It's often used in the passive used the charges have been dropped against him, so you don't know exactly who has dropped the charges.

它经常用在被动句中，表示对他的指控已被撤销，所以你不知道到底是谁撤销了指控。

You often hear the passive used when people want to, you know, not make the deaths of people in a natural disaster seem as extreme, I guess.

当人们不想让在自然灾害中的死亡的人看起来很极端的时候，你经常听到被动的用法，我认为。
