主动代被动
一、主动形式被动含义的谓语动词
Sell/ read/ write/ wash/ clean/ draw/ burn/ cook/ photograph/ break/ catch/ clean/ drive，当它们被用 作不及物动词来描述主语特征时，常用其主动形式表达被动意义，主语通常是物，后面跟副词well/easily等，用来说明主语的某种特性或品质是好还是坏。uniwant.com
The girl doesn't photograph well, so she was sorted out of the group.
这女孩不上镜，所以被刷下了。
This ball pen writes smoothly.
这圆珠笔写起来很流畅。
That discursive essay doesn't translate well.
这篇散文不好翻译。
注意：主动语态表被动强调的是主语的特征，而被动语态则强调外界作用造成的影响。
试比较：The door won't lock.
(指门本身毛病)
The door won't be locked.
(指不会有人来锁门，指“门没有锁”是人的原因)
二、连系动词表被动含义
smell/taste/sound/feel/prove
e.g.￡ 50 sounds right.
Working from home proved a real advantage after my son was born.
