在日常生活中,常常需要使用「據說」「聽說」這種可以撇關係的句子
在英文裡面也有這種句型,加上去就可以撇清關係,反正不是自己說的
延伸閱讀 擺脫只會說 I think... 30種常見-表達意見的句型。口說寫作皆適用
據說
It is said (that) S + V
= People say (that) S + V
= S beV said to VR 或 S beV said to have + p.p. (所講的是發生在過去)
例如:It is said that he gave her a slap on the cheek.
People say that he gave her a slap on the cheek.
也可以把 that 子句後面的主詞搬到前面,句型改成被動式變成
He is said to have given her a slap on the cheek.
據信; 大眾普遍認為
It is believed/thought/considered/known (that) S + V
例如:It is believed that exercising regularly is good for our health.
It is thought that health is more important than wealth.
It is considered that consuming too much sugary drink will lead to obesity.
報導說
It is reported (that) S + V
例如:It is reported that people will get used to one thing after doing so for 21 times.
傳說; 謠言說
It is rumored (that) S + V
= Rumor has it that + S + V
例如:It is rumored that he is gay.
Rumor has it that he is gay.
