介紹一種特殊的被動(dòng)結(jié)搆

先看看這個(gè)句子：

A. says B. said C. is said D. is saying

此題應(yīng)選 C。這是一類比較特殊的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。試比較以下各組句子：

a. People say that he is an honest man.

b. It is said that he is an honest man.

c. He is said to be an honest man. (www.yingyuyufa.com)

據(jù)說(shuō)龜比象活得久。

a. People say that tortoises live longer than elephants.

b. It is said that tortoises live longer than elephants.

c. Tortoises are said to live longer than elephants.

人們認(rèn)爲(wèi)他已離開了。
