在翻譯被動句時，如要著重強調被動的動作，英語的被動句也可直譯為漢語的被動句。在翻譯時可通過増加漢語中一些表達被動語態(tài)的詞語來體現(xiàn)譯文的被動意義。

* The injected ore is easily melted in front of the tuyeres, and the molten ore is reduced to metal as it drips through the coke packed bed.

被噴入的礦石在風口前很容易被熔化，已經(jīng)熔化的礦石在滲過焦炭填充床時被還原為金屬。

2. 增譯“受”

* Certain sweat glands emit a distinctive odor when an animal is frightened.

動物受驚嚇時，某些汗腺會放出獨特的氣味。
