没有吻别的车站(站内无吻别)

在法国一些主要火车站的站台,很快,人们将不再能看到缠绵的亲吻和泪水汪汪的道别。这源于一项新的举措——其目的肯定与这个以浪漫著称的国家的声誉不符——巴黎、里昂和马赛火车站的官员已经推出了新的―迎候筛手续‖,以确保站台只为乘客所用。里昂火车站站长让卢克.奥巴迪亚说:―目的是通过阻止无票乘客上车来减少欺诈行为,同时也有利于列车正点出发。‖穿制服的SNCF铁路公司职员会要求人们在进入站台之前出示车票,同时公司建议他们的亲人在车站其它地方同他们话别。铁路公司的官员说将于下月开通的巴黎到马赛的高速铁路线会增加这三个城市间的列车班次,因此必须保证所有列车正点出发。奥巴迪亚补充说:―如果你的同伴健康状况良好,自己能照顾自己,我们会要求你们在到达月台之

前道别。不过如果你是来送你的祖母,而她又带着沉重的皮箱,我们也会让你通过。‖对于那些被拦在月台栅栏后的人们,他有一个颇堪慰藉的想法:―我告诉人们,如果他们看不到列车离去,就不会那么伤心。‖

第三课 被动与主动

【知 识 点】 被动与主动 翻译技巧——主动句与被动句的转换 【学习建议】 结合实例认真揣摩与体会汉英语言主动态与被动态的特点

被动语态在英语里是一种常见的语法现象。可以说被动句促成了物称倾向,而反过来物称倾向也滋长了被动句。被动语态的广泛使用是英语区别与汉语的又一特点。这一特点在一些正式文体,尤其是科技文体,报刊文体等文体中反映得尤为突出。

英语被动语态除了在科技文体中广泛使用外,还常见于以下情况。

1) 不知道或没有必要说明动作的执行者是谁。例

Such books are written for children. We haven‘t been told about it.

2) 出于礼貌、措辞圆通等方面考虑不愿说出动作的执行者是谁。例

You are requested to give a performance.

It is generally considered not advisable to act that way.

3) 无从说出主动者是谁。例

You‘re wanted on the phone. Rice is chiefly grown in the south.

4) 为了便于衔接。例

He appeared on the stage and was warmly applauded by the audience. Jack fought John in the men‘s singles last night and was beaten.

5) 为了突出谈话的中心。例

英语被动式一般借助形态变化来表示,形式很多:有限定动词多种时态的被动式,也有非限定动词(不定式、分词、动名词)的被动式;有非人称被动式(impersonal passive),如 it is believed,也有双重被动式(double passive), 如The date is expected to be announced soon。这些具有结构标志的被动句不仅应用范围很广,而且使用的频率也很高。而意义被动式,即用主动的形式表达被动的意义,在英语里比较少见。主要常见于以下情况,如: 1) 一些表示―开始‖、―结束‖ 意思的不及物动词。例

When did the accident occur

The interview took place in an ordinary house.

2) 一些表示―移位‖、―运转‖等意义的动词。例 The stone moved.

His voice records well.

3) 有些表示状态特征的连系动词。例 The flowers smell wonderful.

The method proved effective.

4) 有些动词往往和表示行为方式的状语连用,以表示被动意义。例 These products sell like hot cakes.(= are sold)

The clock winds up at the back(=can be wound up).
