新概念系列之《Part2 Lesson 24 It could be worse》

课文

I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost $50 and I felt very upset. 'I left the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained $50. 'I found this outside this gentleman's room,' she said. 'Well,' I said to the manager, 'there is still some honesty in this world!'

被动:sth + be done by sb
我被毛毛影响了。
I was affected by Mao’s thought.

时态变换体现在be上
be-am\are\is-was\were\been\being
要特别提出进行时的被动语态:
be的进行时形式为being,进行时的形式是be+doing,那就是be+being,在加上过去分词done=be being done
现在进行:am\are\is being done
过去进行:was were being done
