关于类basic_ostream的构造函数被申明成protected

basic_ostream有两个构造函数：
public：
      explicit
      basic_ostream(__streambuf_type* __sb)
      { this->init(__sb); }
protected：
      basic_ostream（）{this->init(0);}
 
在自己的类Trace中申明了
streambuf *streamBuffer_;
Trace::Trace(const ostream &out):
        streamBuffer_(out.rdbuf())
        {}
编译的时候报错了：
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.4.6/../../../../include/c++/4.4.6/ostream: In constructor 'Trace::Trace(const std::ostream&)':
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.4.6/../../../../include/c++/4.4.6/ostream:361: error: 'std::basic_ostream<_CharT, _Traits>::basic_ostream() [with _CharT = char, _Traits = std::char_traits<char>]' is protected
不懂怎么解决了，Trace的构造函数该怎么样申明？ 

非常感谢您的帮助！
