英语短语"be moved"是动词move的被动语态形式,核心含义是“被感动;受触动”(强调主语因外界因素产生情感上的触动)。
"be moved" 表示主语(人)被某件事、某个人的行为或某个场景引发情感共鸣(如感动、动容、暖心等),是描述情绪反应的常用表达。
"be moved" 通常需结合“感动的原因”或“感动的结果”来完整表达语义,常见搭配如下:
用介词by连接“感动的来源”(人、事、行为、作品等),是最常见的结构。
例子:
I was deeply moved by his selfless sacrifice for the community.
(我被他为社区做出的无私奉献深深感动。)
She is always moved by sad movies about family love.
(她总是被关于亲情的悲剧电影打动。)
用that引导的从句直接陈述“让主语感动的具体内容”,从句多为事实或细节。
例子:
He was moved that his old friend still remembered his childhood dream.
(他的老朋友还记着他童年的梦想,这让他很感动。)
We were all moved that the stranger donated all his savings to the orphanage.
(那个陌生人把所有积蓄捐给孤儿院,我们都很动容。)
常用to do结构说明“感动后的行为或状态”(如流泪、行动等)。
例子:
The audience was moved to tears by the singer's heartfelt performance.
(观众被歌手真诚的表演感动得流泪。)
They were moved to help the homeless after hearing their stories.
(听了无家可归者的故事后,他们深受触动,想要帮忙。)
常与deeply(深深地)、greatly(非常)、profoundly(极大地)等副词连用,强调“感动的程度”。
例子:
I was profoundly moved by the veteran's story of fighting for peace.
(老兵为和平而战的故事让我深受震撼。)
She was greatly moved when her students gave her a surprise birthday party.
(学生们给她办惊喜生日派对时,她非常感动。)
"be moved" 的时态随be动词的变化而调整,常见时态:
一般现在时:am/is/are moved(描述常态或当前状态)
例:This song is so touching—many people are moved by it.
一般过去时:was/were moved(描述过去的感动经历)
例:I was moved by your letter yesterday.
现在完成时:have/has been moved(强调“至今仍有影响”)
例:I have been moved by this book several times.
"move" 作动词还有“移动;搬迁;推动”的意思,但"be moved" 极少表示“被移动”(若表“被移动”,通常会明确语境,如:The table was moved to the corner. 桌子被移到角落。)。日常表达中,"be moved" 几乎都指“情感上的感动”。
"be moved" 是描述“被外界因素触动情感”的核心短语,关键是通过by短语、that从句或不定式补充“感动的原因/结果”,结合程度副词可增强情感表达。
