  一般说来,表示被动意义要用被动态,构成被动态的动词必须是及物动词,不及物动词是没有被动态的。但是,英语里有些不及物动试?span lang=EN-US>SV(A)结构中却含有被动意义。这里主要有两种情况:一种是早期英语的残余。


     例如:The house is building.(房屋在建造中。) The book is printing.(书在印刷中)
在现代英语中则要求用通常的被动态表示,试比较:The house is being built. The book is being printed.
    另一种情况是为数不少的不及物动词可以表示被动意义。不及物动词的这种用法与汉语表示颇为相似,在日常用语中常有所见,值得注意,现摘引若干实例如下。

    对上述不及物动词为什么能用于表示被动意义的问题,说法不一。通常认为这部分动词一般都是及物动词,是及物动词的不及物用法。也有人认为像his books don't sell这种句子的动词在形式上是主动的,意义是被动的,实际上是his books are not sold的意思。
    对于以上说法,荷兰学者依拉德斯(P.A.Erades)提出了反对意见,提出:这种"主动"结构相对应的"被动"结构是存在的,但是,一看就知道含义不同。他说his novels are not sold 仅仅说明一个事实,而his novels don't sell却意味着这些小说有某种内在品质在影响其销路,意味着这些小说肯定不属于"畅销书"之列。以此类推,下列各组句子意思不同:
1a. The middle house won't let.(租不出去) 
1b. The middle house will not be let.(不会出租) 
2a. His plays won't act.(不适宜上演) 
2b. His plays will not be played.(不会上演) 
3a. She does not photograph well.(不上照) 
3b. She has not been photographed well.(照没有拍好) 
    依拉德斯的结论是:"只是当主语具有某种内在品质,可以促进、妨碍或阻止谓语表示的概念得以实现时,才能用这类结构。"(即前面所说的主动态表示被动意义的结构)依拉德斯的这种解释颇有道理,可以适用于以上一切例子。 
Eg. The door won't lock. 
(门锁不上)说明门本身有毛病,这与通常的被动态所表示的含义不同,就是说 The door will not be locked 并非说门本身有问题而锁不上,而是指某人不会锁门,或者在说话人看来门是不会被锁上的。 
    以上说明告诉我们,上述结构不仅与不及物动词有关,而且与主语有关,不及物动词的主语通常指物,并且兼起动作执行者的作用,这种"主动"结构与其相对应的"被动"结构不代表同一个意思。
