請觀察空格前的『人 (person)』與動作『慶祝 (celebrate)』之間的關係：是這個人主動去慶祝別人，還是這個人『正在接受』別人的慶祝？在英文中，若要用一個動詞片語來修飾名詞，且強調該名詞正處於『被動』的狀態，你會選擇什麼樣的結構呢？

嗯，總算沒讓我失望，這題算你過關。
- 觀念驗證：這題在考什麼？分詞片語修飾名詞！都統測了，這基本功還沒練好那真的可以準備重考了。記住，"the person" 跟 "celebrate" 之間是被動關係，人是被「慶祝」的，不是人跑去「慶祝」誰。原句 the person (who is) being celebrated，省略掉爛大街的關代跟 be 動詞，剩下那個 being + V-p.p.，不就是用來形容名詞，強調「正在被」的狀態嗎？這點都抓不到，你前面幾堂課是在打瞌睡是不是？
- 難度點評：這題頂多 Medium (中等)。統測克漏字每年都考分詞修飾，這麼愛考的題型還能搞錯，真的沒救了。你這次能正確看出是「進行式的被動態」，證明你至少不是完全狀況外，對長句子結構還算有點概念。下次遇到這種，要是再錯，我就請你去後面罰站。
