关系代词which用法说明1.既可引导限制性定语从句,也可用作非限制性定语从句。
如:This is the photo (that) I took. 这就是我拍的照片。
The river, which flows through London, is called the Thames. 这条流经伦敦的河叫泰晤士河。
2. which引导定语从句时,它在从句中主要用作主语或宾语,但有时也可用作定语,在意义上大致相当于this或that。
如:We told him to consult the doctor, which advice he took. 我们叫他去看医生,他听取了我们的劝告。
He is studying economics, which knowledge is very important today. 他学经济学,这种知识现今很重要。
注意,它与用作定语的关系代词whose用法不同——whose引导定语从句时,它在意义上大致相当于one’s。
如:Wolves are highly social animals whose success depends upon cooperation. 狼是高度群体化的动物,它们的成功依赖于合作。
3.关系代词which原则上只指物,不指人;指人要用who。
但是,有时指的不是具体的某人,而是指人的属性(如职业、身份、地位、职务、品质、特征等),则要用which 而不用who。
如:He talked like a scholar, which he was not. 他说起话来像个学者,其实他没什么学问。
She talked like a native, which she hardly was. 她说起话来像是个本地人,其实她不见得是。
They accused him of being a traitor, which he was. 他们指控他是叛徒,他真是叛徒。
4.注意不要一看到句前有逗号,就以为一定要用which来引导非限制性定语从句。
如以下几句逗号后的that均不能换成which(原因是逗号前的句子为状语从句):If a book is in English, that means slow progress for you. 如果一本书是用英语写的,那就意味着你要读慢些。
If he’s only interested in your looks, that just shows how shallow he is. 如果他只对你的相貌感兴趣,那就说明他相当浅薄。
When I say two hours, that includes time for eating. 我说两小时,那是包括了吃饭的时间。
5.比较下面两句,第一句用了连词but,其后用them;第二句没用连词but,其后用which:She wrote a lot of novels, but none of them were popular.=She wrote a lot of novels, none of which were popular. 她写过许多本小说,但没有一本是受欢迎的。
6.有时可以见到“介词+关系代词+不定式”这样的结构(可视为一种紧缩的定语从句)。
比较:She must have time in which to grow calm.=She must have time in which she can grow calm. 她必须有冷静下来时的时间。
She had some money in the bank, with which to help her mother.=She had some money in the bank, with which she could help her mother. 她银行里有些钱用来帮助她的母亲。
值得指出的是,这类结构中的介词不能没有,并且该介词也不能位于不定式后面,比较:There the children had a garden in which to play.(很正式)There the children had a garden in which they could play.(较正式)There the children had a garden to play in.(较口语化)在那儿孩子们有个可以玩耍的花园。
但是不能说:There the children had a garden which to play in.7.有时可见到由which引导的非限制性定语从句单独成句。
如:Mary is enormously respected. Which is not to say you are not an exceptionally able lady. 玛丽非常受尊重,但这并是说你不是一位极为能干的女士。
st of them与most of which的区别在哪请看下面的题,是填them还是which:He wrote a lot of novels, most of _________ were popular.A. themB. whom D. that D. which【分析】此题最佳答案为D,但很容易误选A。
假若单独看He wrote a lot of novels 和Most of them were popular 这两句话,它们并不错,但将它们放在一起用逗号连接就不甚妥当了。
因为,英语句子按其结构来划分,可分为简单句、并列句、复合句和并列复合句四种,也就是说,一个规范的英语句子,从结构上说,它必须隶属以上四类句型之一。
但上面一题若选A,则它既不是简单句(因为它有两个主谓结构),也不是并列句(因为它没有并列连词),也不是复合句(因为它没有主从句之分),当然它更不是并列复合句,所以选A是错误的。
可以选D,是因为空白处填了which 之后,后一句即成了一个非限制性的定语从句,前一句即为主句,整个句子即为一个复合句。
比较以下各句:(1) He wrote a lot of books, and most of them were popular.句中用了并列连词,整个句子为并列句。
(2) He wrote a lot of books, most of which were popular.后一句用了which,使之成为定语从句,整个句子为复合句。
(3) He wrote a lot of books, most of them being popular.后一句用了非谓语动词being,故逗号处不用并列连词,整个句子为简单句。
关系副词where用法归纳关系副词when主要用于修饰表示地点的名词,同时它在定语从句中用作时间状语。
如:This is the village where he was born. 这就是他出生的村子。
That’s the hotel where we were staying last summer. 这就是我们去年夏天住的旅馆。
Barbary was working in Aubury, where she went daily in a bus. 巴巴拉在奥伯里工作,每天得坐公共汽车去上班。
与前面when的情况一样,注意不要一见到先行词为地点名词,就以为一定要用关系副词where来引导定语从句,同时还要看它在定语从句中充当什么成分——如果在定语从句中用作地点状语,就用where;如果在定语从句中不是用作时间状语,而是用作主语或宾语,那就不能用where,而要用that, which等。
如:He works in a factory that [which] makes TV sets. 他在一家电视机厂工作。
关系代词that / which在定语从句中用作主语。
另外注意,where有时还可用于抽象名词后引导定语从句。
如:We have reached a point where a change is needed. 我们到了必须改一改的地步。
There are cases where the word “mighty” is used as an adverb. 在一些情况下,mighty一词可用作副词。
He got into a situation where it is hard to decide what is right and wrong. 他陷入一种难以分辨是非的局面。
I don’t want a job where I’m chained to a desk al l day. 我不想找一份整天坐办公桌前的工作。
of whom和of which用法归纳1. of表示同位关系:即用于在A+of+B结构,其中的A和B为同位关系。
如:Her sons, both of whom work abroad, ring her up every week. 她的两个儿子,都在国外工作,他们每周都给她打电话来。
We’ve tested three hundred types of boot, none of which is completely waterproof. 我们已经测试过300种靴子,没有一种是完全防水的。
2. of表示整体与部分的关系:即用于“部分+of+整体(which, whom)”结构。
如:He went with a group of people, few of whom were correctly equipped for such a climb. 他和一队人一起去了,其中没有几个人配有进行这样一次登山的适当装备。
The buses, most of which were already full, were surrounded by an angry crowd. 公共汽车大多数都已经挤满了人,它们被愤怒的人群包围着。
I met the fruit-pickers, several of whom were university students. 我遇到了摘水果的人们,其中有几个人是大学生。
3. of表示所属关系:即of用于构成所有格。
如:He’s written a book the name of which I’ve forgotten. 他写了一本书,书名我给忘了。
The house the roof of which was damaged has now been repaired. 那幢屋顶被损坏的房子现在已经修好了。
4. of与其他的词构成固定搭配:即of与从句中的某个词语构成固定搭配。
