高中英语语法详解(讲义)chapter 8 宾语从句
■一、从句是陈述句时
■二、从句是一般疑问句时
■三、从句是特殊疑问句时
在句中作及物动词、介词和各种非谓语形式的宾语,其作用和位置与陈述句中的宾语相同。用从属连词that, whether, if,连接代词和连接副词引导。
一、从句是陈述句时
用that引导:that在从句中不作任何成分,在口语或非正式文体中常可省略。例如:
The above experiment shows that bacteria are found almost everywhere around us.上述的实验表明,我们的周围几乎每一个地方都能找到细菌。
I said that that "that" (that) that man wrote in the sentence was wrong.我说那个人在句中写的那个“that”是错的。
I ought to have known that love was not for poor me.我本来就应该知道,爱情并不属于我这样可怜的人。
I never thought that you went about giving money away in that careless manner.(Oscar Wilde)我从没想到你会这么随便给人家钱。
I knew that now the moon was following him too.(Mary E.Patter)我意识到现在月儿正在伴他同行。
They concluded that the goods were up to the standard for export.他们断定货物是符合出口标准的。
在动词know, say, tell, think, hope, wish, hear, believe, expect等后面接从属连词that引导的宾语从句中,如果句子简短,that省略时不会产生歧义则可省略。例如:
I hope you will get over your infatuation for me.(Theodore Dreiser)我希望你不要再迷恋我。
He told me he had parked his car at the station, and that he had lost his car keys.【第一个宾语从句省略that,第二个宾语从句that不可省略,以免造成理解错误。】 他告诉我他把汽车停放在车站,并把 汽车钥匙丢了。
在decide, desire, require, request, ask, demand, order, suggest, advise, recommend, propose, insist等表示“决定”、“要求”、“命令”、“建议”等意义的动词之后,that引导的从句常用should或用be型的虚拟式(在比较正式的文件中)。例如:
They demanded that the foreign diplomat (should) leave the country within 24 hours.他们要求这个外交官在24小时内离开该国。
I advise that steps should be taken at once.我建议立即采取措施。
We propose (that) partial shipment should be allowed.我建议允许分批装船。
The Congress has decided that the present law (should) continue to operate.大会决定了当前法律继续有效。
We request that you (should) have the covering L/C amended according to the terms of the contract.我们要求你们按合同条款修改有关信用证。
当主句谓语动词为think, believe, suppose, expect, imagine, assume, guess, fancy等表示“认为”、“猜测”的动词时,其后that从句如是否定的意思,则在从句中不用否定形式,而在主句的谓语部分用否定,即将not移到主句。这种现象叫否定转移。例如:
He doesn't expect we need worry.他认为我们不用焦虑。
I don't believe that they can accomplish the work in such a short time.我认为他们在这么短的时间不能完成这工作。
I don't suppose that I shall be back until eight.我想我到八点钟不会回来。

1.有时,从句中也可用否定结构,只是含义有差别。试比较:
I don't think it will rain.【表示“推测”,语气不太肯定】 我觉得不会下雨。
I think it will not rain.【表示“相信,有把握”,语气较肯定】 我相信不会下雨。
2.并非所有表示“相信”、“推测”的动词都能用于否定转移的结构。试比较:
I am not afraid that he will come next week.我不怕他下星期来。
I am afraid that he will not come next week.(我)恐怕他下星期不会来。
She doesn't fear that she may offend the boss.她不怕得罪老板。
I fear Parliament won't pass the bill.恐怕议会不会通过这项议案。
3.如果think等动词用过去式或句中有no, never, nothing, nobody等表示否定意义的词时,通常不用否定转移。例如:
We thought she didn't want to work in that company.我们认为她不想在那家公司工作。
组成复合宾语的宾语从句,句型为:“主语+及物动词+it(形式宾语)+宾语补语+that从句”。
The experiment makes it evident that air has pressure.实验表明空气有压力。
We consider it necessary that measures be taken to improve the work of teaching.我们认为必须采取措施改进教学工作。
I should have it clear that my friend was black.我本来应说明白我的朋友是个黑人。
We all thought it a pity that the conference should have been cancelled.会议取消了,我们都觉得很遗憾。
当句子的谓语是“不及物动词+介词”构成的短语动词时,也 可用it作形式宾语,后接that从句。例如:
You may depend upon it that every member of the Committee will support your proposal.你可以信赖委员会的每个成员会支持你的建议的。
We will answer for it that the product is of extra superior quality.我们保证产品质量是最好的。
I took his word for it that he would try his best to help us.我相信他的话,他说他要想尽一切方法帮助我们。
I'm counting on it that you will come.我正在盼望你回来。
在动词have, take, owe, put, love, resent, hide等后用it作宾语的固定搭配,然后接that从句。例如:
She will have it that you are wrong.她会硬说你错了。
I owe it to you that I am still alive.我现在还活着,这多亏你。
We take it that you will act according to the final agreement.我们认为贵方会按照最后协议办事的。

有时it可以省略。例如:
We must bear (it) in mind that we are servants of the people.我们要记住我们是人民的公仆。
that从句作介词的宾语是很少见的,只有在in, except, but, besides, save, beyond, not withstanding后面偶尔用到。例如:
There's no sort of conviction about anything, except that it's all a muddle and a hole.(D.H.Lawrence)他们除了确信一切都是漆黑一团外,对什么事情也不相信了。

二、从句是一般疑问句时
用whether, if引导,whether, if不能省略,可以互换。从句中用陈述句语序。例如:

【注1】 用whether,正反面的选择较强,可与or或or not连用;用if,则比较强调单方面,或从句是否定式时也用if,不能和or not连用。例如:
He asked me whether he should come (or not).他问我他是否会来。
I don't know whether I should go away or stay here.我不知道我该走还是留在这里。
He asked me if he could come.他问我他是否能来。
【注2】 在谓语是doubt的肯定句后接if或whether引导的从句如果是否定句或疑问句,则后接that引导的从句。例如:
We don't doubt that he can do a good job of it.我们并不怀疑他能把这事做得很好。
Does any one doubt that it is so?它原来是这样,有谁怀疑吗?
三、从句是特殊疑问句时
用原有的疑问词作连词引导,该疑问词不能省略。从句用陈述句语序。例如:
Goals determine what you're going to be.(Julius Erving)奋斗目标决定你将会成为什么样的人。
We must be good at learning what we do not know.我们必须善于学习我们原来不知道的东西。

whatever, whoever, whichever, wherever是what, who, which, where的强调形式。例如:

由疑问词引导的从句可直接作介词的宾语。例如:

The sensible man is not influenced by what other people think.(Buddha)明达的人不为别人的想法所左右。

某些短语后接wh-从句,介词常可省略,因此wh-从句可位于某些名词之后。这些短语常见的有have no idea of, have some notion of等。例如:
You can have no idea (of) how anxious we have been.你不知道我们多么着急。
I have no notion (of) what he means.我不懂他是什么意思。
I can't make up my mind (about) who should be praised first.我拿不定主意该表扬谁。
关系词可引导作间接宾语从句。例如:

We wrote whoever had helped us a letter of thanks.凡是帮助过我们的,我们都写了感谢信。
Give it whomever you like.你喜欢把它给谁,就给谁吧。
在“be+某些形容词(作表语)+介词后接that从句或wh-从句”的句型中,介词要省去。这种从句在概念上接近宾语,而在结构上却接近状语。这类形容词往往表示情感或心理活动。例如:
