"was sent"是英语中"send"的过去式被动语态结构,由助动词"was"和过去分词"sent"构成。根据剑桥词典的语法解析,该结构主要用于描述过去发生的被动动作,强调动作承受者而非执行者(来源:Cambridge Dictionary - Passive Voice)。
具体含义解析:
时态构成:"was"作为be动词的过去式,配合主要动词"send"的过去分词"sent",构成过去式被动语态。例如:"The email was sent yesterday"(该邮件于昨日发出)。
语法功能:根据牛津英语语法指南,这种结构常用于以下场景:
语义延伸:在商务英语中,该结构常隐含"正式传达"的含义。如世界银行技术文档中提及:"The final report was sent to stakeholders prior to the conference",表示信息传递的正式性和程序完整性(来源:World Bank Document Standards)。
词源考证:"send"源自古英语"sendan",经过中古英语演变,其过去分词形式"sended"在14世纪被"sent"取代。现代英语中保留的"sent"形式更符合日耳曼语系动词变化的规律(来源:Online Etymology Dictionary)。
“was sent”是英语中常见的过去被动语态结构,由动词“send”的过去分词形式构成,具体含义和用法如下:
“was sent”表示“被发送/被派遣”的过去动作,强调动作的接受者而非执行者。例如:
被动语态公式:
$$
was/were + 过去分词
$$
其中“was”对应单数主语(如it/he/she),“were”对应复数主语(如they/we)
动作执行者可选择性出现:
The letter was sent (by her). (这封信由她寄出)
信息传递
“文件/消息被发送”:
The report was sent to the manager(报告已发送给经理)
物品寄送
“包裹/物品被邮寄”:
The package was sent to the wrong address(包裹被寄错地址)
人员派遣
“某人被委派任务”:

时态对比:
主动被动转换:
主动句:She sent an email → 被动句:An email was sent (by her)
