注意到aim target intend mean这几个词都有被动形式,如be aimed at,be targeted at...但当主语是物时,主动和被动形式都有用,请问有没意义或使用方法上有什么区别
例:The paper is targeted specifically at young people.
The adverts target yoof culture.
一个及物动词的主动语态和被动语态,只不过语态上有什么区别,对谓语动词的“施事者”和“同意者”,强调的对象不同而已,动词词义没发生任何变化。比如,网友的两个句子都可以转换为相反的语态,而意思不变,只不过在翻译上按主动被动,灵活翻译即可:
The paper is targeted specifically at young people.
这份报纸专门针对青年。
= The newspaper office (报社)targets the paper specifically at young people.
The adverts target yoof culture.
这类广告针对青年的文化。
= Yoof culture is targeted by the adverts.
同理,aim 也是如此的使用方法,比如:
Our economic plan is aimed at strengthening the middle-class.
大家的经济计划致力于巩固中产阶级的地位。
= We aim our economic plan at strengthening the middle-class.
