Mhm Here are the main reasons we use the passive.

這裡是我們使用被動的主要原因。

Let's take a look at number one.

讓我們來看看第一條。

My wallet was stolen.

我的錢包被偷了。

The active voice of that would be somebody stole my wallet in number one.

這句話的主動語態是：第一條中有人偷了我的錢包。

We don't know who did the action somebody.

我們不知道誰做的行動有人。

So we put this into the passive.

所以我們把這個放到了被動。

My wallet was stolen.

我的錢包被偷了。

No two.

無二。

I was born in 1980.

我出生於1980年。

That's not really true.

這並不是真的。

But there's your passive.

但這是你的被動。

I was born.

我出生了。

Now everybody knows it was your mother who gave birth.

現在大家都知道是你母親生的。

So we don't have to mention her.

所以我們不必提及她。

Number one.

第一。

Nobody knows number two.

沒有人知道二號。

Everybody knows number three.

每個人都知道三號。

It's not important who manufactured the camcorder this camcorder and here's your passive was manufactured in Japan.

誰生產的攝影機並不重要，這臺攝影機和你的被動是在日本生產的。

Nobody.

沒有人。

Well not many people are going to ask, oh who manufactured it.

那麼沒有多少人會問，哦，誰製造的。

We might talk about the company but not the actual people who did it.

我們可能會談論公司，但不會談論實際做這件事的人。

And finally number four, that's the book which was stolen.

最後是第四個，就是那本被盜的書。

Here's your passive in this case.

在這種情況下，這是你的被動。

The reason we use the passive is because we want to emphasize the object in this case the book.

我們之所以使用被動語態，是因為我們想強調對象，在本例中是指書。

So we want to put that as the subject of the sentence and you could argue perhaps that it's the same for 32 and one.

所以我們要把它作為句子的主語，你也許可以認為32和1是一樣的。

We want to emphasize my wallet.

我們要強調我的錢包。

That's the important thing that's happening.

這就是正在發生的重要事情。

Not the unknown person.

而不是那個不知名的人。

Number two, we don't want to mention your mother.

第二，我們不想提及你的母親。

Really I was born is the and we're emphasizing the subject.

真的我出生是和我們強調的主題。

I it's the sentences about you and the same thing for three.

我這是關於你的句子，也是關於三個人的同樣的事情。

So number four we want to emphasize the sub the object.

是以，第四，我們要強調對象的次。

So we put it as a subject and then change the change the verb to the passive voice.

所以我們把它作為一個主語，然後把動詞改成被動語態。

Uh that holds true for most of these in some way.

呃，這在某種程度上對大多數人來說都是真實的。

I have three examples here that I'm going to use to change the active voice.

我這裡有三個例子，我將用它們來改變主動語態。

We have the verb stole are going to and grow three different verb tenses.

我們有動詞stole are going to和grow three different verb tenses。

I'm gonna put these into the passive voice to show you how to change from active to passive.

我要把這些放到被動語態中，向你展示如何從主動變為被動。

No one.

沒有人。

The reason we would put this one in the passive is that we don't know who did the action.

我們會把這個放在被動的原因是，我們不知道誰做了這個動作。

So we take the object my wallet and it goes to the front as the subject.

是以，我們把我的錢包這個對象，作為主語放在前面。

My wallet.

我的錢包。

We take a look at the verb here stole.

我們看一下這裡的動詞偷了。

That's the simple past of the verb to steal.

那是動詞 "偷 "的簡單過去時。

We used the simple past of the verb to be was and then we add the past participle of the verb to steel which is stolen.

我們使用了動詞to be的簡單過去時，然後加上動詞to steel的過去分詞，這就是偷。

And do we need to say by someone?

那我們需要說由誰來做嗎？

No, because we don't know who it is.

不，因為我們不知道它是誰。

So the by phrase at the end is unnecessary.

所以最後的by短語是不必要的。

So someone stole my wallet becomes my wallet was stolen.

所以有人偷了我的錢包，變成我的錢包被偷了。

No two.

無二。

The editors are going to review my book.

編輯們要審查我的書。

Well, we would take the object once more and put it as the subject of my book.

好吧，我們會再一次把這個對象，作為我書中的主題。

Then we look at the verb tense here are going to present continuous.

然後我們看一下這裡的動詞時態，要用現在的連續。

We used the present continuous of the verb to be.

我們使用了動詞to be的現在進行時。

My book is since it's singular, write my book is going to be reviewed.

我的書既然是單一的，寫我的書就要被審查。

No, you might ask do we need to say by the editors perhaps you can put that in there if you think it's important.

不，你可能會問我們是否需要說由編輯，也許你可以把它放在那裡，如果你認為它是重要的。

But quite often that by phrase is left out because the information that follows it is not necessary for the meaning of the sentence.

但很多時候，這個短語被省略了，因為它後面的資訊對句子的意思來說並不是必須的。

Alright, for example.

好吧，比如說。

And and that holds true in number three as well.

而這一點在第三條中也是成立的。

Example, here farmers grow apples around here.

例如，這裡的農民在這裡種植蘋果。

Probably that sentence wouldn't be used because we would use the passive there.

可能這個句子不會被使用，因為我們會在那裡使用被動詞。

So we'd say apples are grown and you might ask why are we using that passive like this, grow is the simple present.

所以我們會說蘋果是生長出來的，你可能會問我們為什麼要這樣使用這個被動詞，生長是簡單現在時。

R is the simple present of the verb to be.

R是動詞to be的簡單現在時。

Then we have the past participle of grow which is grown.

然後我們有grow的過去分詞，也就是grow。

So apples are grown around here and that would take the emphasis of apples and put it on the front.

是以，蘋果在這裡生長，這將把蘋果的重點放在前面。

And everybody knows that farmers or orchards grow apples so we don't have to mention them at all.

而且每個人都知道農民或果園種植蘋果，所以我們根本不必提到他們。

So there we have three examples of different verb tenses going from the active verb voice to the passive voice.

是以，我們有三個不同動詞時態的例子，從主動動詞語態到被動語態。
