Take place 是什么意思?举行、发生,却不用被动语态

Take place 可以表示活动举行。同样是说会议在柏林举行,was held 能用,was taken place 却不行:两个表达的语法有什么不同?

Take place 表示发生或举行,通常用于事先安排的活动,例如会议、考试或婚礼。它也可以说明电影或书中的故事发生在哪里。

想记住 take place 的用法吗?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

event + take place + in/at/on + place/time; took place (past)

  • The final exam will take place in the main hall on 12 June.
  • The meeting took place online because half the team was travelling.
  • Most of the film takes place in a small town in Scotland.

修改原因

修改前The conference was taken place in Berlin last year.

修改后The conference took place in Berlin last year.

Was taken place 把 take place 和 was held 这样的被动结构混在了一起。但 take place 不构成 was taken place 这种被动形式;活动本身 takes place。过去发生时,用 took place 即可。

Cambridge Dictionary

Happen 更常用于没有事先安排的事情:A strange thing happened on my way home。Take place 很适合计划内的活动:The ceremony will take place at noon。描述意外事故时,happen 更自然。
