1.The universe works in a way so far removing from what common sense would allow that words of any kind must necessarily be in adequate to explain it.

我在牛津詞典里面找到如此的例句:

2.Many of these books are far removed from the reality of the children's lives.

為何這里例句2中用的是被動形式，而例句1卻不可以呢？

The universe works in a way so far removing from what common sense would allow that words of any kind must necessarily be in adequate to explain it.
—— removing from ...目前分詞短語作 way （方法）的定語，way 是分詞的邏輯主語。so far 修飾 removing，“宇宙用一種離得遠遠的知識的方法運行”。
Many of these books are far removed from the reality of the children's lives.
——被動語態be removed from...與......相去甚遠。so far 作狀語�？醋髦飨当硪部伞�
不同是：第一句 remove 不及物，等于move，第二句 remove 及物，等于separate。
