有的及物动词都可转换成相应的被动语。其实不然,至少在某种意义上,有些及物动词不能用于被动语态。
一、当句子的谓语是表示拥有、容纳、缺少概念的及物动词时。例如:
1.The millionaire possesses great wealth.这位百万富翁拥有大量的财富。
不能说:Great wealth is possessed by the millionaire.
2.The newly-constructed reservoir holds a lot of water.新水库蓄水量很大。

3.The house comprises five rooms.这幢房子有五个房间。
不能说:Five rooms are comprised by the house.
4,John Smith always lacks confidence.约翰史密斯总是缺乏自信心。
不能说:Confidence is always lacked by John Smith.
二、当句子的谓语是表示适合的及物动词,如suit,become,fit等时,没有相应的被动语态。
1.The blue skirt becomes Mary very well.这条蓝裙子玛丽穿上去很合适。
不能说:Mary is become very well by the blue skirt.
2.Will the date suit you?这个日子对你合适吗?
不能说:Will you be suited by the date?
3.We should fit our deeds to our words.我们应该言行一致。
不能说:Our deeds should be fitted to our words by us.
三、当句子的谓语是表示相互作用的及物动词,如:equal,mean,resemble等时。
1.No one equals him in intelligence.他的智力是无与伦比的。
不能说:He is equaled by no one in intelligence.
2.Revolution means liberating productive force.革命就是解放生产力。
不能说:Liberating productive force is meant by revolution.
3.The two boys resemble each other in appearance.这两个男孩长得相似。
不能说:Each other is resembled by the two boys in appearance.
四、当句子的谓语是表示明白意义的及物动词,如:get,catch,take时,也没有相应的被动语态。
1.The boy said,I didnt catch the last two words.这个男孩说:我没听清楚最后两个词。
不能说:The boy said,The last two words werent caught by me.
2.I dont take you at all.你说的我一点也不懂。
不能说:You arent taken by me at all.
五、动词have作有、接受、度过、吃、经历解时,没有被动语态。
1.I have five good dictionaries.我有五本好词典。
不能说:Five good dictionaries are had by me.
2.I had three letters from Mr.Green.我收到过格林先生三封信。
不能说:Three letters were had by me from Mr.Green.
3.We shall have a good Spring Festival.我们将过一个愉快的春节。
不能说:A good Spring Festival will be had by us.
4.I usually have breakfast at half past six.我通常六点半吃早饭。
不能说:Breakfast is usually had by me at half past six.
六、当及物动词last表示持续、经久的含义时,也没有相应的被动语态。
This coat has lasted me five years.这件外衣我已穿了五年。
不能说:I have been lasted five years by this coat.
七、及物动词cost表示价值、花费意义时,没有被动语态。
That project cost them too much in man-power,material and money.那项工程耗费了他们大量的人力、物力和财力。
不能说:They were cost too much in manpower,material and money by the project.
八、及物动词befall表示临到头上,发生于之意时,没有被动语态。
A succession of misfortunes befell the poor little girl.这个可怜的女孩遭受了种种不幸。
不能说:The poor little girl was befallen by a succession of misfortunes.
综上所述,并非所有的及物动词都可用于被动语态。所以我们要仔细辨析,以免用错。
