A Revision About Attributive Clause
定語從句要點(diǎn)回顧
I 定語從句的定義
在復(fù)合句中,修飾名詞或者代詞的從句叫定語從句。定語從句所修飾的詞叫做先行詞。如在課本中,(a)The man who lives next to us sells vegetable. (b) You must do everything that I can do. 斜體部分是先行詞。黑體部分是定語從句。第一句中定語從句修飾的是“the man ”這個(gè)名詞,而在第二句當(dāng)中修飾的是“everything”這個(gè)代詞。其中,“who”和“that”叫做關(guān)系代詞。應(yīng)到定語從句的詞有關(guān)系代詞that, which, who, whom, whose 和關(guān)系副詞where, when, why. 同時(shí)“as”也經(jīng)常充當(dāng)關(guān)系代詞,引導(dǎo)定語從句。
II 關(guān)系代詞that, which, who(whom)引導(dǎo)的定語從句(基本例句見課本)
1,其中that, who(whom),都可以指人,那么他們?cè)谥溉藭r(shí)有什么區(qū)別呢。[本條記憶技巧:用who 不用 that 的情況 “there be” “one,ones,anyone,nobody, those ” 被分割。***那里有(there)很多萬(one)被那些人(those)分割。]
<1>先行詞為those, one, anyone, nobody 等詞時(shí),用who不用that,例如:The one who knows me well is Tom.
<2>在分隔型定語從句中,若先行詞是人,用 who不用that, 例:
A new teacher will come who will teach you German.
在本句中,先行詞“teacher”和修飾限定它的從句 “who will teach you German ” 分離,所以我們用 who 不用 that。
<3>先行詞為“there be”結(jié)構(gòu)的主語時(shí),例如
There is a man who wants to see you.
在本句子當(dāng)中a man是There is a man 這句當(dāng)中的主語,所以用who不用that
2其中,that 和 which 都可以指物,它們?cè)谥肝飼r(shí)的區(qū)別:
(1) 用that不用which
<1>先行詞前有形容詞最高級(jí),序數(shù)詞,all, every, little, no, any, much, the only, the very, the last 等修飾時(shí),例如:
I have read all the books that you gave me.
<2>先行詞為all, few, nothing, everything, little, much 等不定代詞時(shí):
He did all that he could do to help us.
<3>主語以who或which開頭時(shí)
Who is the man that just called you just now?
<4>關(guān)系代詞在從句中做表語時(shí)
China is not the country that is was.
<5>既指人又指物時(shí)
He talked about the teachers and schools that he had visited.
2, 先行詞表示物時(shí), 用which不用that 的情況
<1> 引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句時(shí),例如:
She heard a terrible noise, which brought her heart to her mouth.
<2>當(dāng)關(guān)系代詞做介詞賓語時(shí),例如:
He wrote a book in which he could learn about his life.
在上一例句中,引導(dǎo)詞 “which”作了介詞 “in”的賓語,所以不可以用 “that”代替.
III由whose, when, where why 等引導(dǎo)的定語從句可參考課本內(nèi)容。這里簡(jiǎn)單介紹一下非限制性定語從句和限制性定語從句。非限制性定語從句,從意義上來說,是對(duì)主語的補(bǔ)充說明,從結(jié)構(gòu)上來看,先行詞和定語從句之間用逗號(hào)隔開,He makes great progress in his English learning which makes his mother very happy.
IV 關(guān)于as
(1) 在一些結(jié)構(gòu),如“such …as” “the same…as” “as…as”等結(jié)構(gòu)中,定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞經(jīng)常要用到as,例如
This is not such a book as I expected.
(2) the same as和the same that 的區(qū)別。例句:
This is the same tool as I used last time.
This is the same tool that I used last time.
在例句中,第一句的意思是這個(gè)工具和我上次用的一樣,但是第二句的意思是這就是我上次用的工具
(3) as 和which 的比較
相同點(diǎn):兩者都可以引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句,先行詞都可以是整個(gè)句子,都可以在從句中做主語,賓語表語。
不同點(diǎn)<1>as 引導(dǎo)的從句可以放在句首和句尾,而which 引導(dǎo)的從句只可放在句尾。
<2>另外which 還有正如、正象的意思。
As Marx pointed out, labor created man himself.
當(dāng)先行詞,雖然表示時(shí)間地點(diǎn),但是引導(dǎo)詞在從句中不是做狀語時(shí),而是做賓語時(shí),不能用when, where引導(dǎo),而只能用that, which 等引導(dǎo)。比較以下兩個(gè)句字:
I will never forget the days when I first went to Beijing .
I will never forget the days that (which) we spent together.
