定語從句在聽力、閱讀和翻譯中經常出現,是需要重點把握的語法點之一。

在把握定語從句的時候大家要注意以下幾點:

1. 定語從句的作用主要是用來修飾先行詞;

2. 定語從句和主句之間需要有關系詞來進行連接;

3. 關系詞在從句中代替先行詞,并且充當一定的成分。根據關系詞在從句中成分的不同,關系詞是有所不同的。

例1

Great changes have taken place in the?factory? ?where???we are working.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?先行詞? ??關系詞????由where引導的從句

在這個例句中,factory是先行詞,由where引導的定語從句來修飾;同時由where替代的這個先行詞在從句中作狀語。如果仍然不能分清結構,可以把句子拆分:

主句: Great changes have taken place in the?factory.

從句: We are working?in the factory.

關系詞如何選擇?可以分三步走

第一步,首先確定先行詞;

第二步,然后確定它在定語從句中做什么成分;

第三步,之后可以進行具體分類。

1. 先行詞是人:如果在從句中做主語,關系詞用who;做賓語,用who 或whom;做定語,用whose

2

He is the person who/whom we are looking for.

2. 先行詞是物:在從句中做主語或賓語都用which;作定語用of which, 或whose;

3

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

注意:

1) 如果先行詞在從句中做狀語,表示時間、地點和原因,關系詞就要使用when,where和why. 如例1的情況就是先行詞在從句中充當地點狀語,因此用where.

2)?在限定性定語從句中,which, who, whom?都可以被that?取代。所以例2、例3中的關系詞也可以省略。

3) 非限制性定語從句通常標志,從句和主語之間用逗號隔開。

例4:

This is a critical problem in the company,?which?need to be solved immediately.

這個句子就是非限定性定語從句,在這種情況下,關系詞通常用which。

真題示例

The prevention and treatment of AIDS is?_______(我們可以合作的領域) .

1.?已有謂語is,空白處一定是從句

2.?漢語意思已經是完整的一句話,因此,一定是定語從句,并確定先行詞:領域,the field?或a field,不用想,一般用which引導

3.?先行詞要提前,所以僅按順序譯“我們可以合作的”:we can cooperate

確定介詞,在……領域,用in,答案為:in the/a field which we can cooperate

【解析】

1. 當先行詞被same修飾時,定語從句由that或as引導,但意思不同。用that引導定語從句指同一物,而用as引導定語從句指同類事物。

2. A. with which是"介詞+關系代詞"結構, 常用來引導定語從句. with有"用"的意思,介詞之后只能用which,不能用that. with which在定語從句中作狀語,即he is writing with a pen.

3. with whom引導定語從句。with whom放在從句中即為:my father works with the engineer.

4. 因為先行詞是the time,且在定語從句中作狀語,所以用when引導。此題的先行詞與定語從句被主句謂語分開了,要善于辨別。

5. 非限定性定語從句。先行詞為the exciting moment , 將先行詞放入從句為For the first time in the years their team won the world cup at the moment, 先行詞放入從句作時間狀語。 句中for the first time in years為強詞調結構。 答案為D。

6. 當定語從句的先行詞前有such, so, as等詞語時,由as引導,并且as在定語從句中作主語或賓語,as在此題中作dream of的賓語。注意:在表示“如此…以致…”的such /so…that…結構中,that不作任何句子成份。

7. through which引導定語從句,through which即through the hole,在定語從句中作狀語。What引導的是see的賓語從句,并作從句的主語。

8. 主語與run(延伸)是主動關系,所以用現在分詞。Those指街道,先行詞為物,所以不用who而用that來引導定語從句。

9.前一空定語從句的完整句為I lived in the country with the farmers those years. 先行詞在從句中作非主賓表成分,先行詞與時間相關。后一定語從句的完整句子在理解基礎上的意思轉換為The experience has a great effect on my life. The experience= I lived in the country with the farmers those years。所以整句為先行詞,在從句中做主語。因此,答案為B。

10. 限定性定語從句。先行語the dictionary, 放入從句為you talked about the dictionary the other day. 先行詞短語結構在從句中作賓語,從句可用about which you talked the other day 或 which/ that/ 省略引導詞 you talked about the other day. 答案為D。
