名词性从句
第一部分:语法讲解
名词从句是指在句子中起名词作用的各种从句。根据它们在句子中所起的作用不同,名词从句可以分为主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句和同位语从句。
如:That the earth is round is a fact.
I don’t know if he needs my help.
I don’t know where he went.
2.主语从句
1)主语从句在句中作主语。
如:Whether he will accept the invitation is not clear.他是否会接受邀请还不清楚。
When he left is unknown.他什么时候离开还不知道。
That he will come to the discussion is certain.他来参加讨论是肯定无疑的。
2)主语从句放在句首,句子常常显得比较笨重,因此常把它移至句子末尾,而用it作形式上的主语。
如:It is strange that she did not come yesterday. 很奇怪,她昨天没有来。
It has not been announced when the plane is to take off.飞机何时起飞还没有宣布。
It is a pity that Mr.Brown can’t attend our English meeting.真可惜,布朗先生不能出席我们的英语晚会。
3)有些用“it”作形式主语的主语从句结构已形成固定的用法。
a)It is +名词+从句
如:It is a fact that…事实是……
It is common knowledge that………是常识
b)It is +形容词+that从句
如:It is necessary that…有必要……
It is likely that…有可能……
It is important that…重要的是……
c)It is +过去分词+从句
如:It is said that…据说……
It is reported that …据报道……
It is well known that…众所周知……
It is estimated that…据估计……
d)It +不及物动词+从句
如:It seems that …好像……
It happened that…碰巧……
如:It is estimated that millions of galaxies exist in the vast space outside the Milk Way.据估计,在银河系之外的辽阔星空中存在着千百万个星系。
3.表语从句
表语从句在句中作表语,它位于主句中的连系动词后面。结构:主语+连系动词+表语从句。常用的这类连系动词be, seem, remain, look等。
如:The question is whether we can finish our work by tomorrow evening.问题在于我们能不能在明天晚上以前完成这项工作。
That is why she had a day-off yesterday.这就是她昨天请假的原因。
Things are not always as they seem to be.事情并不总是如其表象。
It looked as if it is going to snow.看起来要下雪了。
It may be because he is too young.这可能是因为他太年轻了。
4.宾语从句:宾语从句可以作谓语动词的宾语,也可以作介词和非限定动词(动词不定式、动名词、分词)和某些形容词的宾语。
1)作动词的宾语
如:I know that he is friendly and hospitable.我知道他很友好而且好客。
I asked him if he is sure he knows what he is doing? 我问他是否确信知道自己在做什么?
2)作介词宾语
如:He was interested in whatever he saw here.他对在那里看到的无论什么都感兴趣。
I know nothing about the matter except what you told me.除你告诉我的情况以外,对此事我一无所知。
注:“介词+it+that”结构中,it 可以看成是that 从句的先行词。
如:You may depend on it that they will support you.你放心,他们会支持你的。
I’ll see to it that everything is ready in time.我将负责按时做好一切准备。
3)作形容词的宾语
从句可作有些形容词的宾语。如:sure, certain, glad, sorry, happy, afraid, pleased, surprised等。如:I am sure that she will come and join us.我相信她会来参加我们的活动。
I am not certain whether the train will arrive on time.我没有把握火车是否会准点到达。
He is pleased that he has passed a tough test.他很高兴他通过了很难的测试。
注:
a)在口语和非正式文体中,that 在引导宾语从句时,可以省去。
如:They say (that)he is much better.他们说他好多了。
I am afraid (that) he forgot about it.我恐怕他忘得一干二净了。
b)如果宾语从句后面有补语,要用形式宾语it来代替,而将从句放在补语后面去。
如:He has made it clear that the meeting will not be postponed.他说得很清楚这个会议将不推迟。
We think it wrong that he didn’t help her.我们觉得他不帮助她是不对的。
c)如果主句的谓语是过去时,宾语从句的时态要调整成相应的时态。但是如果宾语从句表示
