Ⅱ.语法突破——非限制性定语从句
非限制性定语从句对先行词起补充说明或描绘作用,如果省略,也不影响主句的意思,它与主句之间用逗号隔开。翻译时一般与主句译成并列形式。
They are coming back to us,which means that they have been refused elsewhere.
他们要回到我们这儿来,这意味着他们在别处遭到了拒绝。
限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句的区别:
限制性定语从句与先行词的关系较为密切,删除它后会影响整个句子的表达,不用逗号与主句分开,可用关系代词that;非限制性定语从句不可用关系代词that,先行词还可以是整个句子。试比较:
His father is not a man who speaks ill of others behind their backs.(限制性定语从句)
His father,who never speaks ill of others,is popular with his colleagues.(非限制性定语从句)
