专题01非限制性定语从句
(期中重点语法)
知识串讲
非限制性定语是对被修饰名词或代词的附加说明,它不是必需的,如果去掉,也不会影响句子的意思,它与被修饰名词之间通常用逗号分开。
如:The travellers, knowing about the floods, took another road. 游客们知道发了大水,都改道走了。
My gardener,who is very pessimistic,says that there will be no apples this year.
我家的园丁非常悲观,他说今年将不结苹果。
非限制性定语从句用法:
1、引导非限定性定语从句时,只能用which(不用that)。
例如:Heat is another form of energy, which is as important as other kinds of energy.
热是另一种形式的能量,与其他形式的能量一样重要。 (从句表补充说明,而且关系代词which不能换成that。)
2、引导非限定性定语从句的which可以指代前面的先行词,也可以指前面整个句子的含义。
例如:That Peter will marry Alice, which has not been announced yet, has spread around.
彼特要娶爱丽斯这件事还没宣布,却已传得沸沸扬扬。(句子中的which指“彼特要娶爱丽斯”这整个句子的意思。)
3、除which外,还可用when,where,who等关系代、副词引导非限定性定语从句。
whom引导的非限制性定语从句。
关系代词whom用于指人,在句中作动词宾语和介词宾语,作介词宾语时,介词可位于句末。
如:Peter, whom you met in London, is now back in Paris.
彼得现在回巴黎了,你在伦敦见过他。
whose引导的非限制性定语从句。
whose是关系代词who的所有格形式,在从句中作定语。whose通常指人,也可指动物或无生命的事物。
如:The boy, whose father is an engineer, studies very hard.
那位小男孩学习很努力,他的父亲是位工程师。
who引导的非限制性定语从句
Our guide,who was a French Canadian,was an excellent cook.
我们的向导,一个法裔加拿大人,擅长于烹调。
when引导的非限制性定语从句。
关系副词引导的非限制性定语从句
when, where在非限制定语从句中分别作时间状语和地点状语;why不用于非限制性定语从句中,用for which 代替。
In China, the spring festival is a good holiday when family members get together.
The southern states wanted to set up a country of their own, where they would be free to keep black slaves.
I had told them the reason, for which I didn't attend the meeting.
I had told them the reason why I didn't attend the meeting.
4、在限定性定语从句中作宾语时,引导词可以省略,但引导非限定性定语从句的关联词不能省。
如:He was eager to go to the hospital to see his stepmother, whom he loved and respected as his own mother.
他急于想去医院看望他的继母,他把他的继母当作亲生母亲一样热爱和尊敬。
The American journalist(whom/who) the announcer mentioned in the news broadcast is said to have been killed by the gangsters.
播音员在新闻广播中提到的那位美国记者据说已经被匪徒杀害了。
两例中的关系代词都在从句中作宾语。由于第二例是限定性定语从句,可以省略关系代词;第一例中的引导词不能省略,因为它引导的是非限定性定语从句。
5、表示“正如”的含义时,通常用as引导非限定性定语从句,也可用which引导;但置于句首时,只能用as引导。
如:Chi
