被动变主动 －－－主动变被动 英语比汉语用更多的被动语态；
英语中用被动语态的句子翻译成汉语时，我们可根据汉语的语言习惯吧被动语态转换成主动语态；汉语中用主动语态的句子也可根据具体情况转换成被动语态。
例：A national link-up of computers could mean that a large amount of information will be supplied to anyone who uses the system.
把全国的电脑连接起来意味着可以向任何使用该系统的人提供大量信息。 例：Much has been said about the complication of the nuclear power station reactor. 有关原子能电站反应堆的复杂性已经谈得很多了。

全世界的石油将会用尽，人们将使用从原子分裂获得的这种更为方便的动力。 2.原文主语译作宾语
If bad weather is expected, the forecaster must be able to suggest another airport within the range of the aircraft where the weather will be suitable for landing.
如果预计天气恶劣，天气预报人员必须能够在该飞机航程内提出另一个天气适合着陆的机场。
3.译成带表语的主动句
