進階被動
🎯 這一課你會學會
把 B1 的被動再升級——完成式被動(has been done)、情態被動(must be done),以及新聞、學術最愛用的被動報導(It is said that… / He is said to…)。這些讓你的英語聽起來客觀、正式、成熟。
💬 先聽一段對話
Amy: Any news on the project?(專案有消息嗎?) Ken: The report has been finished, but it must be reviewed first.(報告已經完成,不過必須先經過審查。) Amy: I heard the deadline changed.(我聽說死線改了。) Ken: Yeah. It's said that the client asked for more time.(對。據說客戶要求多點時間。)
🔑 三種進階被動
- 完成式被動:has / have / had been + 過去分詞。
- The problem has been solved.(問題已被解決)
- 情態被動:情態動詞 + be + 過去分詞。
- It must be done today. / It can be seen from here.
- 被動報導(客觀轉述普遍看法):
- It is said that + 句子:It is said that he is rich.
- 主詞 + is said to + 原形:He is said to be rich.
🧩 文法點
① 完成式被動 = have been + 過去分詞(把「已完成」變被動):
- 主動:They have finished the work. → 被動:The work has been finished.
- 過去完成被動:By then, it had been done.
② 情態被動 = 情態 + be + 過去分詞(情態後接原形,被動的原形是 be + PP):
- It should be sent today. It can't be changed. It might be delayed.
- ❌ It must
is done→ ✅ It must be done。
③ 被動報導(講「大家說/認為…」,不指名是誰):
- 兩種等值說法:
- It is said / believed / thought / reported that + 完整句子:
- It is believed that the company will close.
- 主詞 + is said / believed to + 原形(把子句主詞提到前面):
- The company is believed to close soon.
- It is said / believed / thought / reported that + 完整句子:
- 講過去的事用「to have + 過去分詞」:
- He is said to have left the country.(據說他已離開——動作在過去)
- 用途:新聞、報告、學術——客觀、不指名消息來源。
📒 高頻單字

🗣️ 發音提醒
- has been 弱讀「həz-bɪn」;been + PP:been done、been solved。
- It's said that 連讀「its-SED-thət」。
- reported / believed / announced:過去分詞 -ed 三種音,自然帶過。
✍️ 開口練習
練習 1:改成進階被動。
- They have finished it. → It has been finished.
- You must do it now. → It must be done now.
- People say he is a genius. → It is said that he is a genius. / He is said to be a genius.
練習 2:情態被動填空。
- The form _ (should/sign). → should be signed
- This _ (can/fix) easily. → can be fixed
練習 3:用被動報導講一則(真假不論的)消息。
It is said that _. / _ is believed to _.
🎒 帶走
- 完成式被動:has/have been + 過去分詞。情態被動:情態 + be + 過去分詞。
- 被動報導:It is said/believed that… = 主詞 is said/believed to + 原形(過去事用 to have + 過去分詞)。
- 這些用在客觀、正式、不指名來源的場合(新聞/學術/報告)。
