下面一組練習(xí)是把主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)跟被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)作個(gè)比較. 練習(xí)的內(nèi)容還是說(shuō)到婦女 過(guò)去不準(zhǔn)作的事情. 練習(xí)里的詞匯都是我們剛才學(xué)過(guò)的. 練習(xí)的作法是老師 用 could not 作一個(gè)句子, 學(xué)生就用 weren't allowed 把句子改成 被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)說(shuō)出 來(lái). 下面就是一個(gè)例子:

M:Women could not vote.

F: Women weren't allowed to vote.

現(xiàn)在我們開(kāi)始作練習(xí), 在學(xué)生作句子的時(shí)候請(qǐng)你也一起作.

M: Women could not vote.

F: Women weren't allowed to vote.

M: Women could not own land.

F: Women weren't allowed to own land.

M: Women could not get a higher education.

F: Women weren't allowed to get a higher education.

F: Women weren't allowed to practice most professions.

M: Women could not hold public office.

F: Women weren't allowed to hold public office.

下面我們作一組綜合練習(xí), 復(fù)習(xí)不同時(shí)態(tài)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)句子. 練習(xí)的作法是老 師提出一個(gè)問(wèn)題, 比方 "過(guò)去女性受男性支配嗎?" Were women dominated by men? 或者 "婦女一直被禁止擔(dān)任公職嗎?" Have women been prohibited from holding public office? 接著老師提出一個(gè)表明時(shí)態(tài)的詞組, 你就把詞組代 換到原來(lái)的句子里. 首先我們給你舉一個(gè)例子,請(qǐng)你注意聽(tīng).

M: Were women dominated by men?

M: have been

F: Have women been dominated by men?

M: are being

F: Are women being dominated by men?

M: should be

F: Should women be dominated by men?

現(xiàn)在我們開(kāi)始作練習(xí). 每作完一句, 老師就會(huì)念出正確答案給你聽(tīng).

M: Have women been encouraged to pursue a career?

M: were

F: Were women encouraged to pursue a career?

M: are being

F: Are women being encouraged to pursue a career?

M: need to be

F: Do women need to be encouraged to pursue a career?

下面老師換了一個(gè)句子.

M: Have women been prohibited from holding public office?

M: are being

F: Are women being prohibited from holding public office?

M: should be

F: Should women be prohibited from holding public office?

M: can be

F: Can women be prohibited from holding public office?

下面老師又換了一個(gè)句子.

M: Was it considered improper for a woman to have a profession?

M: has been

F: Has it been considered improper for a woman to have a profession?

M: is

F: Is it considered improper for a woman to have a profession?

M: should be

F: Should it be considered improper for a woman to have a profession?

下面我們?cè)僮饕唤M練習(xí)比較主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)跟被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài). 練習(xí)的作法是老師用主動(dòng) 語(yǔ)態(tài)說(shuō)出一個(gè)句子,比方"社會(huì)對(duì)婦女加以限制"The society placed restrictions on women. 請(qǐng)你把句子改成被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài), 并且用 by 指明動(dòng)作執(zhí)行者, 所以答案 就是: Restrictions were placed on women by the society. 在這一組練習(xí)里你可 以學(xué)習(xí)到美國(guó)婦女過(guò)去受到的限制跟他們多年來(lái)爭(zhēng)取到的權(quán)利; 你也可以練 習(xí)許多跟婦女運(yùn)動(dòng)有關(guān)系的詞匯, 比方 "保證" guarantee, "女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)者" feminists, "支持" support, "男女平等權(quán)修正案" the equal rights amendment, "招收" admit 等等. 現(xiàn)在我們開(kāi)始作練習(xí). 每作完一句就請(qǐng)你聽(tīng)老師念正確 答案.
