美国限制性定语从句关系代词解析意为杂谈 |
分类: 教学反思 |
博主的话:定语从句一直是高中英语教学中的大难点,对于有些同学定语从句就像是盲区,怎么讲都不能理解。分析传统的定语从句讲义,往往都是以关系词来分类,再分析每个关系词可以有什么用法,记忆点显得多而且杂。对于刚接触定语从句的学生来说实在有点措手不及。针对这个情况,我对定语从句的讲义进行了新的整理。把它根据先行词的情况及运用来分类。既强调了初学定语从句时找准先行词的重要性,也使得记忆更加有规律,更加简单明了。定语从句是英语语法的难点之一,其中非限制性定语从句更令同学们难以把握。我从非限制性定语从句与限制性定语从句的区别出发,讨论关于非限制性定语从句的常见易错题目的解答方法。
1. 引导限制性定语从句时,关系代词which可以与that互换;但引导非限制性定语从句时,只能用which。
例1She heard a terrible noise,______ frightened her.
A. that
例2She heard a terrible noise
______ frightened her.
A. that
解析:例1意为:“她听到一个可怕的声音,这使她感到恐惧。”that不能用于引导非限制性定语从句,故选B。例2意为:“她听到了一个使她恐惧的可怕声音。”引导修饰noise的限制性定语从句可以用which或that来引导,故选A。
2. 先行词为reason时,限制性定语可以用why或for which来引导;非限制性定语从句则只能用for
which来引导。
例3I had told them the reason, ______ I didn’t attend the
meeting.
A. for which B. at which C. for whom D. why
例4I had told them the reason ______ I didn’t attend the
meeting.
A. when B. which C. why D. for that
解析: 例3意为:“我早已把理由告诉他们,于是我没有出席会议。”先行词为reason时,非限制性定语从句应用for
which引导,故选A。例4意为:“我已经把为什么没有出席会议的原因告诉他们。”the reason
why...是常见搭配,答案为C。
3. 引导限制性定语从句的关系代词在从句中担任宾语时可以被省略;但引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词即使作宾语也不能省略。
例5He was eager to go to the hospital to see his stepmother,______
he loved and respected as his own mother.
A. as
解析:本句意为:“他急于去医院看望他的继母,他像对待亲生母亲一样孝敬她。”关系代词whom引导非限制性定语从句并作宾语,不能被省略,故选D。
4.引导限制性定语从句时并作从句宾语的关系代词whom可以用who来代替;但在非限制性定语从句中,whom就不能用who替换。
例6Do you know Tom, _____ we talked about?
A. which B. that C. whom D. who
例7The American journalist ______ the announcer mentioned in the
news broadcast is said to have been killed by the gangsters. Which
of the following is wrong?
A. who B. whom C. whose D. /
解析: 例6意为:“你认识汤姆吗?
我们谈到过他。”应选C。例7意为:“播音员在新闻广播中提到的那位美国记者据说已遭歹徒杀害。下列哪一项是错误的?”关系代词作mentioned的宾语且指人时,可用who/whom/that,在限制性定语从句中可省略,故C是错的。
5.当非限制性定语从句修饰整个主句时,其关系代词只能用as
,不能用which。此时非限制性定语从句可置于主句之前、之后或之中。
例8______ I expected, he didn’t believe me.
A. Which B. As C. That D. When
解析: 本句意为:“正如我所预料的那样,他不相信我的话。”非限制性定语从句修饰整个主句,应用as引导,故答案为B。
例9Mary was late for school,______ often happened.
A. as B. for which C. that D. why
解析:本句意为:“玛丽上学迟到了,这是常有的事。”根据句意,关系代词as引导的非限制性定语从句修饰前面的主句,其位置非常灵活,故答案为A。
6. 由“介词+关系代词”引导非限制性定语从句,关系代词指代整个主句时,不能用as,只能用which。
例10He bought the car for more than $20,000,______ his father was
angry.
A. about that B. with as C. when D. with which
解析:本句意为:“他花两万多美元买了这辆车,他父亲对此很生气。”which位于介词with的后面,指代前面的主句,故答案为D。
