Recipient

接受者

A term used by some linguists as part of the grammatical or semantic analysis of a sentence in terms of cases or participant roles: it usually refers to the animate being passively implicated by the happening or state expressed by the verb. It is typically the role of the indirect object, but other elements may act as recipient. Alternative terms include patient, dative and affected, but different approaches vary in their use of these terms.

有的语言学家在按格或参与角色对句子作语法或语义分析时，通常用来指动词表示的动作或状态涉及的被动的有生者。接受者一般是直接宾语的角色，但其它成分也可充当，可替换术语有受事、与格、承事，但不同的理论对这些术语的用法不尽一致。
