英語中有一種"get＋過去分詞"構(gòu)成的被動語態(tài).其中g(shù)et與"be＋過去分詞"結(jié)構(gòu)中的be同樣起助動詞的作用.這種結(jié)構(gòu)在談?wù)撏蝗话l(fā)生、出乎意料的偶然事件.
【例如】It is upsetting when a person gets punished for a crime that he didn’t commit.The picture got damaged (＝was damaged) when we were moving.If they make such criticisms they will get treated with the contempt they deserve.The old lady got hit by a flower pot falling from a balcony.I got invited to lots of parties last holidays.I don’t want to get mixed up with the police again.
"get＋過去分詞"與"be＋過去分詞"表達(dá)的被動語態(tài)并不完全相同,"be＋過去分詞"既可表示動作,又可表示狀態(tài),而"get＋過去分詞"則主要表示動作【例如】The police say the man was shot when they found him,but they don’t know when he got shot.
在這個句子中was shot表示狀態(tài),而got shot則表示動作.再如：另外,"be＋過去分詞"構(gòu)成的被動語態(tài)不用于將來進(jìn)行時和完成進(jìn)行時；而"get＋過去分詞"可以用這些時態(tài).
