【一句话翻译提高智商】美国总统选举 : 答案， 要点，语法

请把下面这句中文用一句话翻译成英文：

由于拜登在密执根和威斯康星州的微小领先，选票在关键州仍在计数中。

 

答案：Votes are still being counted in key states as Biden takes a narrow lead in Michigan and Wisconsin。

关键表达：

关键州：key states

b微小领先：take a narrow lead

语法：

are being counted ：现在进行时的被动语态

被动语态

1．何时运用被动语态：

（1）强调动作的接受者：America was discovered by Columbus.

（2）不知谁是动作的执行者：You are wanted on the phone.

（3）作客观说明：It is said that the meeting has been put off.（经典句型）

2．主动变被动的基本方法：（说起来容易，掌握起来需要用心！）

（1）主动语态中的宾语变为被动语态的主语。

（2）谓语动词变为由“be 过去分词”的形式，配合时态作相应变化。

（3）主动语态主语置于介词 by之后，如无必需，则省略。

（4）不及物动词没有被动语态。

平行结构

许多句子在描述一个人或一件物品时往往会出现一系列修饰语；动词的修饰语， 即副词往往也会几个同时使用，构成平行结构，平行结构要求语法结构须保持一致，如：

1．系列动词：

after school, we sang, danced and played the piano in the classroom.

2．系列形容词：

She is slim, tall, blond and beautiful.

3．系列副词：

The students are listening to me carefully and eagerly.

平行结构不仅包括动词，形容词，副词，也包括分词，不定式，动名词，名词短语和句子等的平行用法，务必提高辨别力。
