Ask Learn闻问切英语口语:Start

读者 SL 问:以下两句哪一句对?

The registration will be started at 6.45 pm.

The registration will start at 6.45 pm.

文法上两句都对,但第二句较常用和简洁。

Registration 是死物,本身不可以自动开始,所以用被动式来显示为他人所启动也合理。但英文里面有些动词虽然以主动形式出现,却带有他动的意思。部分煮食的动词就有这个特征。下面三句都可以用来描述厨师在煎鱼这个场景:

The cook is frying the fish.

The fish is being fried.

The fish is frying.

同样,启动、完结、打开、关闭等字眼,都可以这样使用。

The school will close for Chinese New Year.

This window opens inwards.

The project concluded to everybody's relief.

当然,这些句子也可以写成被动式,但没有主动句那么简洁。
