定語從句關係詞用法

 一、定語從句關係詞的用法與選擇

  ■關係詞的用法

關係詞分關係代詞和關係副詞.關係代詞主要有 that,who,whom,whose,which,as 等,其中who和whom 只用於指人,which和as 只用於指事物,whose和 that既可於指人也可用於指物,它們在定語從句可用作主語、賓語、表語或定語;關係副詞主要有when,where 和why,其中when表示時間,where表地點,why表原因,它們在定語從句中均用作狀語:

A plane is a machine that can fly.飛機是一種能飛行的機器.(that指物,在從句中用作主語)

I have forgotten everything that I learnt at school.我把學校學的所有東西都給忘了.(that指物,在從句中句作賓語)

The man who lives in that house is my uncle.住在那座房子裡的人是我叔叔.(who指人,在從句中作主語)

The house whose windows are broken is empty.破了窗戶的那座房子是空的.(whose指物,在從句中作定語)

There are some students whose questions I can’t answer.有些學生提出的問題我回答不了.(whose指人,在從句中作定語)

He is not such a fool as he looks.他並不像他看起來那麼傻.(as指人,在從句作表語)

 ■關係詞的選擇

選擇關係詞可考慮以下四點:

(1)一看先行詞的意義,即分清先行詞是指人、指物、時間、地點還是原因(如指物時不能用who或whom,指人時通常不用which等).

(2)二看關係詞的句能,即分清關係詞是擔任什麼句子成分,是作主語還是賓語、是作定語還是狀語等(如作定語通常用whose,有時也用which;作狀語要用when,where,why).

(3)三看定語從句的種類,即分清是限制性定語從句還是非限制性定語從句(如that和why通常不引導非限制性定語從句).

(4)四看文體,即分清是正式文體還是非正式文體,是書面語體還是口語體.

二、定語從句中關係副詞的用法

關係副詞,顧名思義,是聯絡先行詞和定語從句的詞,屬於副詞。定語從句中的關係副詞有三個:when, where和why,它們在定語從句中分別作時間、地點和原因狀語。其句法結構如下:

表時間的名詞 + when + 定語從句

when指時間,在定語從句中作時間狀語。

例句:I still remember the day when I first came to Beijing.

I’ll never forget the day when I joined the army.

表地點的名詞 + where + 定語從句

where指地點,在定語從句中作地點狀語。

例句:The factory where his father works is in the west of the city.

This is the house where I lived two years ago.

表原因的名詞reason + why + 定語從句(why只用於reason之後的限制性定語從句中,在定語從句中作原因狀語。)

例句:That is the reason why I did the job.(在現代英語中why可以省略)

上句也可以這樣表示:

That is the reason I did the job.

又如: This was the reason (why )we raised the temperature.

關係副詞在定語從句中的用法看似簡單,以下注意點不可忽視:

1)“when”、“where”和“why”的`運用取就於表時間的名詞、表地點的名詞和表原因的名詞reason在定語從句中所作的成分,比較下面的幾組句子:

*I will never forget the day when I first met you on the seashore.

*I will never forget the days which/that we spent together in Xueyao Middle School.

**This is the hospital where my mother works.

**This is the hospital which/that we visited the day before yesterday.

***The reason why he did not go to school is that he was ill.

***This is the reason which/that he gave his boss in the office .

2) “when”、“where”和“why”都可以替換成“介詞 + which”,介詞的選用取就於先行詞和定語從句中的動詞。例如:

Do you still remember the day on which we first met in Nantong?(on which=when)

This is the room in which we lived last year.(in which=where)

Do you know the reason for which he refused to go to Mary’s birthday party. (for which=why)

有時定語從句中介詞短語和動詞有意義緊密的修飾關係,尤其在非限制性定語從句中,常使用“介詞 + which”結構,而不使用關係副詞。例如:

My mother works in a factory, in front of which there is a small river.

At night the soldiers got to a small hill, at the foot of which stood a farmhouse.

3) 關係副詞“when”、“where”既可引導限制性定語從句,也可引導非限制性定語從句。

例如:I will always remember the day when I first visited the Great Wall.

He came to Shanghai in 1980, when he was only 12.

I don’t know the exact spot where they will meet.

Mr Wang will fly to Beijing, where he will stay for three months.

有時關係副詞“when”、“where”引導的限制性定語從句和先行詞有間隔的現象,是為了平衡句子的語法需要。

Do you remember one afternoon ten years ago when I came to your house and borrowed a diamond necklace?

The days are gone forever when the Chinese people used “foreign oil.”.

4) “that”可活用為關係副詞,相當於“when, where、why”和“介詞 + which”結構,尤其在“the time when”等結構中的“when”常被“that”代替,而且“that”往往省略。

I may leave here any time I want to.

During the time I was there I visited him twice.

This is my second time I have come to your country.

5) “which”有時可用作關係形容詞,這是“which”在非限制性定語從句中的特殊使用,如:

The doctor advised him to give up smoking, which advice he did not follow.
