二、定语从句考点精讲:
定语从句考点1、定语从句的基本概念
1.定语从句起形容词的作用,在句中修饰一个名词或代词。被修饰的名词叫做先行词,引导定语从句的词叫关系词,关系词分为关系代词和关系副词。
EG1:The man who is talking to our English teacher is Tom’s father.
2.关系词的作用:
①放在先行词与定语从句中间起了连接作用;
②在从句中担当一个成分,并与先行词保持数的一致;
③指代先行词的作用,关系代词的含义就是先行词的含义,关系副词的含义等于介词+先行词的含义。
EG2:This is the factory where(in which)his father once worked.
这是我父亲曾经工作的工厂。
【解析】关系词where/in which 除了连接主句“This is the factory”与从句“his father once worked”外,还在从句中作地点状语,而且指代先行词,相当于in the factory.
EG3:We should do all that is useful to the people.
我们应该做一切有益于人民的事情。
【解析】关系词that除了连接主句“We should do all”和从句“is useful to the people”外,还在从句中作主语,而且指代先行词all。
3.限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。
EG4: Her brother who is now a soldier always encourages her to go to college.
【限制性定语从句】
她那当兵的哥哥总是鼓励她上大学。 (隐含意思:或许不止一个哥哥)
EG5:Her brother, who is now a soldier, always encourages her to go to college.
【非限制性定语从句】
她哥哥是当兵的,他总是鼓励她上大学。(隐含意思:她只有一个哥哥)
注意:
①限制性定语从句与主句之间没有逗号分开,非限制性定语从句与主句之间有逗号分开。有无逗号是区分它们的标志。
②注意定语从句的翻译:限制性定语从句翻译成“......的......”; 而非限制性定语从句翻译成两个句子。
③限制性定语从句是对现行词的修饰和限定,作宾语的关系代词可以省略;而非限制性定语从句是对先行词的补充和说明,关系词不可以省略。
