定 语 从 句
一、基本概念: 定语: 定语从句:
Do you know the man who spoke at the meeting just now? That is the house where he lived ten years ago. 引导词:关系词
关系代词有:that, who, whom, whose, which; 在从句中充当: 关系副词有:when, where, why. 在从句充当: 先行词:
定语从句中引关系词的作用: 二、关系词的用法: (一)关系代词的用法:
1. He is the man lives next door. The train has just left is for Shenzhen.
2. The man ________ we have just seen is a famous writer. Where is the book ___________I bought last week? (二)关系副词的用法:
1. I still remember the time ________I first became a college student. Do you know the date __________Lincoln was born? (三) 使用关系副词应注意下列几点:
1. 这三个关系副词在意义上都相当于一定的介词+which结构: when = on (in, at, during…) + which; where = in (at, on…) + which; why = for which. 如:
I was in Beijing on the day when (=on which) he arrived. The office where (=in which) he works is on the third floor. This is the chief reason why (=for which) we did it.
2. 当先行词是表时间的time, day等和表地点的place, house等时,一定要注意分析从句的结构,如果缺少主语或宾语时,关系词应该用which或that, 缺少时间状语或地点状语时,才能用when或where,试比较:
I’ll never forget the day _________ my hometown was liberated.
I’ll never forget the days____________we spent together last summer. His father works in a factory____________radio parts are made. His father works in a factory______________makes radio parts. 三.限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句 1.限制性定语从句
This is the telegram which he refers to. Is there anything (that) I can do for you? 2.非限制性定语从句
This note was left by Tom, who was here a moment ago.
As a boy, he was always making things, most of which were electric.
引导非限制性定语从句的关系词有who, whom, whose, which, when 和 where不可以用that和why。 注意:
I told the story to John, who later did it to his brother. = I told the story to John, and he later told it to his brother.
Yesterday I happened to see John, who was eager to have a talk with you. = Yesterday I happened to see John and he was eager to have a talk with you. 4.先行词为整个主句或是主句中的一个部分,用which或as来引导。如: He passed the exam, which/as he hoped he would.
注:(1)as引导的从句可以放在主句之前、中、后,而which引导的从句只能放在主句之后。 They are hollow, which makes them very light. As is known to all, Taiwan is a part of China. (2)as常译成“就象… …那样”,正如…. as 的短语
As everybody knows, Luxun is a famous writer. Luxun, as everybody knows, is a famous writer.
as we all know , as often happens, as you see, as is known to all as is expected, as has been said before, as I can remember 四.关系词的选择
