The bureau did not explain why the date was chosen and declined to give further details on the investigation.请问这里的declined to用作被动,怎么理解呢,有没有相关的例句呢?decline 作为拒绝是,是不是和to连用的呢?

The bureau did not explain why the date was chosen and declined to give further details on the investigation.
请问这里的declined to用作被动,怎么理解呢,有没有相关的例句呢?
decline 作为拒绝是,是不是和to连用的呢?

这里declined是和前面的did not并列,而不是与chosen并列,所以不是被动,是主动.
当局没有解释为什么选择这一天, 而且拒绝透露调查的细节
补充:
作拒绝时,可以是及物也可以不及物
例子:
verb [I or T] FORMAL
to refuse:
I invited him to the meeting but he declined.
He declined my offer.
[+ to infinitive] They declined to tell me how they had got my address.
