另外還有一些常用被動(dòng)句型的習(xí)慣譯法，需要平時(shí)積累，比如：
It is hoped that...希望……，有人希望……
It is assumed that...假設(shè)……，假定……
It is claimed that...據(jù)說……，有人主張……
It is believed that...有人想信……，大家相信……
It is reported that...據(jù)報(bào)道……，據(jù)通報(bào)……

【真題例句】
It is imagined by many that the operations of the common mind can be by no means compared with these processes,and that they have to be required by a sort of special training.
【解析】
It is imagined by many//that the operations of the common mind can be by no means compared with these processes,//and that they have to be acquired by a sort of special training.
主句：it is imagined，其中it為形式主語，而that引導(dǎo)的that the operations...compared with these processes和that they have to...special training是并列的主語從句，為真正的主語。原文中有三個(gè)被動(dòng)語態(tài)is imagined，be compared和be required，譯成漢語都變成了主動(dòng)表達(dá)："認(rèn)為"、"相比"和"掌握"。具體為：
(1)It is imagined by many此處是"It+被動(dòng)語態(tài)+that"形式的處理，譯為"很多人認(rèn)為"。
(2)that the operations of the common mind can be by no means compared with these processes,此處所用的是譯成漢語主動(dòng)句的處理方法，并保存原文主語譯為"普通人的思維活動(dòng)根本無法與這些思維過程(科學(xué)家的思維過程)相比"。
(3)and that they have to be required by a sort of special training此處所用的是譯成漢語被動(dòng)句的處理方法，譯為"認(rèn)為這些思維過程是必須由某種專門訓(xùn)練才能掌握"。
【參考譯文】
許多人以為，普通人的思維活動(dòng)根本無法與這些思維過程(科學(xué)家的思維過程)相比，認(rèn)為這些思維過程是必須由某種專門訓(xùn)練才能掌握。
