指物的非限定性關係從句實用英語語法簡介

用which,這裡不用that:

That block,Which cost£5 million to build,has been empty fof years.

那個街區,就是花費了500萬英鎊建起來的那個,已經空置了多年了。

The 8∶15 train,which is usually very punctual,was late today.

8點15分的列車通常是正點的,今天晚點了。

口語中往往可能這麼說:

That block cost£5 million to build and has been empty for years.

那個街區花費了500萬英鎊建成,已經空置了多年了。

This 8∶15 train is usually punctual,but It was late today.

8點15分的列車通常總是正點的`,但是今天晚點了。

B 賓格

用which,這裡不用that,而且which決不能省略:

She gave me this jumper,which she had knitted herself.

她送給我這件羊毛衫,這是她親手織的。或:

She gave me this jumper;she had knitted it herself.These books,which you can get at any bookshop,will give you all the in- formation you need.

這幾本書,你可以在任何書店買到的,會向你提供你所需要的一切資料。或:

These books will give you all the information you need.You can get them at any bookshop.

C 介詞的賓語

介詞位於which之前或者位於從句之後,但不那麼正式:

Ashdown Forest,through which we’ll be driving,isn’t a forest any longer.

阿斯頓森林,我們即將驅車通過,已經不再是森林了。或:

Ashdown Forest,which we’ll be driving through,isn’t a forest any longer.

His house,for which he paid£10,000,is now worth£50,000.

他花了一萬英鎊買的房子,現在值五萬英鎊。或:

His house,which he paid£10,000 for,is now…

D 與短語動詞連用的which

像下面的短語動詞look after,look forward to,put up with(參見第三十八章)都應被看做一個整體,即介詞/副詞不應與動詞分開:

This machine,which I have looked after for twenty years,is still working perfectly.

這臺機器我已經照管了20年,現在仍然沒一點兒毛病。

Your inefficiency,which we have put up with far too long,is beginning to annoy our customers.

我們對你的不稱職容忍得太久,而顧客也開始對此感到不滿意了。

E 所有格

用whose或of which。

whose一般用來指動物和事物,of which可以用來指物,但是

除在很正式的英語中之外,比較罕見。

His house,whose windows were all broken,was a depressing sight.

他的房子窗戶無一完好,一派令人心酸的景象。

The car,whose handbrake wasn’t very reliable,began to slide backwards.

那輛車的手閘不太可靠,車開始向後滑動。
