语法精讲
限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句
一、定语从句的种类
根据定语从句与先行词之间关系的紧密程度,我们将定语从句分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。
1.限制性定语从句
限制性定语从句是先行词在意义上不可缺少的定语从句,用于修饰和限定先行词。如果去掉,主句的意思就不完整。这种从句和主句的关系十分密切,两者之间不用逗号分开;关系代词在从句中作宾语时可以省略。引导限制性定语从句的关系代词有who,whom,whose,that,which,as;关系副词有where,when,why。
This is the computer(that/which) he bought for his son yesterday.
这是他昨天为儿子买的电脑。
The woman who/that survived the earthquake is Amy’s English teacher.
在地震中幸存的那个女人是埃米的英语老师。
2.非限制性定语从句
(1)非限制性定语从句与先行词之间一般用逗号隔开,是对先行词的附加说明,如去掉,句子剩余部分的意思仍然完整。
The children,who wanted to have a journey to the valley,were disappointed when the journey was cancelled.
那些想去山谷旅行的孩子都因旅行的取消而感到失望。
That they will get married,which has not been announced,has spread around.
他们要结婚的消息还没有被宣布,却已经被传得沸沸扬扬。
(2)非限制性定语从句的先行词既可为单个的名词或代词,也可为整个句子或其中一部分,且常译成并列的分句。
We’ll graduate in July,when we will be free.(先行词为名词)
我们将于七月份毕业,到那时我们就自由了。
He often comes to school late,which makes his teacher angry.(先行词为主句的内容)
他经常上学迟到,这使得他的老师很生气。
(3)引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词指人时用who,whom和whose;指物时用which和whose。还有关系副词when和where。
This is our headmaster,who I think has something crucial to tell you.
这是我们的校长,我认为他有非常重要的事情要告诉你。
He has sold the house,which is located in downtown.
他已经卖掉了那所位于市中心的房子。
Chaplin lived the last years of his life in Switzerland,where he was buried in 1977.卓别林在瑞士度过了他的晚年,1977年他被安葬在那里。
He fled his hometown in 1992,when he was only 12 years old.
他于1992年逃离家乡,当时他只有12岁。
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 非限制性定语从句
意义 起限定作用,指特定的人或物,从句不可省略,否则原句句意不完整 仅作补充或说明,若去掉从句,主句意思依然完整
结构
要求 紧跟先行词,从句与先行词之间不加逗号 用逗号与先行词或主句隔开
功能 修饰先行词 修饰先行词或整个主句
引导词 所有的关系代词及副词 关系代词或关系副词,但是关系代词that及关系副词why除外
When you reach the village,you will first find a house whose windows are made of wood.
当你到达那个村庄时,你首先会发现一座有着木窗的房子。
They enjoyed beautiful scenery in the mountain area,where they also did some climbing.
他们欣赏了这个山区的美景,在那里他们还做了些爬山运动。
[巧学助记]
定从分类有奥妙,限与非限看逗号;
定前必有先行词,名代两类最适宜;
定从先行很紧密,代副两词拉关系。
三、as与which引导非限制性定语从句时的区别
as which
指代 只能指代整个主句的内容 既可指代整个主句的内容,也可指代主句的一部分
位置 可位于主句之前、之中或之后 不能置于主句之前
意义 正如 这,那
功能 连接上下文,表达说话人的观点、看法,并指出主句内容的根据或出处等 引导的从句在意义上相当于一个并列句
As we all know,the earth moves around the sun.
众所周知,地球围绕太阳转。
The singer,as was expected,achieved a great success.
正如所期盼的那样,这位歌手取得了巨大成功。
