The notion is especially opposed to by those who have invested much in the area. 这个提议特别遭到了那些在本地区投资很大的人的反对。(因those的定语太长了，若用它作主语，主语与谓语就相距太远而显得句子松散。)

使用被动语态“六注意”

一要注意被动语态的不同时态

被动语态由“be+过去分词”，其中的助动词 be 根据情况可使用各种不同时态。8种常用时态的被动语态

由“助动词be + 动词的过去分词”构成。助动词be 有时态、人称和数的变化。

(1) 一般现在时：am/is/are +过去分词。如：

Rice is grown in south China. 华南种植水稻。

(2) 一般过去时：was/were+过去分词。如：

The glass was broken yesterday. 这块玻璃是昨天打烂的。

(3) 现在进行时：am/is/are being +过去分词。如：

(5) 一般将来时：will be +过去分词。如：

The cars will be sent abroad by sea. 这些汽车将由水路运往国外。

(6) 过去将来时：would be +过去分词。如：

The manager said the project would be completed by the end of the year. 经理说这个工程在年底前将会完成。

(7) 现在完成时：have/has been +过去分词。如：

This novel has been translated into several languages. 这本小说已被译成了几种语言。

(8) 过去完在时：had been +过去分词。如：

When I got to the theatre, I found the tickets had already been sold out. 我到达剧院时，发现票已卖完了。

三要注意非谓语动词的被动语态

1. 不定式一般式的被动语态。由“to be+过去分词”构成。如：

She asked to be given some work to do. 她要求给她一些工作做。

He was the last person to be asked to speak. 他是最后被邀请发言的人。

2. 不定式完成式的被动语态。由“to have been+过去分词”构成。如：

I should like to have been told the result earlier. 我本想让人把结果早点告诉我的。

3. 现在分词一般式的被动语态。由“being+过去分词”构成。如：

6. 动名词完成式的被动语态。由“having been+过去分词”构成。如：

注：过去分词没有被动式，因为它本身可以表示被动意义。如：

终极高考

The door remained locked. 门仍然锁着。

四要注意“get+过去分词”构成的被动语态

英语被动语态通常由“助动词be+过去分词”构成，有时也可用“get+过去分词”构成。如：

James got beaten last night. 詹姆斯昨晚被打了。

How did that window get opened? 那个窗户是如何打开的？

但总的说来，用get构成的被动语态不如用be构成的被动语态常见，尤其是在含有施动者的by短语时，用get构成被动语态更是少见。不过有时用be+过去分词构成被动语态构成误解时，人们可能会选get+过去分词来避免这种误解：

The window was broken. 窗户破了(表状态)。/ 窗户被打破了(表动作)

The window got broken. 窗户被打破了(表动作)
