6 Passive

Страдательный залог

↑ Verb

Форма страдательного залога употребляется в предложении, подлежащим которого является предмет, на который направлено действие, выраженное глаголом. Таким образом, объект глагола в активном залоге соответствует подлежащему глагола в страдательном залоге (ср. My uncle made this table — Мой дядя сделал этот стул и This table was made by my uncle — Этот стол сделал мой дядя).

1) Образование формы страдательного залога

а) Форма страдательного залога образуется по схеме be + Past participle. Вспомогательный глагол be может употребляться в форме различных времен, а также в форме инфинитива или причастия настоящего времени. Исключения составляют времена Future continuous, Present perfect continuous и Past perfect continuous, отсутствующие в страдательном залоге. Вместо этих форм употребляются времена Future simple, Present perfect или Past perfect, соответственно, или используется конструкция в действительном залоге.

She cooked the food last night — Она приготовила еду прошлым вечером( глагол cook употреблен в действительном залоге времени Past simple).

The food was cooked last night — Еду готовили прошлым вечером (глагол cook употреблен в страдательном залоге времени Past simple).

I will have translated the article by 6 o'clock — Я переведу статью к 6 часам (глагол translate употреблен в действительном залоге времени Future perfect)

The article will have been translated by 6 o'clock — Статья будет переведена к 6 часам (глагол translate употреблен в страдательном залоге времени Future perfect)

What are you building here now? — Что вы сейчас здесь строите? (глагол build употреблен в действительном залоге времени Present continuous)

What is being built here now? — Что здесь строится сейчас? (глагол build употреблен в страдательном залоге времени Present continuous)

б) В разговорном английском языке вместо глагола be может использоваться глагол get. Обычно эта конструкция используется в том случае, если объект, выраженный подлежащим, подвергается действию неконтролируемых им сил, часто неблагоприятному, либо сам прилагает усилия к тому, чтобы направленное на него, но выгодное ему действие осуществилось. Кроме того, эта конструкция может иметь возвратное значение (действие над объектом, выраженным подлежащим, осуществляется им самим)

Nothing is more frustrating than pulling your new Ferrari off the showroom floor and getting stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic — Что может быть неприятнее, чем вывести свой новый "феррари" с подиума в выставочном зале и оказаться зажатым в уличной пробке

You won't get elected unless you decide to run a very active campaign — Нельзя добиться того, чтобы тебя избрали, если не решиться на проведение активной кампании

I asked if I could get dressed first because I was still naked except for my underwear — Я попросил разрешения сперва одеться, так как я все еще не имел на себе ничего, кроме нижнего белья

2)

а) При образовании общих вопросительных форм страдательного залога первый вспомогательный глагол (в том числе be) ставится перед подлежащим

Shall we be married? — Мы поженимся?

б) При образовании отрицательных форм страдательного залога частица not ставится после первого вспомогательного глагола (в том числе be)

They weren't seen — Их не видели

3) В английском языке, как и в русском, форму страдательного залога образуют переходные глаголы (см. Transitive and intransitive verbs). Непереходные глаголы (не имеющие дополнения, например, sleep - спать, die - умирать) употребляются только в действительном залоге. Также в страдательном залоге не употребляются переходные глаголы, выражающие постоянное состояние или отношение (например, have - иметь, lack - недоставать, resemble - быть похожим). Однако в английском языке, в отличие от русского, непереходные глаголы, требующие предложного дополнения, могут образовывать форму страдательного залога (при этом предлог остается при глагольной форме)

She was looked at with admiration — На нее смотрели с восхищением

4) Субъект действительного оборота может быть выражен дополнением с предлогом by в соответствующем страдательном обороте. Если дополнение, которое могло бы быть подлежащим в конструкции с действительным залогом, называет инструмент или содержимое какого-либо пространства, используется предлог with.

The letter was written by John — Письмо было написано Джоном

The letter was wrtitten with a pencil — Письмо было написано карандашом

The bottle was filled with water — Бутылка была заполнена водой

5) Косвенное дополнение в качестве подлежащего страдательного оборота

а) В английском языке косвенное дополнение (присоединяемое предлогом to) может также стоять сразу после глагола перед прямым дополнением. В этом случае оно может стать подлежащим пассивного оборота, также как и собственно прямое дополнение. Таким образом, конструкции, в которых косвенное дополнение без предлога стоит перед прямым дополнением, могут пассивизироваться двумя способами. В случае если подлежащим страдательного оборота является косвенное дополнение, прямое дополнение сохраняет свою форму. Если подлежащим является прямое дополнение, косвенное дополнение обычно присоединяется предлогом to, который иногда опускается (в безударном положении)

Mary gave John a book (действ.) - John was given a book (страдат. 1) / A book was given to John (страдат. 2) — Джону дали книгу

This story was told (to) me by my mother — Эту историю мне рассказала мать

б) Не все глаголы допускают замену косвенного дополнения с предлогом to беспредложным дополнением, стоящим перед прямым дополнением. Список глаголов, для которых такое преобразование невозможно, см. give me this / give this to me 2.

6)

а) Глагол, имеющий при себе сложное дополнение (см. Complex object) может принимать форму страдательного залога. В этом случае существительное или местоимение, следующее за глаголом в конструкции с действительным залогом, становится подлежащим страдательного оборота, а инфинитив или причастие, входящие в состав сложного дополнения, сохраняют свою форму

John is known to have written a book — Известно, что Джон написал книгу

Особенности конструкций со страдательным оборотом и инфинитивом или причастием в качестве дополнения см. Complex subject

б) Глагол say может употребляться в конструкции с инфинитивом только в форме страдательного залога (при этом логическое подлежащее (Logical subject) инфинитива является грамматическим подлежащим глагола say)

This town is said to have the largest houses for oxen, cows, and horses hereabouts — Говорят, этот город располагает самыми большими постройками для быков, коров и лошадей в округе

7) Употребление страдательного залога

а) Конструкция со страдательным залогом используется, если субъект действия неизвестен, неважен или очевиден

The window was broken — Окно было разбито (неизвестно или неважно кем)

б) В английском языке существует тенденция делать подлежащим того участника ситуации, который находится в фокусе внимания и уже известен. Если таким участником является объект действия (или, в некоторых случаях, косвенный объект), то соблюдение данного правила обеспечивается употреблением пассивной конструкции

I saw a boy running in the street. The boy was being pursued by some angry fellows — Я увидел мальчишку, бегущего по улице. За мальчишкой гнались какие-то разгневанные люди

в) Страдательный оборот часто используется в случае, если субъект действия выражен распространенной именной группой, так как такие группы предпочтительно помещать в конец предложения, а не на место подлежащего

She was surprised by his refusal to take part in her party — Ее удивил его отказ прийти к ней на вечеринку

8) Сочетание Present, Past и Future Simple глагола be с past participle могут иметь два значения: действие и состояние. Первое описывает то, что происходит, происходило или будет происходить с объектом, а второе указывает на состояние объекта. В первом случае сочетание be + past participle представляет собой одно из времен страдательного залога, во втором be является связкой, а past participle — частью составного глагольного сказуемого (Past participle сближается в этом случае по значению с прилагательным).

The houses are built rather quickly these days — Дома в наше время строятся довольно быстро ( действие)

The house is built of bricks — Дом построен из кирпичей ( состояние)

Her quiet was broken by the noise of someone entering the house — Ее покой был нарушен шумом, вызванным тем, что кто-то вошел в дом ( действие)

The engineer agreed the phone was broken and instructed his mate to bring it for repairs — Инженер признал, что телефон сломан, и приказал своему помощнику принести его для ремонта ( состояние)
