定语从句
定语从句
1.定语从句的分类
定语从句有限制性和非限制性两种:
限制性定语从句是先行词不可缺少的部分,去掉它主句意思往往不明确;
非限制性定语从句是先行词的附加说明,去掉了也不会影响主句的意思,它与主句之间通常用逗号分开。
例:This is the house which we bought last month. (限制性)这是我们上个月买的房子。
The house, which we bought last month, is very nice. (非限制性)我们上个月买的房子很漂亮。
(1)当先行词是专有名词或有物主代词和指示代词所修饰时,其后的定语从句通常是非限制性的。
例: Charles Smith, who was my former teacher, retired last year.查尔斯·史密斯,我以前的老师,去年退休了。
My house, which I bought last year, has got a lovely garden.我去年买的房子有一个可爱的花园。
This novel小说, which I have read three times, is very touching.这本小说我读了三遍,很感人。
(2)非限制性定语从句还能将整个主句作为先行词,对其进行修饰,这时从句谓语动词要用第三人称单数。
例: He seems not to have grasped what I meant, which这 greatly. 他似乎没有理解我的意思
Liquid water changes to vapor, which这 is called evaporation.液态水变成蒸汽,这被称为蒸发。
2.定语从句的关系词
关系代词引导的定语从句
关系代词所代替的先行词是人或物的名词或代词,并在句中充当主语、宾语、定语等成分。关系代词在定语从句中作主语时,从句谓语动词的人称和数要和先行词保持一致。
先行词就是定语从句前面那个被修饰的词,通常是个名词或代词
(1)who,whom,that这些词代替的先行词是人的名词或代词,在从句中所起作用如下:
例: Is he the man who / that wants to see you?他就是那个想见你的人吗?
He is the man (who/ whom/ that) I saw yesterday.他就是我昨天见到的那个人。
(2) which, that它们所代替的先行词是事物的名词或代词,在从句中可作主语、宾语等。
例: A prosperity which/that had never been seen before appeared in the countryside农村.农村出现了前所未有的繁荣。
The package (which/that) you are carrying is about to come unwrapped.你携带的包裹即将被拆开。
(3)whose用来指人或物,(只用作定语,若指物,它还可以同of which互换)。
例: They rushed over to help the man whose car had broken down.他们冲过去帮助那个汽车抛锚的人。
Please pass me the book whose (of which) cover is green.请把封面是绿色的那本书递给我。
(4)as
1、与such,the same...as和as连用,意为“像......一样的,同......一类的”。
例: I live in the same place as Tom does.我和汤姆住在同一个地方。
He' s not such a fool as he looks.他不像看上去那么傻。
He smokes as expensive昂贵的 a cigarette as he can afford买得起.他抽得起最贵的烟。
2、单独用作关系代词,意为“正如”,可放在主句之前、之后或中间,且主从句之间一般要用逗号隔开。
例: As we know, smoking is harmful to one's health.正如我们知道的,吸烟有害健康。
As is known, smoking is harmful有害的 to one's health.众所周知,吸烟有害健康。
关系副词引导的定语从句
关系副词可代替的先行词是时间、地点或理由的名词,在从句中作状语。
(1) when, where, why
关系副词when,where,why的含义相当于“介词+which”结构,因此常常和“介词+which”结构交替使用。
例: There are occasions…的时候 when (on which) one must yield.有时人必须得让步
Beijing is the place where (in which)I was born.北京是我出生的地方。
Is this the reason why (for which) he refused拒绝 our offer?这就是他拒绝我们报价的原因吗?
“介词+关系词”引导的定语从句
(1)介词后面的关系词不能省略。
(2)“介词+关系词”引导定语从句时,若指人,则用介词+whom;若指物,则用介词+which。
例:My cousin is a person with whom I can discuss讨论 my homework.我表哥是一个可以和我讨论作业的人。
The West Lake, for which Hangzhou is famous, is a beautiful place.杭州以西湖而闻名,西湖是一个美丽的地方。
关系代词that的用法
1.不用that的情况:
(1)在引导非限制性定语从句时。
例: The tree, which is four hundred years old, is very famous here.这棵有四百年历史的树在这里很有名。
(2)介词后不能用。
例: We depend on the land from which we get our food.
We depend on the land that/which we get our food from.
2.只能用that作为定语从句关系代词的情况:
(1)先行词为all,everything,anything,nothing,little,much等不定代词时;
(2)先行词被all,any,every,each, much, little, no,some,few等修饰时;
(3)先行词有形容词最高级和序数词修饰时;
(4)先行词既指人又指物时;
(5)先行词被the only,the very修饰时;
(6)句中已经有who或which,为了避免重复时。
例: All that is needed is a supply of oil.
Finally, the thief handed everything that he had stolen to the police.
