摘　　要：英语被动结构的主位、述位谁是焦点这一问题一直为人们所关注，但尚未达成一致意见。针对这一问题，本文将带施事的被动结构放在语篇当中进行了研究，结论表明：带施事的被动结构能够起到主位突显和末尾焦点共现的双重功效，即受事者和施事者均是被强调的部分，只是随着受事者和施事者所负载的新旧信息的变化，它们被强调的程度会稍有不同，负载新信息者会稍强一些。Whether the English passive construction emphasizes the initial position or the final position has been discussed a lot but no unanimous conclusion has been drawn. To solve this problem, this paper studies the agentful passive construction at the textual level, with the conclusion that the agentful passive construction can realize double effects simultaneously： thematic prominence and end-focus. That is, beth the patient and the agent are emphasized, but this emphasis varies with the information variation on the part of the patient and the agent.

关 键 词：带施事的被动结构 主位突显 末尾焦点
