　　重点知识讲解

　　【相关句型辨识】

　　Two of them were parked on his front lawn.

　　其中两辆停在他门前的草坪上。

　　词句运用到了而被动语态，即 “be done” 的结构，被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者，一般来说，只有需要动作对象的及物动词才有被动语态。汉语往往用"被"、"受"、"给"等被动词来表示被动意义 。被动语态的时态变化只改变be的形式。

　　例如：

　　He is believed by us.他被我们所信任。

　　Some pens were bought for his children by him.有些笔被他拿去给他的孩子了。
