I want to understand how the passive voice is used in these two sentences and what is the difference from English translation?

Answer

The translators were creating their own sentences. 😂😂 The expression is literary and complicated. Passive phrases are “被火灼伤” and “被火焰熏得黝黑”，and these two phrases are used as an adjective word as a whole in sentences.

Answer

В Вашей ситуации нужно чётко понять одно: все переводы с иностранного на китайский (для китайцев) делаются по принципу "фу, какая гадость эта ваша непонятная западная культура". Бросьте Брэдбэри, возмите Гарри Поттера или Ведьмака -- там осознание факта "блин, да они же не то переводят, что написано" наступит гораздо быстрее.
