表语从句 (The Predicative Clause)
⼀ 、表语从句的定义:
表语从句就是⽤⼀个句⼦作为表语, 放在连系动词之后, 充当复合句中的表语, ⽤来说明主语是什么或者怎么样。 The problem is puzzling. 主语连系动词形容词作表语
The problem is when we can get a pay rise.
主语连系动词⼀个句⼦作表语---表语从句
⼆ 、表语从句的构成: 系动词+ 引导词+简单句
What I want to say is that I am tired.
三、表语从句的⽤法
1.可接表语从句的连系动词有:
1). 最常⽤连系动词: be(am; is/was; are/were)。⼀般在句⼦中译成:“是 …”
China is no longer what she used to be.
2). 表变化的系动词:get; turn; go; fall; become; grow; come; run。
⽤法注意:在英语中, 系动词⼀般只有⼀般现在时和⼀般过去时两种时态变化形式, 没有其他时态变化形式。但表变化的这类 系动词除外, 它们有各种时态变化。
It is becoming colder and colder. The food has gone bad.
此处还需注意的是become和turn后接表职业的名词时冠词的有⽆:
Two years later, he became a teacher.
但Two years later, he turned teacher.
另外, go表变化时⼀般指事情向消极、不好的⽅⾯转化。
3). 所谓“感官动词”:look; sound; ta ste; smell; feel⼀般它们在句⼦中译成:“…起来; …
上去”。此类系动词为⾼考⾼频词。
The food tasted good. ⾷物尝起来很⾹。
He looked sadly at the picture. / She looked sad after hearing the news.
Tom tasted the food and it tasted good.
4). 表状态的系动词: keep; stay; remain; ⼀般在句⼦中译成:“依然是;保持”
She remains loyal to her father despite his cruelty towards her.
What a lovely day today! I love fine weather and I hope it will stay fine for some days.
Much remains to be done.
5). 表像系动词:seem; appear。⼀般在句⼦中译成:“看起来像”、“似乎”、“好像”。
这两个动词有⼀个共同的特点, 即如果要表达时态的变化, 需要后接不定式来完成。
He seemed to have caught cold.
It appears to me that he wants to teach us all he has.
When Father came in, Tom seemed to be eating something.
另外此处⼀句型转换也要牢记:
It seemed that he had caught cold.
When Father came in, it seemed that Tom was eating something.
6). 终⽌系动词: prove;turn out。⼀般在句⼦中译成:“证实、证明、结果为 …”
He proved (to be) right. / The experiment turned out successful.
2.引导表语从句的关联词的种类:
1)从属连词that , that在表语从句中不充当任何句⼦成分, 也没有任何意义。
The trouble is that I have lost his address.
2)从属连词whether, as, as if /as though引导的表语从句, 有⾃⼰的含义, 但在从句中并不充当语法成分。
3)because, why引导的表语从句, 有⾃⼰的含义, 但在从句中并不充当语法成分。
That's why he didn't understand me.
I think it is because you are doing too much.
注意:“That/It is because...”
