观察句子

2.This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again.
3.These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish, some of which feed on insects that can harm the rice crops.

我的领悟
1.“介词+关系代词”中的关系代词可以是which或whom,指人用whom,如句1;指物用which,如句2,3,4。
2.介词的判断可以根据固定短语,如句1中的短语be home to。
一、基本形式
1.“介词+which/whom”既可引导限制性定语从句,也可引导非限制性定语从句;先行词指物时,关系代词用which;先行词指人时,关系代词用whom;在限制性定语从句中,关系代词作宾语可以省略,但当介词放在关系代词之前时,关系代词不能省略。
①Do not refuse to help those with whom you are not familiar.
不要拒绝帮助你不熟悉的人。
②He bought the car for more than $20,000, with which his father was angry.

③She still remembers the day on which she won the prize.
她仍然记得她获奖的那一天。
④The man with whom she entered the hall was her husband.
和她一起走进大厅的那位男士是她的丈夫。
微点 (1)在限制性定语从句中,若介词不提前,位于定语从句的末尾时,引导词that/which/who/whom作介词的宾语时可以省略。
①This is the boy (that/whom/who) his parents are proud of.
这就是父母引以自豪的那个男孩。
②This is the pen (that/which) I wrote my homework with.
这就是我写作业用的那支钢笔。
(2)在非限制性定语从句中,“介词+关系代词”中的介词不能移到从句的后面。
2.“the+名词+of which/whom”结构引导的定语从句,一般为非限制性定语从句。该结构中的名词和后面的关系代词为所属关系。
①The newly⁃built café, the walls of which are painted light green, is really a peaceful place for us, especially after hard work.
新建成的咖啡馆,墙被刷成了浅绿色,对我们来说真是一个安静的去处,特别是在辛苦工作后。
②This is the book, the cover of which is designed by Mr. Jones.

3.“表示全部或部分的词语+of which/whom”结构引导的定语从句。常见的表示部分的词或结构有:不定代词(all, both, none, some, most, several等);数词(基数词、序数词、百分数、分数);the+形容词最高级/比较级。
