结构

Source: 恒星英语学习网  Onion  2010-08-13  我要投稿   论坛   Favorite  

【几点注意】

1.“be said+不定式”结构只有被动式,没有主动式。如:

据说他懂得许多语言。

正:He is said to know many languages.

误:They say him to know many languages.

但是,可以换成it’s said that…句式。如:

正:It is said that he knows many languages. (from www.hxen.com)

2.“be said+不定式”结构中的不定式有时可能是目的状语。如:

These words were said to frighten you. 说那些话是为了吓唬你。

【思维发散】与“be said+不定式”结构相似的还有“be reported (believed, supposed, thought, etc) + 不定式”等,其用法和搭配均大致相同。如:

She is believed to be staying with her aunt. 可以相信她住在她姑姑家里。

There is supposed to be a train at 12:37. 12点37分想必有一班火车。(from www.hxen.com)

Thousands were reported to be working as slaves there. 据报导数以千计的人在那里作奴隶。

He is reported to have been chosen chairman of the trade union. 据说他当选了工会主席。
