She was born last year.

Literal

She [topic-は] last-year was-born.

生まれる is intransitive ('to be born'), so the Japanese carries no passive marking even though English requires 'was born.' This is a recurring structural mismatch: English packages 'be born' as the passive of 'bear,' while Japanese treats it as an event the subject undergoes on its own. The same pattern shows up with 死ぬ ('die'), 落ちる ('fall'), and other 自動詞 (intransitives) — the subject is affected without anyone acting on them, and no extra grammar is needed.
