* 被动语态的翻译 语态是表明句子中谓语与主语之间关系的一种语法手段。相比汉语，英语中被动语态使用范围大、频率高。因此，在翻译时，我们可以根据两种语言的习惯，从句式和辅助词语两个方面进行语态转换。 1被动语态的翻译 1.1 译成被动句 英语被动句是由“助动词be+过去分词”构成，在译成汉语时，除了用 “被”表示外，还可以运用其他词语，如 “受”、“遭”、“让”、“给”、“由”、“把”、 “让”、“为……所”、“加以”、“予以”等。例如： 一、 英译汉中被动语态的翻译 被动语态的翻译 The optimists believe defeat is not their fault: circumstances, bad luck, or other people brought it about.
