在“need/want/require+V—ing”及“bear/stand+V-ing"结构中用动名词的主动形式表示被动含义,这时相当于不定式的被动式。例如:

[考查热点7] be+to blame/to seek等结构具有的特点是作表语的不定式与句子的主语有逻辑上的动宾关系,因而用主动形式表被动含义。例如:

当不定式所修饰的名词或代词是及物动词的直接宾语,而间接宾语是不定式的逻辑主语时,可以用不定式的主动式代替不定式的被动式.例如:
The teacher gave the students some paper to write on.(the students是to write on的逻辑主语) (some paper 是write on的逻辑宾语)

当不定式所修饰的名词或代词是动词的宾语,而句子的主语也是不定式的逻辑主语时,可以用不定式的主动式代替不定式的被动式。若不定式与句子主语或宾语不存在逻辑上的主谓关系,只与所修饰的词有动宾关系时,即只有动作的承受者,没有动作的执行者时,不定式应用被动式。例如:
I have six letters to write today.(write的逻辑主语为I)
This letter is to be written today.
We have a house to let。(let 的宾语是 house)
