英语中有一种主动句可以转换成两种被动句型,它们通常是一些表示客观说明的句子。如:

People believed that she is honest. 大家相信她是诚实的。

It’s believed that she is honest. 大家相信她是诚实的。

She is believed to be honest. 大家相信她是诚实的。

比较上面两类被动句型可以发现,一类是“it+be+过去分词+that从句”,另一类则是“主语+be+过去分词+不定式”(其中的“主语”为前一类句型中that从句中的主语),通常可用于这两类被动句型的动词有assume, believe, expect, fear, feel, know, presume, report, say, suppose, think, understand等,比较(同时注意其中时态和动词形式的变化):

It’s known that he was a good singer. / He is known to have been a good singer. 大家知道他曾是位优秀的歌手。

It’s reported that he was driving fast. / He is reported to have been driving fast. 据说他当时车开得很快。
