英语总结(十一)——定语从句Part1
定语从句
连接词
分类 | 关系代词 | 关系副词 |
---|---|---|
限制性定语从句 | that, which, who, whom, whose, as | when, where, why |
非限制性定语从句 | which, who, whom, whose, as | when, where |
限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句的区别
形式不同
限制性定语从句中主句和从句不用逗号隔开,口语中不停顿。
非限制性定语从句需要用逗号隔开,口语中停顿。
-例句
My sister who works in Shanghai sends me a e-mail almost every day.
我在上海工作的姐姐几乎每天都给我发电子邮件。(暗示我还有其他姐姐。)
My sister, who works in Shanghai, sends me an e-mail almost every day.
我的姐姐在上海工作,她几乎每天都给我发电子邮件。(暗示我只有一个姐姐。)
功能不同
限制性定语从句对先行词的意义进行修饰、限制和识别,如果去掉会使得句意发生变化,甚至不能成立。
非限制性定语从句对先行词起补充说明作用,如果省略对句意影响不大。
-例句
This is the place that/which she would like to visit.
这就是她想去游览的地方。
This is New York, which I have visited for several times.
这就是纽约,我来过这里好多次了。
翻译不同
一般把限制性定语从句翻译在他所修饰的先行词之前,而把非限制性定语从句与主句分开翻译。
-例句
He is the man whose car was stolen.
他就是那个汽车被偷的人。
I've invited Jim, who lives in the next flat.
我邀请了J, 他就住在隔壁。
先行词不同(重要)
限制性定语从句的先行词只能是名词或者代词。
当先行词为专有名词、独一无二的名词或者被物主代词修饰时,通常用非限制性定语从句。
非限制性定语从句的先行词可以是名词或代词,也可以是短语或者句子。
-例句
Paper cuts of animals have been found in tombs which date back to the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasty!
人们已经在早至南北朝时期的墓中发现了动物剪纸!(先行词是名词)
He was generous with time, for which I was grateful.
他十分慷慨地给予时间,为此我非常感激。(先行词是前面整个句子)
Charles Smith, who was my former teacher, retired last year.
C.S.去年退休了,他曾经是我的老师。(先行词是专有名词)
My house, which I bought last year, has got a lovely garden.我去年买的那幢房子带了个漂亮的花园。
关系代词的用法
关系代词指代的对象以及用法
关系代词 | 指代对象 | 在从句中的作用 |
---|---|---|
who | 人 | 作主语、宾语、表语 |
whom | 人 | 作宾语 |
whose | 人或事物 | 作定语 |
that | 人或事物 | 作主语、宾语、表语 |
which | 事物 | 作主语、宾语、表语 |
as | 人或事物 | 作主语、宾语、表语 |
注意事项:
- who/whom/that/which 在从句中作并宾语时可以省略。
- 当从句介词提前时,不可以用 who/that, 应该使用 whom/which。
... (关系代词的用法,平常较为熟练,这里只整理 as 相关的一些东西,其他笔者有时间再整理。)
as 的用法
as 引导限制性定语从句时主要用于 the same ... as ..., such ... as ..., as ... as ..., so ... as ... 结构中。as 在定语从句中既可以指人也可以指物,在从句中作主语、宾语、表语。as 还可以指代整个句子,引导非限制性定语从句。
