有一读者问：
(1)The butter sold in this shop is very well made.
(2)The picture is very well taken.
可以将其中very well移至句末吗？ 意思有什么不同吗？
状语very well在此表示方式。表示方式的副词在被动语态中可以放在过去分词之前，也可以放在过去分词之后，如：
(3)The point was well put.
(4)The point was put well .
二者在意义上无甚差别，只是侧重有所不同： 例（3）侧重动词put,例（4）则应重读well。但实际上，由于过去分词在人们心目中往往与形容词相仿，所以不少副词常被置于过去分词之前，例（1）与例（2）就是较常见的例子。另外再略举几例如下：
(5)It is very well done.
(6)He has been very kindly treated.
(7)It was all very quietly told.
但有时由于明显的原因，副词自应放在过去分词之后，如：
(8)They were treated unfairly as well as unwisely.
