Réponse :

On ne réuttilise pas "some people" qui est sous entendu à la forme passive

Explications :
Différence « be said to » et « be supposed to »
Lorsqu’il s’agit d’une idée reçue, d’un stéréotype on utilise : be said to Pour parler de ce que quelqu’un est censé faire, ce que l’on s’attend à ce qu’il fasse : be supposed to
- Les deux ( "be said to" et "be supposed to" ) on une construction passive:
sujet + be said to + base verbale
sujet + be supposed to + base verbale
- ne pas oublier de conjuguer "be" à la bonne personne et au bon temps.
