英语语法 - 不定式的被动语态
Your company aims to ceate a famous Chinese brand and joining it can afford a valuable oportunity to be associated with the growth of a China's self-owned brand.
to be associated 是被动式到的被动语态吗?为什么这么用呢?

答案

be associated with 是固定搭配.其实不能算是被动语态.举个相似的列子,be interested in sth,这个时候interested算是个形容词,同理,这里的associated也是形容词.
