Lesson 62 – Sentence pattern with “bèi” in Chinese
Hello, everyone. It’s been a while. Welcome back. This is
Baixue’s Chinese Language Learning Program. Today, we will talk about Sentence
pattern with “bèi” in Chinese.
The sentence structure with " bèi "
“bèi” is used as a preposition in sentences. And
“bèi” means “by”. Let’s talk about these sentences.
( A ) The subject in the sentence with " bèi "
The subject in the sentence with "bèi" is
usually at the beginning of the sentence. It is usually a person/persons or a
thing/things which is/ are the receiver(s) of the verb predicate.
For example:
1. yán shí bèi hǎi
shuǐ fǔ shí le.
岩石被海水腐蚀了。
(The rocks were eroded by sea water)
2. nà běn shū bèi tā kàn
wán le.
那本书被他看完了。
(That book is
finished by him.)
(B) The predicate of the sentence with “bèi”
1. The feature of the sentence with “bèi” is that the
subject of the sentence is the receiver of the verb predicate. This means that
the verb of the sentence has to be a transitive verb.
For example：
(1). nà gè niú nǎi píng zi bèi wǒ rēng le.
那个牛奶瓶子被我扔了。
(That milk bottle was thrown by me.)
(2). nà shàn chuāng
hù bèi wǒ guān le.
那扇窗户被我关了。
(That window was closed by me.)
The objects of "throw" and "close" are
"that milk bottle" and "that window".
2. You can put “suǒ (所)” or “gěi (给)” in front of the transitive verb
(I was
touched by this scene, and cannot help joining to them.)
(2). hái zi bèi tā gěi
guàn huài le.
孩子被他给惯坏了。
(The child
was spoiled by him.)
3. The predicate of the sentence is generally not a
simple predicate verb. Usually the predicate is followed by le(了) , guò(过) , object,
complement, etc to show the result of the verb, the extent or the time of the
verb.
“le” and “guo” in the sentence indicate that the action
is the past tense. The action produced by the verb is finished.
For example:
(1). nà běn shū bèi tā kàn wán le.
那本书被他看完了。
(That book is
finished by him.) (auxiliary “le”)
(2). wǒ de tóu bèi zú qiú zá guò.
我的头被足球砸过。(auxiliary
“guo”)
(My head was
hit by soccer.)
(3). tā bèi wǒ shuō pà le. (jié guǒ bǔ yǔ)
他被我说怕了。(结果补语)
(He was scared
by what I said.) (resultative complement)
(4). tā bèi qì dé bù dé le. (chéng dù bǔ yǔ)
他被气得不得了。( 程度补语)
(He was so angry.) (degree complement)
(C ) the object of the sentence with " bèi
"
The predicate in the sentence with " bèi " can
have object in the following circumstances:
1. the object is part of the subject or belong to the
subject of the sentence.
shū bèi xué shēng ná zǒu liǎo yī běn.
书被学生拿走了一本。
(One of the books was
taken by a student.)
2. the object is the result of the subject dominated by
the verb.
tā bèi wǒ men xuǎn wèi
bān zhǎng.
他被我们选为班长。
(He was choosen as
our class president.)
3. subject is
where the verb happens.
yang tái shàng bèi duī
le hěn duō zá wù.
阳台上被堆了很多杂物。
(The balcony was piled by a lot of things.)
bèi is also a preposition which is just like ba. So bèi
can have its own object. And this object can be omitted. For example:
wǒ de zì xíng chē bèi (shuí)
tōu zǒu liǎo.
我的自行车被 (谁) 偷走了。
(My bike was stolen by (someone).)
Usually a complete sentence is more stringent follow the
"Subject + predicate (Verb) + Object"
sequence structure. The sentence with “bei” is a feature of the object in
advance, so its order is “Subject + 'bei' + (object
of “bei”) + predicate (Verb) + object of the verb or complement”. It
means “by”.
Ok, as we can see that the sentence with “bei” is a
little bit complicated. I hope I make this lesson clearly enough to be
understood. If you have any questions about the sentences with “bèi”, please
leave me a message and I will response to you ASAP.
Ok, that is all for today. We will talk about how to
switch sentence with ba to sentence with bei and vice versa.
