定语从句-关系词的选择
2011-07-30 10:11阅读:
定语从句中关系词的作用:1.指代被定语从句所修饰的名词或代词(即先行词);2.在从句中作句子成分。
一、限制性定语从句关系代词的选择:who whom whose which that
1.作主语:多数用情况下使用who指人 、that指物 ;
少数用情况下使用that指人、which指物;
2.作宾语:在正式语体中whom指人、which指物;
非正式语体中who /that指人、that 指物;
3.作定语:whose指人、或指物(=of whom)
4.作介词宾语:在正式语体中,介词通常前置,whom指人, which指物。(限制和非限制都可)
非正式语体中,介词通常后置,who/that指人,that指物(或者省略);
如用 whom/which
就很不自然。
注意要点:
1.
作介词宾语指人用(介词+whom );指物用(介词+which);
2.作直接宾语的关系代词可以省略;
3.定语从句中关系代词的单复数取决于先行词的单复数;
4.that仅用于限制性定语从句中;而who whom whose
which即可用于限制性定语从句中,也可用于非限制
性定语从句中;
e.g
1.He's the man who/that lives next door to
us.
He drives a car that/which can travel
150 miles an hour.
2.Where is the man (whom/who/that) I saw this
morning ?
Is that the man (whom/who/that) you
gave your tichets to ?
Where is the book (which/that) I
bought this morning ?
Is that the address (which/that) you
sent the telegram to ?
3.Do you know anyone whose family is in
xi'an ?
The girl whose work got the prize
is the youngest in her class.
4.James is a man for whom I have the greatest
respect .
They are the boys (who/that) I went to
school with.
The case (that) you are
referring to is now closed .
For mor examples:

wrote the article .(指人,作主语)
2.Who is the girl whom(who) you talked
to just now ?(指人,作宾语)
3.Do you know the name of that girl
whose brother is your roommate
?(指人,作定语)
4.Views that(which) are entirely new
or foreign may also be hard to accept.(指物,作主语)
5.The people whom(that) you met in the campus
yesterday are from England.(指人,作宾语)
6.Is there anyone in your department
whose father is a painter ?(指人,作定语)
7.The young man with whom I
travelled could speak English.(指人,作宾语)
8.The book which(that) you are
reading is written by a contemporary American writer.
(指物,作宾语)
9.The bicycle the brake of
which was damaged has now been
repaired.(指物,与of搭配作定语)
使用要点:
1.先行词本身是all,much,everything,something,nothing,anything,little,none等指物的不定代词时关系代词一般只用that,不用which;

energy.

She has nothing that is good to say.
The book doesn't say much that amuses
children.
She hates everything that is
modern.
2.如果先行词是anyone, anybody, everyone, everybody,
someone, somebody, nobody, no
one,应用who或whom,不用which;
Is there anyone here who can speak
English?
I saw the manager talking with somebody
whom he didn't know.
3.先行词被序数词、形容词最高级,以及first,the
last,the
only,any,few,much,no,some,every等修饰时关系代词常用that,不用which/who/whom;
This is the most impressive TV theater
that has never been put on show
before.
He is the only person that was
present at the time.
This is the best TV set that is
made in China.
No sample that we have
received is satisfactory.
Please send us any information
that you have about the
subject.
4.当关系词在“主+系+表”结构中做表语,或在“there
be”结构中做实义主语时,通常用that,且常省略。

ten years ago.
When Lauren was born, Swallow decided her daughter would be the
singer (that) she always wanted to be
.
The 9:15 is the fastest train (that) there has
ever been.
5.如果有两个或两个以上先行词,兼指人或物,应用that;

that the radio broadcast have aroused
great interest among the students.
They spoke highly of the diplomat and his brilliant
success that they read about in the
newspaper.
He was watching the children and the parcels
that filled the car.
A victim is a person,animal or thing that suffers
pain,death,harm,ect.
6.又是为了明确所指的对象避免发生歧义,有时必须用who/whom指人,用which指物,若用that则不恰当。如,
There's only one student in the school (that) I wanted to
see.(歧义句)
There's only one student in the school (who) I wanted to
see.
5.在非限制性定语从句中,不能用that,做宾语的代词也不能省略;

the world famous scenic spots, is on Tienshan
Mountain.
天池是世界名胜之一,位于天山之上。
There are thirty students in the class,the majority
of whom are from the
city.
这个班上有30位学生,大多数来自城市。
6.如果作先行词的集体名词着眼于集体的整体,关系代词用which;如果指集体中的各个成员,则用who;
The basketball team, which is
playing very well, will come out first.
The basket ball team, who are
having a rest, will begin another match in twenty
minutes.
8.在“It is + 名词 + 定语从句 +
定语从句”结构中,后一个定语从句要用that;
It is only a man who has seen much
of the world that can be a
leader.
只有阅历丰富的人才能当领导。
It is always the mouth which talks
too much that arouses
troubles.言多必失。
