“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句
要点一 关系代词作介词的宾语
为了使关系代词与先行词的关系更加紧凑, 可以将从句中的介词提到关系代词前, 形成“介词+关系代词”的结构。“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句时, 关系代词只能用which(指物)或whom(指人), 即“介词+which/whom”, 并且不能省略。
If you have anything on which you want my opinions, feel free to see me.
如果你们有什么事需要征求我的意见的话, 随时来找我。
This is the student for whom I bought a book.
这就是我给其买书的那个学生。
[名师点津]
有些“动词+介词”短语, 如look for、 look after、 call on等, 如果介词提前将会失去动词短语的意义, 所以不可把介词置于关系代词前。
Is this the book which she was looking for?
这就是她在找的那本书吗?
The babies whom the nurses are looking after are healthy.
护士们照看的婴儿都很健康。
要点二 关系副词when、 where、 why可用“介词+which”来代替
其中when=表时间的介词(如:in、at、during等)+which;where=表地点的介词(如:in、at、on、under等)+which;why=表原因的介词(for)+which。
1.当先行词表示时间, 定语从句中缺少时间状语时, 通常用关系副词when引导, 此时也可选用表示时间的介词+which 来代替关系副词when。
July and August are the months when(=in which) the weather is hot.
七、八月是天气很热的月份。
2.当先行词表示地点, 定语从句中缺少地点状语时, 通常用关系副词where引导, 此时也可选用表示地点的介词+which 来代替关系副词where。
Great changes have taken place in the city where(=in which) I was born.
我出生的那个城市已经发生了巨大的变化。
3.当先行词为reason, 定语从句中缺少原因状语时, 通常用关系副词why引导, 此时也可以用for which来代替why。
The reason why(=for which) he refused the invitation is not clear.
他拒绝这个邀请的理由还不清楚。

②This is the reason why he was put in prison.
→This is the reason for which he was put in prison.
③This is the house where I lived last year.

要点三 “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
The film in which he played the leading role was a great success.
他主演的那部电影非常成功。
I took a photo of the students, among whom was seated a teacher.
我给这些学生拍了一张照片, 他们中间坐着一位老师。
要点四 “介词+关系代词”结构中介词的正确选择
1.依据定语从句中动词或形容词等所需要的某种习惯搭配来确定。
The person to whom I spoke just now is the manager that I told you about.
刚才与我说话的那个人就是我和你谈起的那位经理。
Yesterday we visited the West Lake for which Hangzhou is famous.
昨天我们参观了西湖, 杭州因其而出名。
2.根据先行词与介词的习惯搭配来确定介词。
The pencil with which he was writing broke.
他写字用的那支铅笔坏了。
I’ll never forget the time during which I spent my childhood in the country.
我永远不会忘记我在乡村度过的童年时光。
3.根据句子的意思来确定介词。有些句子中, 定语从句中谓语动词或主要形容词与介词也不能构成固定搭配, 这时, 需要根据句子所要表达的意思来选择介词。
In the office I never seem to have time until after 5:30 p. m., by which time many people have gone home.
在办公室里, 我要到下午5:30之后才能有点空闲, 到那时, 许多人已经回家了。

4.表示“所有关系”或“整体的部分”时用介词of。

他住在一个房间里, 房间的窗子面朝西。
The old woman has two sons, both of whom are doctors.
这位老太太有两个儿子, 他们都是医生。
5.在“介词+关系代词”结构中, 介词也可换成介词短语, 如by means of、 because of、 at the foot of、 at the back of、 in front of、 on the top of等。若介词短语表示位置, 则定语从句往往用倒装语序。
Sound is a tool by means of which people communicate with each other.
声音是人们互相交流的工具。
He is living in a big house, in front of which stands a big tall tree.
他住在一幢大房子里, 房前有一棵大树。
