怎么是被动?另外麻烦翻译下这个句子

Answer 1

1.privilege是特权的意思,permission是许可,允许的意思.这里是说,只有宾馆的客人才能是用私人海滩.显然,我觉得特权在这里用得太过了些,它语义太重了,能使用海滩是一种许可和允许,还达不到特权的地步~
2.retreat是用于人的,不用于物,且它的意思是撤退,带有明显的主观色彩,而潮水是无知觉的物质,不会“撤退”.
3.这里用到get away的意思“脱身”,而get off常用于“到哪儿去”
4.这里也是词语的固定表达,说“缩水”,我们都常用shrink.
reduce是减小,减少的意思.decrease是消退,下降的意思,dwindle也是减小的意思.显然在这里能表达“缩水”意思的只有shrink
5.这句话是说：面对苦难,勇气和耐心使人类变得坚韧.
站在人的角度,苦难是被人面对的,苦难本身没有思想,不会“面对”什么东西.因此是被动语态.
