● 在被動語態中，我們時常見到以下的句型：
be 動詞 + 過去分詞 + 介系詞 + 受詞
不過，你知道各式各樣的過去分詞最常搭配什麼介系詞嗎？
VT為你整理了一些常見的句型，快一起來看看吧！
● 過去分詞 + 介系詞組合：
1. be/get bored with/by 對…感到厭煩
I am bored with eating out all the time. 我對吃外食感到厭煩。
Do cats get bored of the same foods? 貓會對吃一樣的食物感到厭煩嗎？
(近年來 be bored of 也漸漸地被大眾接受，不過最標準的說法還是 with 及 by)
2. be covered with 被…覆蓋
The mountain was covered with snow. 山被雪覆蓋了。
一般情況下使用 with 不會錯，不過如果要描述較抽象的涵蓋 (隱喻) 只能使用 by，例如：
The car damage was covered by insurance. 保險涵蓋了車子的損失。
因為車子不是真的被保險「蓋」住了，只是某種譬喻，這時候就得用 by。
3. be crowded with 被…擠滿
The streets are crowded with people. 街道被人群擠滿了。
4. be excited about 對…感到興奮
I am excited about my holiday. 我對我的假期感到興奮。

7. be interested in 對…感興趣
I thought she might be interested in wildlife conservation. 我覺得她可能會對野生動物保育感興趣。

當位置較廣時用 in (像是國家、城市、地區)，例如：
The new school will be located in the center of town. 新學校將會位於市中心。

當位置更詳盡時用 on (像是樓層、範圍較小的地點)，例如：

My office is located on the 3rd floor. 我的辦公室位於3樓。
當位置精確時可以用 at (像是地址、某特定地點)，例如：
