意义被动式与结构被动式的区别及其表达形式

The Differences between Passive in Meaning and Passive in Structure and Its Expressions

被动式是英语中常见的一种语法现象。被动式包括结构被动式和意义被动式两类，意义被动式虽然没有结构被动式使用普遍，但却有多种表达形式。意义被动式运用多种表达形式，以主动的形式来表达被动的意义，在表达功能上，主要对主语起描述说明的作用。

The passive form is one of the grammatically common occurrences in English and it can be divided into the syntactic passive and the notional passive. Although not so frequently used as the syntactic passive, the notional passive possesses several different expressions by which the passive in meaning can be expressed with the active form. As for the syntactic functional expressions, the notional passive is employed for the description of the subject in its sentence.
