which在定语从句中的用法(共5页).doc
5页1.首先关系代词which在定语从句指物,在定语从句中作主语、宾语或定语,既可引导限制性定语从句,又可引导非限制性定语从句1. 1. 引导限制性定语从句 E.g: A shop should keep a stock of those goods which sell best. 商店应存有最畅销的货物 1.2. 引导非限制性定语从句 ( 1 )用来指代一个句子 E.g:Internet is so interesting, which makes all possible happen. 因特网是如此有趣,它使任何事都有可能发生 ( 2 )用来指代句子的一部分 E.g:When deep in thought, which he often was, he would forget all around him. 他常常陷入沉思,这时他就会忘掉周围的一切 ( 3 )如果要引导两个非限制性定语从句,第二个 which 前要加 and. E.g:He bought a book, which was written by Lu Xun, and which he decided to give to his friend. 他买了本鲁迅写的书,他决定送给朋友。
2. which和that在定语从句中的区别2.1使用that的情况:1)当先行词是nothing, something, anything, all, each等不定代词时E.g: Do you have anything that is important to tell me?2)当先行词被all, any, some, no, not, every, each等修饰时 E.g: I have some books that are very good.3)当先行词被形容词最高级、序数词所修饰时E.g:This is the first book that I bought myself. The biggest bird that I caught is this bird. 4)主句是以which或who开头的特殊疑问句时E.g: Which is the bike that you lost?Who is the woman that was praised at the meeting.5)当先行词在从句和主句中都作表语时,无论先行词是人还是物.E.g:China is no longer the country that she was.6)如有两个定语从句,其中一个已用which引导,另一个宜用that .E.g:Edison built up a factory which produced things that had never been seen before.7)在there be句型中,只用that.E.g:He asked for the latest book (that) there is on the subject.8)当先行词被the very, the last, the next, the only 等词修饰时。
E.g: This is the very book that I lost yesterday.9)当先行词又有人又有物时E.g: I won’t forget the things and the persons that I saw.2.2 只能使用which的情况:1)非限制性定语从句中E.g: Mary has a book, which is very precious.2)在介词之后E.g:This is a house in which lives an old man.3)当主句中的主语被that修饰时E.g: That dog which I found in the street belongs to Mary. 3. 定语从句中as和which的区别3.1 as引导的定语从句表示说话人对话语的看法、态度、依据、解释或评论具有下列特点: 1)as用于引导定语从句时,具有“正如……、像……、由……而知”等语义如: E.g:He was strongly against the plan,as could be expected.正如所料,他强烈反对这项计划 2)as引导的定语从句在语义上要和主句保持一致,而which可不一定,如果语义不一致,则要用which来替代as。
如: E.g:He married again,as(which)was natural.他又结婚了,这是自然的3)as引导的定语从句,其先行词可由以下词来修饰,the same /such /as等也可以由which来改写,但不可直接替换 E.g:This is the same sum as was spent in that year on private motoring.=This is the sum which was spent in that year on private motoring.这与那年用于私人汽车所花的费用相同4)as引导的非限制性定语从句可放在主句之后,也可放在主句之前但which只能放在主句之后如: E.g:As we have seen,oceans cover more than 70%of the earth.如我们所见,海洋覆盖地球70%多的面积E.g:He seemed a foreigner,which in fact he was.他看上去像个外国人,事实上他就是5)as在定语从句中作宾语时,从句的谓语动词常是see /watch /know /hear等表示感知的动词,且谓语动词前带有情态动词can /could /may等,此外常用的动词还有say /tell /remember等。
E.g:It was true,as everybody could know.这是真的,大家都知道6)as在定语从句中作主语时,其谓语动词可以是及物动词的被动语态,也可以是be或其它连系动词如是不及物动词,则不存在以上关系可以说as often hap- pens(appears)等 E.g;He came back yesterday,as was expected.他如期昨日返回3.2 which引导的此类从句,是对主句所叙述的事情进行补充说明,表明事物的状态或结果一般有下列特点: 1)如果定语从句的谓语是行为动词的主动语态,且关系代词在从句中作主语时,一般要用which,这时which可以用 and that改写为并列句E.g:Things then greatly changed,which surprised us.=Things then greatly changed,and that surprised us.那时事情巨变,使我们惊讶2)由“介词+关系代词”引导的关系分句多用于正式文体中,常用“介词+ which”,不用“介词+as” E.g:They tried to think of a plan by which they could finish their task ahead of time.他们试图想个计划,以便提前完成任务。
3.3 在与上述几条不冲突的情况下,as和which可以换用E.g:A horse is a useful animal,as /which everybody knows.众所周知,马是有用的动物。
