※ 引述《anper (鏡中人)》之銘言：
: 書名：新多益閱讀題庫大全
: 版本：8
: 頁數：p.448 第135
: 題目：
: We here at Home Remodeling remain _____ to reliable service,
: quality product, and long-term trust and dedication.
: (A)committing
: (B)commits
: (C)commit
: (D)committed
: 疑問：
: 這題是在區分過去分詞和現在分詞，在主動的情況下用現在分詞
: 被動的情況下用過去分詞，照句子的意思來看，應該是我們xxx公司繼續
: 致力於提供可靠的服務...巴拉巴拉，那應該是用現在分詞才對啊
: 為什麼答案會是D的過去分詞呢???
主被動如果都是用「人」為中心，很容易會陷入被動思維。英文其實還存在一種灰色地帶
，就是 半被動 (簡單說就是不用 be/become + pp. + by 為結構，卻具備被動含意)。不過
既然叫半被動，相對我們不能忽略它含有「主動的成分」，畢竟嚴格來說，絕對被動不存
在。以常見的 "be interested in" [1] 為例，對事物有興趣，看似主動，卻別忘了相對
上受到事物的吸引，所以你這裡的 "remain committed to" 也是一樣的道理。不過建議你
也可以用搭配的角度來看，以下一些例句提供你參考 [2] [3] [4]。
[1]
The upper classes aren't interested in governing the country. They're just
interested in owning it. (Independent, 24 February 1999)
[2]
We will remain committed to the reforms we have promised and to working for a
peace process that is Afghan-owned and Afghan-led. (Time, Dec. 05, 2011)
[3]
President Bush said Monday that he remained committed to using diplomacy to
block Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, his first public comments
addressing recent speculation that the United States was weighing military
action to do so. (NY Times, April 11, 2006)
[4]
The action will be taken by lecturers, researchers and academic-related staff
across the UK. But the two unions, which are merging, stressed that industrial
action was an "absolute last resort" and remained committed to resolving the
dispute before it reached the picket line. (Guardian, 20 February 2006)
以上希望對你有幫助 :)
