be only to be done和be only done有什么区别呀。例句是欧路上的Practical wisdom is only to be learned in the school of experience.
is only learned 和 is only to be learned 语法上都正确,但第一个 is 是表示被动语态的 be(passive be),第二个 is 是准情态动词 be(quasi-modal be),所以含义略有不同。本例中 is only to be learned 等于 can only be learned。
quasi-modal be 详细介绍请看 The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language 206页。
另外,我觉得 “* Practical wisdom is only to be learned in the school of experience.” 作为例句不合格,前后都不通顺,是 gain wisdom,不是 learn wisdom 啊。。与其写“复杂”的中式英语,不如简单地写成 “Wisdom is only to be acquired through experience.”
