汉语和英语都有主动语态和被动语态之分,可是对于两种语态的运用不尽相同。
一般来说,英语里运用被动语态的频率明显高于汉语。
从句法角度看。
英语重形合,注重句法结构和表达形式。
当主动式不便于表达时,出于造句的需要或修辞的考虑,往往采用被动式,除此之外,从文体的角度看,某些文体较多使用被动句,以迎合其表达的需要。
昨晚我盖了两条被子。
(不说“昨晚我被两条被子盖着”)Last night I was covered up with two quilts.困难克服了,工作完成了,问题也解决了。
The difficulties have been overcome, the work has been finished and the problem solved.树被风刮倒。
The tree was blown down by the wind. 风把树刮倒了。
The wind blew down the tree.她被人杀害了。
She was killed. 有人把她杀害了。
Someone killed her.敌人的阴谋被揭穿了。
The enemy’s plot was exposed.我们把敌人的阴谋揭穿了。
We exposed the enemy’s plot.“为……所”式,是较古的被动式,与现代的被动式结合,即为“被……所”,如:茅屋为秋风所破。
The Thatched house was destroyed by the autumn storm. 她被花言巧语所陶醉。
She is intoxicated with sweet words.“是……的”式,即表示状态的静句,通常可以与表示动作的动句互相转换,如:这些产品是我国制造的。
These products are made in our country.风速是用秒米表示的。
The speed of wind is expressed in metres by second. “……的是”式,一般可以与“是(由)……的”式互相转换,如:推荐我的是一位教授。

被动语态翻译英语中被动语态使用范围很广,凡是在不必或不愿说出或无从说出施动者以及为了便于连贯上下文或者为了强调动作的承受者等场合,往往都用被动语态。
英语被动句的翻译主要有以下几种情况:一、译成汉语主动句。
1.原句中的主语、谓语不变,译文中没有表示被动的标志,如“被、把”字等,形式上是主动句,表达被动意义。
例如:Eg. On Practice has been translated into many foreign languages. 《实践论》已译成许多国家的文字。
Eg. The whole country was armed in a few days. 几天以内,全国就武装起来了。
2.原句中的主语移到谓语之后,译作宾语。
Eg. Another middle school has been set up in our district.我们区又办了一所中学。
Eg. 1,200 people had been saved soldiers in the earthquake. 在地震中,战士们已救出1200人。
3.译成带表语的主动句。
Eg. The decision to attack was not taken lightly. 进攻的决定不是轻易作出的。
Eg. In the old society,women were looked down upon. 在旧社会,妇女们是受歧视的。
4.含主语从句的被动句型译为主动句。
以it作形式主语的英语句子,翻译时常要转为主动形式,有时可加上“有人”、“大家”、“我们” 等不确定主语。
例如:Eg. It is reported that the enemy has been breeding new strains of killer viruses.据报道敌人正在培育新的杀人病毒。
Eg. It is suggested that meeting be put off till next Monday.有人建议会议推迟到下星期一举行。
英译汉时被动语态的基本的翻译方法如下:01直接译为主动语态(1) 译为无主句或添加模糊主语It is said that…据说…Such a conclusion can be drawn…(我们)可以得出这个结论…The boy can be assumed(我们可以)假设这个男孩…有时为了译为明确行文,可以适当添加“我/我们”“人们”等模糊的主语The students were seen reciting the new words and phrases.有人看见学生们在背新单词和短语。
(2) 在主语明确的情况下,保留原句主语。
The food was exhausted only in a few days.食物在几天内就吃光了。
02译为被动语态不能译为主动语态的,可采用中文中的被动语态的句式来译,常见的被动句式有“为…所”“让…给”Unifies our country's condition as our country's historic tradition, causes these to be adopted by us.结合我国的国情以及我国的历史传统, 使这些为我所用。
Her dress was caught by a nail.她的衣服让钉子给钩住了。
03科技文献中译为“能够”“可以”Because it is very slippery,it is used for lubrication.04用“是…的”字句表示被动“是…的”是一种形式主动,实际上是不用“被”字的被动句,例如:War is invented by the human mind.战争是人的智慧发明的。
再如冰心的《梦》,“五色的丝线,是能做成好看的活计的;香的,美丽的花,是要插在头上的;镜子是妆束完时要照一照的;在众人中间坐着,是要说些很细腻很温柔的话的;眼泪是时常要落下来的。
女孩子是总有点脾气,带点娇贵的样子的。
