复习定语从句
一、定语从句概述
充当定语的句子称为定语从句。定语从句在句中的作用相当于形容词,故又被称为形容词性从句。
二、限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别
限制性定语从句对先行词起修饰限制作用,如果去掉,主句的意思就不完整或者就完全失去意义;非限制性定语从句对先行词起补充说明作用,如果去掉,主句的意思仍然清楚、完整,这种从句与主句的关系不是很密切,先行词与定语从句往往由逗号隔开。
People who take physical exercise live longer.
进行体育锻炼的人长寿。
His daughter,who is in Boston now,is coming home next week.
他女儿现在在波士顿,下星期回家。
三、关系词的基本用法
引导定语从句的词被称为关系词。关系词包括关系代词和关系副词两类。关系词在定语从句中起连接作用,同时代替先行词在从句中充当主语、宾语、表语、定语或状语成分。

[名师点津] 当先行词为situation,case,stage,point等,且关系词在定语从句中作状语时,要用关系副词where引导。

Borrowed words
“The restaurant's fried tofu① is delicious.” Is there anything special about this sentence? Well,all the words except “the” and “is” are borrowed from other languages! This comes as no surprise②,given that English has borrowed words from more than 300 different languages,including Latin,Greek,French and Chinese[1].However,English is not alone in borrowing words from other languages—borrowed words can be found in almost all languages.For example,English words that are borrowed into the Chinese language[2] include “bacon③”,“tank④” and “golf⑤ ”.
[1]given that引导原因状语从句,given that意为“考虑到,鉴于”。
[2]that引导定语从句,修饰先行词English words。
Word borrowing comes about⑥ when two cultures with different languages interact⑦.This tends to happen when there is no suitable word for an object or idea in the native tongue⑧.This phenomenon⑨ has been occurring for thousands of years.In the current age of globalization⑩,when communications technology brings different cultures closer together,words are even more likely to be borrowed straight from the source language at a faster pace than ever before,especially those related to technological developments,such as “email” and “Internet”.
Though borrowing words has become faster,the process is still complex,and it takes time before new words are integrated⑪ into everyday speech.At first,the borrowed word is only used by bilingual⑫ speakers.It then spreads to people who do not know the original language[3],and they will change the pronunciation to fit the way they speak,almost unknowingly⑬.An example of this is the word “kung fu⑭”,which refers to Chinese martial arts[4].This word comes from Chinese gongfu.Over time,the sounds that are difficult to pronounce[5] have been replaced with more familiar ones.The longer a borrowed word has been in use,the more it sounds and even looks like the native language.[6]
[3]who引导定语从句,修饰先行词people。
[4]which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the word “kung fu”。
[5]that引导定语从句,修饰先行词the sounds。
[6]本句为“the+比较级...,the+比较级...”句型。
Borrowed words are an outcome of language development that can hardly be avoided[7],but some language communities oppose⑮ adopting words from other cultures.There are countries that make interventions⑯ to keep their native language pure⑰ in order to defend their identity.The French specifically have an official organization that creates new words[8] in order to avoid borrowed words.Some languages have an extremely small number of speakers,such as the Native American Navajo language,used only by the members of the tribe⑱[9].Under this circumstance,it becomes a matter of survival for the native language to reject⑲ outside influences.
[7]that引导定语从句,修饰先行词an outcome of language development。
[8]that引导定语从句,修饰先行词an official organization。
[9]过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰名词the Native American Navajo language。
While some communities are pessimistic⑳ about the exchange between languages,there are also other communities that readily welcome borrowed words.[10] English,especially,is based on㉑ a mix of Latin,Greek and Germanic㉒ languages.The English-speaking community does not hesitate about absorbing foreign words into its daily vocabulary.In fact,there have never been any formal academic restrictions㉓ on new borrowed words.Borrowing words allows the language to continue to develop,enabling the community to have a more efficient language which makes it possible for them to share their experiences with new-found ease[11]. It is also through those words that novel ideas are spread and different beliefs are exchanged more conveniently and quickly.[12]
[10]本句为主从复合句。句中While引导让步状语从句,While意为“尽管,虽然”;that引导定语从句,修饰先行词other communities。
[11]动词-ing形式短语作结果状语,表示“自然而然”的结果,其中which引导定语从句,修饰先行词a more efficient language,定语从句中it作形式宾语,真正的宾语为动词不定式短语to share...ease。
[12]本句为强调句型,强调through those words。
According to the linguist㉔ Edward Sapir,“It would be difficult to point to a completely isolated㉕ language...” For better or for worse㉖ ,the tendency㉗ to borrow words has never gone out of style㉘.The more international and globalized the world becomes,the more language characteristics will be shared between nations and cultures.[13]
外来词
“The restaurant's fried tofu is delicious.(这家餐馆的炸豆腐真美味。)”这句话有什么特别的地方吗?嗯,除了“the”和“is”之外,所有的单词都是从其他语言借来的!这并不奇怪,鉴于英语的外来词来自300多种不同的语言,包括拉丁语、希腊语、法语和汉语。然而,英语并不是唯一一种从其他语言引入外来词的语言——几乎所有语言中都可以找到外来词。例如,汉语中也有来源于英语的外来词,包括“培根(bacon)”、“坦克(tank)”和“高尔夫(golf)”。
当不同语言的两种文化相互交流时,外来词就产生了。当母语中没有合适的词来表达某个物体或某种想法时,这种情况就会发生。这一现象已经延续了数千年。在如今的全球化时代中,当通信技术使不同的文化更加紧密地联系在一起时,词汇甚至更有可能以前所未有的速度直接从原语言中被借用,特别是那些与技术发展相关的词汇,如“电子邮件(email)”和“互联网(Internet)”。
虽然借词已变得更快,但是过程仍然复杂,新词需要一段时间才能融入日常用语中。起初,只有双语者使用外来词,然后外来词传播到不懂原语言的人中,这些人会在不知不觉中改变外来词的发音,使之更加适应他们的语言习惯。“kung fu”这个词就是一个例子,它指的是中国武术。这个词来源于中文的功夫(gongfu)。随着时间的推移,难以发音的部分被更为熟悉的发音取代了。外来词使用的时间越长,听起来甚至看起来就越像本地语言。
虽然外来词是语言发展几乎难以避免的结果,但是一些语言群体反对从其他文化中吸收词汇。有些国家会采取干预措施,保证本国语言的纯粹性,以捍卫其身份认同。法国人专门有一个创造新词的官方组织,以避免外来词。有些语言只有非常少的使用者,例如美洲原住民的纳瓦霍语,只有这个部落的成员使用。在这种情况下,拒绝外来语的影响关系到本地语的生存问题。
尽管有些群体对语言之间的互借感到悲观,但是也有其他群体对外来词持欣然欢迎的态度。尤其是英语,它是基于拉丁语、希腊语和日耳曼语的混合体。英语群体毫不犹豫地将外来词吸收到日常词汇中。事实上,对新的外来词从来没有任何严格的学术限制。借用外来词使语言得以继续发展,使其群体拥有一种更为有效的语言,该语言让他们能够以新发现的轻松状态分享他们的经历。也正是通过那些词,新思想的传播、不同观点的交流得以更加便捷、迅速。
语言学家爱德华·萨丕尔认为,“很难找到一种完全孤立的语言……”。不管怎样,借用外来词的趋势从未过时。世界越是国际化和全球化,不同民族和文化之间就会共享更多的语言特征。
