342 中翻英 (82) How to deal with the passive voice。 如何處理被動態 3/31/2023

342  中翻英 (82)      How to deal with the passive voice。  如何處理被動態            3/31/2023 

中文裡很少出現被動態的句子,  換句話說,  用得較少.  例如, "我被人打."  很少碰到. 多般以 "他打我" 出現. 在英文裡却常常使用. 

 在英文裡如, "bore 加 -ed (bored )的過去分詞就是用來處理被動態.

 例如:

Mary is bored . ( Mary 因工作而被弄厌倦 .)

 

试比较 下列两句

    例如 : 

             I am very interesting in Mathematics.  

               (错了. 因为interesting 后面不能用介词 in)

               (应改写 ‘I think Mathematics is very interesting.’)

             I am very interested in Mathematics.  

               (有被動的意思, 所以用過去分詞 'interested'.)

三月三十一日(星期五)的曠野筵席是豐富的大餐，訪友可盡情的享用，因為有聖經中歷史的記載，告訴我們如何認識和遵行上帝的旨意的教導，我們不會走入迷途。祂在新約和舊約里，給了信徒許多史實，却好叫門徒因著圣經上的忍耐和安慰，同得著天上將來的盼望。

「從前所寫的圣經，都是為教訓我們寫的。」（羅15:4）

基督教不單建立在訓律上，也建立在具體的榜樣上。神教導人的方法之一，乃是借著史實。圣經中歷史的記載，告訴我們人類如何認識和遵行上帝的旨意。我們因著留意古圣徒的生活，就不但可以發現神對我們的旨意，更學習了應如何去完成它。神的手在生活中給他們帶領，并在此表達了對他們的愿望，祂也要我們注意這些事物，好叫我們借此更清楚明白祂在我們身上所策划的工作。

我們是否需要很清楚的去教導一個小孩子去做每一件事呢？是否每一項生活細節，都必須個別的加以准許或禁止呢？難道小孩子不能單從觀察父母親的行動生活而多獲訓益嗎？我們從觀察所學的，比從聆听所學的是更快更多。并且經由前者所產生的印象，在我們里面也顯得更為深刻，因為訓律無疑是抽象的，而榜樣即將真理的運行方法，很具體的表達出來。在原則上，神的工作方法在今時代与在圣經的日子仍然是一樣的。祂在新約和舊約里，給了我們許多史實，好叫我們因著圣經上的忍耐和安慰，一同可以得著盼望。

"Every scripture that was ever written was written for our instruction." (Romans 15:4)

Christianity is not only founded on precepts, but also on concrete examples. One of the ways God teaches is through historical facts. The historical records in the Bible tell us how human beings know and obey His will. By paying attention to the lives of the ancient saints, we can not only discover God's will for us, but also learn how to accomplish it. God's hand guides them in life and expresses his desire for them here. He also wants us to pay attention to these things so that we can understand more clearly what He has planned in us.

Do we need to clearly teach a child to do everything? Does every detail of life have to be individually permitted or forbidden? Couldn't the child learn much from simply observing the action-life of their parents? We learn more quickly and more from observation than from listening. And the impression produced by the former is also more profound in us, because precepts are undoubtedly abstract, while examples express the operation method of truth in a very concrete way. In principle, God's method of working is still the same in today's age as it was in the days of the Bible. He has given us many historical facts in the New Testament and the Old Testament, so that we may have hope together through the endurance and comfort in the Bible.
