浅谈定语从句
以省略。例如:
The man(that)you got the news from is a friend of mine.告诉你这个消息的人是我的朋友。
Is that the car(which)you want to buy?那就是你所要买的汽车吗?
This is the little boy(whom)Comrade Li saved yesterday.这就是李同志昨天救的那个小男孩。
二、关系代词whom, which在定语从句里作介词的宾语时,介词一般放在先行词与关系代词之间。例如:
I want to make some friends from whom I can learn a lot.我想交几个朋友,从他们那儿我可以学许多东西。
但是,有时介词也可以放在宾语从句的后面,特别是在省略了关系代词时,介词必须放在定语从句的后面。例如:
The room which(that)we live in is very bright.
The room we live in is very bright.我们住的那间房间很明亮。
三、关系代词which有时指整个前面一句话。这时关系代词前面有逗号,定语从句是附加的说明;which的意思相当于and this。例如:
Tom said he didn’t know anything about Kate, which was a lie.汤姆说他对凯特的情况一无所知,这是撒谎。
The worker didn’t do any work,which made his boss very angry.那个工人什么活也没干,这令老板非常生气。
四、关系副词where, when和why在定语从句中分别作地点状语、时间状语和原因状语。
1.where指地点,在定语从句中作状语,相当于in等+which。例如:
This is the workshop where(=in which)I work.这是我工作的车间。
A booking office is a place where(=in which)tickets are sold.售票处就是卖票的地方。
2.when指时间,在定语从句中作状语。例如:
He came at a time when we needed help.他在我们需要人帮忙的时候来到了。
3.why指原因、理由,在定语从句中作原因状语。例如:
The reason(why)he changed his mind is not clear.他改变主意的原因尚不清楚。下面再略谈一谈限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。限制性定语从句是先行词不可缺少的定语,如果省去,主语的意思就会不完整或不明确。这种从句和主句之间不能用逗号分开。非限制性定语从句,只是对先行词的附加说明,如果省去,主句的意思仍然很清楚,它和主句之间常用逗号分开。试比较下列句子:
(1)I have a brother who is a doctor.我有一个当医生的兄弟。(意思是我还有其他兄弟)(限制性定语从句)
(2)I have a brother, who is a doctor.我有一个兄弟,是个医生。(意思是我只有一个兄弟)(非限制定语从句)
[注1]在非限制性定语从句里不宜用关系代词that。因此,凡是that所引导的定语从句,一般都是限制性定语从句。例如:
误:She gave me some flowers, that were very beautiful.
正:She gave me some flowers, which were very beautiful.(非限制性定语从句)
正:She gave me some flowers that(wh 《浅谈定语从句》
