## passive voice 被动语态 ##

英语中的语态（voice）共有两种：主动语态（active voice）和被动语态（passive voice）。被动语态用于说明**主语**和**谓语动词**之间的关系，表示**主语**是动作的承受者。一般来说，只有及物动词（transitive verb）才有被动语态。语法上，被动语态由 “be动词 + 动词过去分词” 构成。例如，  
The book **is called** *The Fault in our Starts*, published in 2012.

*  Two hundred people are employed by the company.
 *  The trees were planted by my grandfather.
 *  I have been bitten by a dog.
 *  You will be given plenty of time to decide.
