被动句的翻译（被动句的翻译（ 22 ））将英语被动句译成汉语的无主句或将英语被动句译成汉语的被动句

　　汉语的句子可以不带主语，因此，当无须说出行为的主体时，可以将英语的被动句译成汉语的无主句。一般说来，英语中不带 by 短语并含有情态动词的被动句都可以采用这种译法。翻译时，将原句的主语译成宾语，放在动词后面，也可以加“把”、“将”、“对”等词将宾语放在动词之前。当英语被动句在语义上着重谓语动词本身的意义时，可用汉语的被动句结构来翻译。此时，原句的主语一般仍译作主语，在谓语动词前加“被”、“受” 等字来表示被动意义。若原文句子中含有行为主体（动作的发出者），可在行为主体前“被”、“受”、“由” 等，或用“为…所”来表示被动。还可在原句的主语前加“使”、“把” 等来表示。
