一个中译英的句子，虽然有些含义没有全部表达出来，但总的来说，翻译得很工整。通过学习这个句子，可以熟练掌握动词drive主动和被动的主要用法。前半句使用的是drive的现在分词形式，表示主动“驾驭”（To guide, control, or direct）的含义；后半句使用的是这个动词的过去分词形式，表示被动的“被驱使”（To be forced into or from a particular act or state）。
按照单纯的语法规则理解，整个句子不是一个完整句，如果想要添加主语和谓语动词，这个句子也可以是：
I'm not driving but driven in such a world. 我……身不由己。
We're not driving but driven in such a world. 我们……身不由己。
She is not driving but driven in such a world.她……身不由己。
They are not driving but driven in such a world.他们……身不由己。
