    Definitions

    [edit]

    被

    1. † to cover
    2. † to suffer; to sustain (loss, misfortune, etc.)
    3. by
      我被蚊子咬了。  ―  Wǒ bèi wénzi yǎo le.  ―  I got bitten by mosquitoes.
    4. Used before a verb to indicate passive voice (traditionally with a negative connotation, but also used generally under the influence of Westernization).
      我的錶被偷了。／我的表被偷了。  ―  Wǒ de biǎo bèi tōu le.  ―  My watch has been stolen.
      我們的汽車尾巴被撞壞了。 [MSC, trad.]
      我们的汽车尾巴被撞坏了。 [MSC, simp.]
      Wǒmen de qìchē wěiba bèi zhuànghuài le. [Pinyin]
      The rear end of our car was smashed.
    5. (neologism) passively; under duress; in a forged manner; etc.
      被自殺／被自杀  ―  bèi zìshā  ―  to "be suicided"; to be killed by the authorities who then pass one's death off as suicide
      被就業／被就业  ―  bèi jiùyè  ―  to "be achieved employment"; to be falsely recorded as employed (for the purpose of falsifying employment data)
      被吸菸／被吸烟  ―  bèi xīyān  ―  to smoke secondhand
      被嫖娼  ―  bèi piáochāng  ―  to be falsely accused of visiting a prostitute
    6. a surname.
    Usage notes
    [edit]
    • In a passive-voice sentence, 被 is placed after the subject and before the doer of the action. The doer of the action is placed before the verb or can be omitted.
    • As a neologism, by affixing 被 to a verb or verb phrase that is rarely used in the passive sense (e.g. an intransitive verb), a deliberate awkwardness is constructed to call to the absurdity of the situation being referred to.
