老兄，可以用读秀查的呀……
可见学界习惯用「环境」对译circumstantial
当然了这些文献基本上都是韩礼德学派的，难免有人要问，circumstantial voice 的circumstantial 是不是就是韩礼德的circumstantial？
这也不难证明。
The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Linguistics：
circumstantial (Adverb, adverbial)
which indicates the external setting, in space and time especially, of an event etc. E.g. both in Chicago and yesterday are circumstantial elements in We met her in Chicago yesterday. From French, where ‘circonstant’ or ‘complément circonstanciel’ would be variously applied to these and other adjuncts (1) forming the periphery (1) of a clause.
从这个定义可以看出，韩礼德的circumstantial 就是该词典定义的circumstantial ，上头第二张图可证。
再说circumstantial voice 的circumstantial，喂鸡百科的定义好像有点毛病，我看了External links那里，文章里讲了马达加斯加语里的Circumstantial Passive：
In Malagasy, the subject comes last, as seen with the placement of Rasoa above. Now we’ll do an ordinary passive, with the direct object ‘the clothes’ becoming the subject (and therefore appearing at the end of the sentence):
sasana-dRasoa amin’ ity savony ity ny lamba
wash.PASS-by-Rasoa with this soap this the clothes
‘The clothes are washed with this soap by Rasoa’
Now what if you wanted to make ‘this soap’ the subject? In English, you can’t. It’s not just that ‘this soap’ is the object of a preposition instead of a direct object: Sentences like This bed has been slept in or We were fired upon are quite common. But for some reason it just doesn’t work when the verb takes a direct object as well as a prepositional phrase. You end up with something weird like This soap was washed-the-clothes-with by Rasoa. For this soap to be the subject, you have to do a major workaround, something like This soap was used by Rasoa to wash the clothes. In Malagasy, though, it’s not a problem. You just have to have the right tool, and that tool is the circumstantial passive.
不难看出，这个circumstantial 也是词典定义的circumstantial ，那就套用汉译「环境」呗 |
