   • 1938, Thạch Lam, “Nắng trong vườn”, inBắt đầu:

     Loan bực tức vìbị để ra ngoài một câu chuyện quan trọng.

     Loan was angry because shewas left out of something important.

   • 1936,Vũ Trọng Phụng, chapter 2, inSố đỏ, Hà Nội báo:

     Ông quản than thở một cách rền rĩ: / – Chúng tabị phạt nhiều quá. / Thầy min đơ nhắc lại, âu sầu: / – Thật vậy, chúng tabị nhiều quá.

     The manager complained pitifully: "Weare being fined too much." MrMille Deux repeated, morose, "That's true, weare [being fined] too much."

The particlebị indicates that the subject is negatively affected by what comes after thebị. This can be a noun or adjective (bị bệnh "to be ill") or a phrase (bị con chó cắn "to be bitten by a dog"). In the second case, this construction is equivalent to the passive voice; it is however only used when the subject is negatively affected (otherwiseđược is used).
