You will see and hear the passive voice in written and broadcast journalism, scientific writing and sometimes in formal letters.

在各种书面和广播新闻、科学写作中，甚至有时是在正式信件中，你都能看到被动语态。

And this is an example that we see a lot in academic and scientific writing where we turn verbs into nouns to talk about processes and this is called nominalisation.

这是我们在学术和科学写作中经常会看到的示例，我们把动词变成名词来谈论过程，这叫做名词化。

Now most scientific writing at this time was done in Latin so it wasn't that the names were in different languages but that different people called the same organism by different names.

现在大多数科学著作都是用拉丁文写成的，所以并不是名字用不同的语言，而是不同的人用不同的名字称呼同一个有机体。
