我們?cè)谟⒄Z(yǔ)中經(jīng)常見(jiàn)到被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，其用法要比漢語(yǔ)廣泛得多。漢語(yǔ)中也可用被動(dòng)形式來(lái)表述。不過(guò)，相比較而言，在英語(yǔ)中使用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)的頻率要高些。那么，英語(yǔ)被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)譯成漢語(yǔ)時(shí)，既可以譯成主動(dòng)句，又可以譯成被動(dòng)句，這要取決于具體句子所表達(dá)的涵義及漢語(yǔ)表達(dá)習(xí)慣而定。除此以外，還可根據(jù)漢語(yǔ)表達(dá)方式譯成無(wú)主句、判斷句等，如：

It was founded in 1993 …

它（指世界貿(mào)易組織）創(chuàng)建于1993年……。(譯為主動(dòng)句)

其表現(xiàn)是，越來(lái)越多的國(guó)家利用爭(zhēng)端協(xié)調(diào)體系來(lái)解決貿(mào)易糾紛，而且越來(lái)越傾向于用“庭外和解”的方法解決爭(zhēng)端。（譯為無(wú)主句及插入語(yǔ)）

No review of the achievements of the WTO would be completed without mentioning the Dispute Settlement System.

提到世界貿(mào)易組織（的成就）就不能不提及爭(zhēng)端協(xié)調(diào)體系。（譯為賓語(yǔ)）
