问题: 英语

高中的英语我真的快晕了,尤其是语法中的定语从句了的连词,到底是怎么用的?????

解答:

定语从句关系词的选择

  定语从句由关系代词和关系副词引导,它们在定语从句中都充当一定的句子成份。引导定语从句的关系代词和关系副词主要有:who, whom ,whose, that, which, as, where, when, why。 它们的用法归纳如下:

  1. who ,whom 用来指人,who 在定语从句中作主语或宾语,whom 作宾语;但who不直接用在介词之后;who或whom作宾语时常常省略:

  He is the man who spoke at the meeting yesterday. 他就是昨天在会议上发言的人。(who在定语从句中作主语)

  He is the man (who/whom) you have been waiting for. 他就是你在等的人。(who或whom 在定语从句中作宾语,可以省略)

  He is the man to whom I lent the book yesterday. 我昨天把书借给了一个男子,这个男子就是他。(whom 置于介词之后,不能省略;不能用who)

  如果先行词是人,但句意强调的是其职业、身份、品格时,我们用which:

  She became a teacher, which her husband wanted her to be. 她成了教师,这正是她丈夫希望她从事的职业。

  2.whose 在从句中作定语,主要用于指人;也用于指事物,相当于of which,通常的词序是“名词或代词+of+which ”,例:

  The girl whose parents taught English at the Foreign Language College began learning English at the age of three. 那个姑娘三岁就开始学英语了,她的父母都在外语学院教英语。

  It was a meeting whose importance/the importance of which I didn't realize at that time. 这是一次重要的会议,它的重要性我那时候没有意识到。

  In Wasdale there is a mysterious lake, whose depth/ the depth of which has never been measured. 在华斯底芦有一个湖,它的深度从来没有测量过。

  3.which 和 that 主要用来指事物,常常可以互换:

  The letter which/that reached me yesterday is from my father.昨天的那封信是父亲写来的。

  Finally ,in 1903, he built a car which/that was light and fast e-nough to race against other cars.他在1903年终于造出了一辆很轻便的车,这辆车跑得很快,足以与其它车匹敌。

  但在下列情况下,一般用that:

  先行词为 all, little , much, few, anything, everything, much, one , none等,试看1991年6月六级考题第56题:

  Once they have fame, fortune, secure futures;      is utter poverty.

A) now that all is left B) now all that is left

C) now all which is left D) now all what is left

  这道题的答案是B,句子的意思是“他们一度有过声望、财产、和可靠的前途,而现在剩下的只是一贫如洗”。解答这道题的关键是区别B和C,先行词是all,故定语从句应由that,而不是由which来引导。又如:
Everything that is worth doing has been done .值得做的事情都做了。

  All that glitters is not gold.闪闪发光物,未必尽黄金。

  先行词被形容词最高级、序数词(包括first, last)修饰时:

  I consider it the most interesting novel that has ever been published by the publishing house. 我认为这是该出版社出版过的、最有趣味的小说。

  The first thing that Tom heard on Friday morning was a glad piece of news. 汤姆星期五早上听到的第一件事是个好消息。

  That is the last thing that I should expect him to do. 那是我最不愿意他做的事。

  先行词被 all, no,any, few, little, only, same, very 修饰时:

  She wore the same dress that she wore at Mary's wedding. 她穿着出席玛丽婚礼时穿的同一件衣服。

  He is the only man that can do it . 他是唯一能做此事的人。

  先行词所指既有人也有事物时:

  The scientist and his achievement that the teacher spoke of in his speech are admired by the students.老师在演讲中谈到了这位科学家和他的事迹,同学们都很敬佩。

  4. that 也作关系副词,常常用来修饰day, year, time, moment, speed, reason, place, direction, distance 等,有时候省略:

  This is the third week that they haven't come for the rubbish. 他们已经三周不来收垃圾了。

  This is the last time that I shall give you a lesson. 这是我最后一次给你们上课了。

  Do you know anywhere (that) I can get the ticket for the concert 你知道我在什么地方可以得到音乐会的票吗?

  The reason (that / why / for which) he changed the plan was unknown . 没人知道他改变计划的原因。

  但若先行词所指时间作主句的主语或动词的宾语时,用when更为常见:

  The days when she was young and beautiful are gone forever. 她年轻漂亮的时光已经一去不复返了。

  Do you remember one afternoon ten years ago when I came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklace 你还记得十年前的那个下午,我到你家去借了一条钻石项链吗?

  5.引导非限制性定语从句用which,who, whom,用 that 是很罕见的:

  She heard a terrible noise,     brought her into her mouth.

A) it B) which C) this D) that

  (全国高考,1991,B 对。)她听到一个可怕的声音,吓得胆战心惊。

  15.1.6 when ,where 和why 在从句中作状语,其含义相当于“介词+which”:

  This was the period when /during which he first began the research and studies. 这是他开始进行研究的时期。

  The office where /at which he used to work is now decorated beautifully . 他曾经工作过的办公室现在装修得很漂亮。

  Do you know the reason why the speed of the molecules is in-creased when heated 你知道为什么分子被加热时,它的速度会加快吗?

  注意如果表地点的先行词之前已有介词,应用where,而不用in which:

  The offices, laboratory, and museum are situated at(A) the top of the hill in which(B) they command(C) a fine view(D).(TOEFL:1976.11)

  (B错,应改为where)办公室、实验室和博物馆都坐落在山顶上,从那里可以俯瞰周围秀丽的景色。
