本文着重从思维方式角度入手对英语语态的不对称现象进行分析。对于英语来说,语态一方面体现着动词的形态变化,另一方面反映说话者对客观事件的叙述视角,因而语态转换与逻辑和思维有关系。弄清这个问题对于进一步认识句法结构与语义结构之间的关系和提高学习、使用英语的能力都有一定的指导意义。 This article focuses on the analysis of the asymmetry of English voice from the perspective of thinking mode. For English, the modality on the one hand reflects the morphological changes of the verbs, on the other hand, it reflects the speaker’s narrative perspective on the objective events, and therefore the relationship between the modality transformation and logic and thinking. To clarify this issue is of guiding significance for further understanding of the relationship between syntax structure and semantic structure, as well as enhancing the ability to learn and use English.
