英语中的动词通常可以用主动语态或被动语态来表达不同的语义,但是有些动词却没有被动语态形式,其中就包括"receive"这个动词。
"receive"的意思是"接受","收到",它通常用于主动语态,表示某人接受或收到了某物。例如:
- I received a letter from my friend yesterday.(昨天我收到了一封朋友的信。)
- She received a lot of gifts on her birthday.(她生日时收到了很多礼物。)
如果要用被动语态表达"receive",需要使用类似"be given", "be presented with"的短语来替换。例如:
- The letter was received by me yesterday.(昨天这封信被我收到了。)
- A lot of gifts were presented to her on her birthday.(在她生日时,给她送了很多礼物。)
因此,虽然"receive"没有被动语态形式,但是我们可以用类似的短语来表达被动的意义。
