请解释make reference to与reference is made to

题目

请解释make reference to与reference is made to
Reference is made to your quotation (your ref.No.5525) dated August 21,2000.
句首的“Reference is made to ”是怎么回事,和“make reference to”是一样的意思吗?其它的“动词+名词+介词”的动词短语都可以变成“名词+be+动词过去分词+介词”的形式吗?
make reference to的被动不能写成 “be made reference to”

答案

两者的差距的确是主动与被动的区别
但是不是所有的这类词组都能这样改
take part in就不能
