being done/ be+动词过去分词

一、用作谓语时，表示被动语态的进行时态。

Your steak is being grilled and will be ready in a minute.您的牛排正在烤着，马上就好。

Unfortunately, my car broke down and I was stuck there while it was being repaired.不幸的是，我的车坏了，在修车的时候，我就被困在那里。

二、作为非谓语动词的being done，其用法则比较复杂。

1.用作定语

当非谓语动词being done用作定语时，只能置于被修饰名词之后，表示一个正在进行的被动动作。如：

Did you see that boy being questioned by the police?你看见那个男孩受到警察的盘问了吗?

We are going to reduce the number of trees being cut down.我们要减少砍伐的树的数量。

注意：being done, to be done与done均可用作后置定语，其区别为：being done表示正在发生的被动动作;to be done表示将要发生的被动动作;而done表示已经发生的被动动作。比较：

(1) The play produced last month aimed mainly to reflect the local culture.

(2) The play being produced now aims mainly to reflect the local culture.

(3) The play to be produced next month aims mainly to reflect the local culture.

2.用作主语

being done可以用于句首作主语，表示一个被动的动作。如：

Being sent to prison was the final degradation.堕落到最后的地步就是被关进监狱。

Being recognized wherever you go is the price you pay for being famous.出名所付出的代价是不管你走到哪里，都会被人认出来。

3.用作宾语

being done不仅可以用于动词后作宾语，而且可以用作介词后作宾语，也是表示一个被动的动作。如：

He tried to escape being punished.他设法逃避惩罚。

After being informed the flight would be delayed, we made other arrangements.在我们得知飞机要推迟起飞后，我们另作了安排。
