There is said to have been an earthquake in Japan. 据说日本发生了一次地震。
There was said to be disagreement between the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary. 听说,首相和内政大臣意见有分歧。
【几点注意】
1. be said+ 不定式 结构只有被动式,没有主动式。如:
据说他懂得许多语言。
正:He is said to know many languages.
误:They say him to know many languages.
但是,可以换成its said that句式。如:
正:It is said that he knows many languages.
2. be said+ 不定式 结构中的不定式有时可能是目的状语。如:
These words were said to frighten you. 说那些话是为了吓唬你。
【思维发散】与be said+不定式结构相似的还有be reported + 不定式等,其用法和搭配均大致相同。如:
She is believed to be staying with her aunt. 可以相信她住在她姑姑家里。
There is supposed to be a train at 12:37. 12点37分想必有一班火车。
Thousands were reported to be working as slaves there. 据报导数以千计的人在那里作奴隶。
He is reported to have been chosen chairman of the trade union. 据说他当选了工会主席。
