在句子中起名词作用的句子被称为名词性从句(Noun Clauses)。名词性从句的功能相当于名词词组,它在复合句中能担任主语、宾语、表语、同位语等。因此根据它在句中不同的语法功能,名词性从句又可分别称为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句,本单元重点讲解前三种从句。
名词性从句常用的引导词:
①从属连词:that,whether,if(连接作用,不作成分);
②连接代词:who(ever),what(ever),which(ever),whom(ever)(作主语、宾语、表语等名词性成分);
③连接副词:how(ever),where(ever),when(ever),why(作状语)。
名词性从句的语序:名词性从句一律用陈述语序。
一、主语从句
主语从句是指在句中作主语的从句,位置与陈述句的主语相同。若主语部分结构较长,可以使用形式主语it,而把真正的主语从句放在后面。
Whether the drama will be put on is not certain now.
这部戏剧是否会被上演现在不能确定。
How the book will be sold depends on its author.
这本书如何销售取决于其作者。
Which pattern they will choose makes no difference.
他们选择哪种图案都无所谓。
That she will do well in her exam is certain.
=It is certain that she will do well in her exam.
她在考试中会取得好成绩,这是确定无疑的。
注意:it作形式主语的主语从句
主语从句中以it作形式主语的四种常用句型:
1.It+不及物动词或短语动词的适当形式+从句
It happens that...碰巧……
It has turned out that...结果是……
It happened that the harvest was bad that year.
恰好那年收成不好。
2.It+be+及物动词的过去分词+从句
It is said that...据说……
It is reported that...据报道……
It is believed that...人们认为……
It is hoped that...大家希望……
It is said that the middle-aged man has suffered a lot of failures.
据说,这个中年人遭受过很多次失败。
3.It+be+形容词+从句
It is necessary that...……有必要
It is clear that...……很清楚
It is (un)likely that...……很(不太)可能
It is important that...……很重要
It is necessary that we should be equipped with some professional skills.
我们应该用专业技能武装自己,这是必要的。
4.It+be+名词+that从句
适用于该句型的名词(词组)有:a pity,an honor,a good thing,a fact,
a surprise,one’s duty等。
It is a pity that you missed such a funny comedy last week.
很遗憾上周你错过了那么好笑的一部喜剧片。
二、宾语从句
在句子中起宾语作用的从句被称为宾语从句。宾语从句可分为三类,动词后的宾语从句、介词后的宾语从句和形容词后的宾语从句。形容词后跟宾语从句的用法只限于少数动态形容词,如sure(确信),certain(肯定的),afraid(担心的),confident(有把握的)等。若宾语部分结构较长,可使用形式宾语it,而把真正的宾语从句置于后面。
Everyone knows that the earth is made up of matter.
每个人都知道地球是由物质构成的。
Is there anything wrong with what I said?
我所说的有错误之处吗?
These two areas are similar in that they both have high rainfall in summer.
这两个地区的相似之处在于夏天降水都很多。
I’m not certain whether they will struggle for a better life.
我不确定他们是否会为了更好的生活而奋斗。
I find it strange that she doesn’t want to go.
她居然不想去,我觉得奇怪。
注意:宾语从句一般用陈述语气,但是,当主句的谓语动词为advise,insist(坚决主张),suggest(建议),require,request,order等表示请求、命令、要求、主张的动词时,从句谓语要用虚拟语气,即用“should+动词原形”(should可以省略)。
She insisted that we (should) go to the exhibition with her.
她坚决要求我们和她一起去看展览。
三、表语从句
表语从句在复合句中作表语,出现在连系动词之后,一般结构为“主语+连系动词+表语从句”。
可接表语从句的连系动词有be,look,remain,seem,sound等。
The question is whether he could compose such nice music within two days.
问题是他是否能在两天之内创作出那么好的音乐。
You look as if you slept badly.
你看上去仿佛没睡好觉。
The fact remains that we are still not advanced enough.
事实是我们仍旧不够先进。
注意:
1.表语从句实际上是对主语进行补充说明,从句表达的是主语的内容。
The fact is that he often feels tense while he is on the stage.
事实是他在台上时经常感到紧张。
2.主句的主语是名词advice,suggestion,order,request,requirement等时,表语从句应用虚拟语气,即谓语动词用“(should+)动词原形”。
My suggestion is that we (should) consider all the aspects before making a decision.
我的建议是我们在做决定前应考虑到所有方面。
3.because,why引导的表语从句。
This/That is why...这/那是……的原因
This/That is because...这/那是因为……
He failed.That is because he didn’t work hard.
他失败了。那是因为他没有努力工作。
He didn’t work hard.That is why he failed.
他没有努力工作。那是他失败的原因。
4.主句主语为reason时,表语从句的引导词要用that,一般不用why或because。
The reason for such a serious accident is that the driver was drunk.
发生如此严重的一起事故的原因是司机喝醉了。
四、名词性从句要注意的难点
1.用whether而不用if的情况
(1)引导主语从句和表语从句时;(2)引导介词的宾语从句时;(3)引导词与or not连用时;(4)引导词后接to do时;(5)有些动词如leave,put,discuss,decide等后的宾语从句。
We discussed whether we should hold a meeting.
我们讨论了是否应该举行会议。
It depends on whether we have enough time.
这取决于我们是否有足够的时间。
I don’t know whether or not the report is true.
我不知道这份报告是不是真的。
2.that与what引导名词性从句的区别
that在从句中不充当句子成分,也没有含义;what可以在从句中作主语、表语、宾语,意思是“……的事情,什么样的”。
That he failed in the test again really puzzled us.
他又一次没通过考试,这真让我们感到迷惑不解。(that在主语从句中不作成分,不可以省略)
These photographs will show you what our village looks like.
这些照片将向你展示我们村的面貌。(what在宾语从句中作介词like的宾语)
3.wh-与wh-ever引导名词性从句的区别
连接词what,which,who分别表示“……的东西或事情”“哪一个”“谁”,表示疑问含义;而whatever,whichever,whoever分别相当于anything that,any...that,anyone who,意为“无论……”,强调一切情况。试比较:
What you choose to wear should be clean.
你选择穿的衣服应该是干净的。
Whatever you choose to wear should be clean.
无论你选择穿什么衣服,都应该是干净的。
