不可以说：The company is said╳improving its safety standards.

　　及物动词say的被动形式is said后不可以跟动名词improving担当主语补足语。

　　●(我认为)现在去谋求那个工作职位为时已晚了。

　　I suppose (that) it is too late to apply for that job now. ( 句子谓语使用suppose的主动语态)

　　= It is supposed too late to apply for that job now.

　　句子谓语使用suppose的被动语态is supposed，后面跟不定式一般式担当主语补足语。

　　●(人们)都了解温室气体会对气候产生影响。

　　We know that greenhouse gases can affect the climate.

　　= Greenhouse gases are known to affect the climate.

　　及物动词know的被动语态are known后跟不定式一般式表示将来。

　　●对吸烟会增加患肺癌的可能性这一点我们深信不疑。

　　Smoking is believed to increase a person's risk of developing lung cancer.

　　= It is believed that smoking can increase a person's risk of developing lung cancer.

　　= Everyone believes that smoking can increase a person's risk of developing lung cancer.

　　从以上例子不难看出，那种所谓的 “It is said/reported+从句和sb.+is said/reported+to do sth.”是固定句型或固定用法, 并将其对照为汉语翻译 “含义为：据说……； 据报道……” 这样的学习方法就显得有些肤浅和死板了。
