定义 / 说明
转述型被动可在不明确点出来源的情况下报告信息。它常见于新闻、学术、正式评论:来源可能泛指、未知,或不是重点。主要有两类:It is said that... 与 He is believed to...。前者更“非人称”,后者聚焦被谈论对象。它们能形成更客观、保持距离的语气。
关键规则
- 非人称转述:It is said/thought/reported/believed that...
- 主语聚焦:subject + be + past participle + to-infinitive:She is believed to live abroad.
- 若被转述动作更早发生,用 to have + past participle:He is believed to have left.
- 这些模式比 People say that... 更正式。
- 尤其适用于来源不具名场景。
例句
- It is said that prices will rise. - 据说价格会上涨。
- He is believed to have left the country. - 据信他已离境。
- The company is expected to announce changes soon. - 预计该公司将很快宣布变动。
- It was reported that several people were injured. - 据报道有多人受伤。
- She is thought to be the best candidate. - 她被认为是最佳人选。
常见错误
- ❌ He is believed that he left. -> ✅ He is believed to have left.
- ❌ It is said him to be honest. -> ✅ He is said to be honest.
- ❌ She is thought that she knows the answer. -> ✅ She is thought to know the answer.
