　　He was killed with a bullet.   I was struck with an idea.

　　[附注2] 一般说来，只有当谓语是被动式时，这个句子才可称为被动句，下面的句子含有被动意义的非谓语成分，虽然表达了一定的被动意义，但是不能说是被动句，She didn't like herself to be praised like that. 这种被动意义的非谓语成分主要由下了词语表达出来：

　　1) 被动不定式。它可以在句中作主语、定语、复合宾语、状语等。

　　It is an honor for me to be invited to take part in the meeting.

　　He wanted the letter to be typed at once.   She was the first woman to have been elected to such a post.

　　The speech made by the Prime Minister yesterday delighted his supporters.

　　3) 被动动名词。I had the honor of being elected      His being neglected by the host added to his uneasiness..
