大全388——OG中关于sold的解释

JasonTang

    

388. In June of 1987, The Bridge of
Trinquetaille, Vincent van Gogh’s view of an iron bridge over the Rhone sold for $20.2 million and it was the
second highest price ever paid for a painting at auction.

(A) Rhone sold for $20.2 million and it was

(B) Rhone, which sold for $20.2 million, was

(C) Rhone, was sold for $20.2 million,

(D) Rhone was sold for $20.2 million, being (C)

(E) Rhone, sold for $20.2 million, and was

            

        对OG的答案没有疑义，但对于OG中的一段解释不是很明白。

.....Finally, to be idiomatic, the verb should be in the passive voice, not the
active voice: the painting was sold for
a certain amount.

            

        问题：什么时候sell应该用被动？什么时候可以用主动语态？

        好像在那个帖子中看到说sell可以用主动语态表示被动，但OG中为什么这么说呢？

            

        请教NN....................

sell的主动表被动，是在sell well的时候；如果是卖多少钱，用be sold.
