Because the normal word order is reversed in passive sentences, they are sometimes hard to follow.

由于正常语序在被动句中被颠倒过来了，所以有时很难理解。

《柯林斯英汉双解大词典》

Passive faith says, "I believe it!" Every word of God is true.

消极的信心说：“我相信，神的话句句都真。”

The sense of panic you mention could be diminished, or dispelled, if you recognize thateven if you're not saying a word, your role here isn't a passive one.

如果你能认识到，即便自己不发一言，你也并非在扮演被动的角色，那么，你所提到的那种恐慌感便会减少甚至消失。

youdao

I want you to take rather than passive notes of writing down what is on the power point or every word that I say.

我不希望你们被动地记录,幻灯片上的内容或者我说的话。
