要掌握“介詞十關(guān)系代詞”所引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句,我們要注意以下三點(diǎn):
一、關(guān)系代詞的選用 在介詞后作賓語(yǔ)的關(guān)系代詞一般只有which和whom。如先行詞是物,引導(dǎo)詞用which;如先行詞是人,則引導(dǎo)詞用whom。如:This is the ship by which I went to Shanghai. 這是我去上海所乘坐的船。

二、介詞的選用 “介詞十關(guān)系代詞”中的介詞主要有以下三種確定方法:
1. 根據(jù)定語(yǔ)從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞或形容詞來(lái)選用介詞。如:
The fellow to whom I spoke made no answer at first. 我給說(shuō)話的那個(gè)人起先沒(méi)有回答。(speak to)
The West Lake, for which Hangzhou is famous, is a beautiful place. 西湖是個(gè)美麗的地方,杭州以此而聞名。(be famous for)
2.根據(jù)先行詞來(lái)確定介詞。如:In his room, we saw a big table on which there were all kinds of books. 在他的屋子里,我看見一張上面放著各種書的大桌子。(on the table)
Yesterday we had a meeting at which we discussed many problems. 昨天我們開了一個(gè)會(huì),會(huì)上我們討論了許多問(wèn)題。(at the meeting)
