摘要：The Grammatical Category of Voice Although the grammatical category of voice can be identified in both English and Romanian,in English it does not arouse any controversies as the distinction is made only between active and passive. However,as Quirk put it,“in sentences where there is a choice between active and passive,the active is the norm.” (Greenbaum,Quirk,1990:45) Some recent studies speak about a third type of voice in English, namely,the medium voice,regarded as an intermediary between the active and the passive,allowing the subject of a sentence to be non-agentive but the verb morphology corresponding to the active voice. (Celce-Murcia, Larsen-Freeman 1999: 350)..
