The Attributive Clause
一、关系副词
引导定语从句的关系副词有when, where或why等。when, where, why均在定语从句中作状语,在意义上相当于“介词 + which”结构,分别代替表示时间、地点或原因的先行词。
1. when 指时间,在定语从句中作时间状语。
I still remember the day when I first came to this school.
我仍然记得我第一次来到这所学校的那一天。(when = on which)
He came at a time when we needed him most.
他是在我们最需要他的时候来的。(when = at which)
2. where指地点,在定语从句中作地点状语。
I recently went back to the town where I was born.
我最近曾回过一次我出生的城市。(where = in which)
What's the name of the place where you spent your holiday
你度假的那个地方叫什么名字? (where = at which)
3. why 指原因,在限制性定语从句中作原因状语。
Please tell me the reason why you missed the plane.
请告诉我你误机的原因。(why = for which)
The reason why he was punished is unknown to us.
他受惩罚的原因我们都不知道。
4. that代替关系副词,可以用于表示时间、地点、方式、理由的名词后取代when, where, why及“介词 + which”,在口语中that常被省略。例如:
His father died the year (that / when / in which) he was born.他父亲在他出生那年逝世了。
He is unlikely to find the place (that / where / in which) he lived forty years ago.
他不大可能找到他四十年前居住过的地方。
注意,无论是关系代词,还是关系副词,都在定语从句中取代了先行词,因此,先行词在定语从句中不复出现。
This is the book that I borrowed it yesterday. (×)
This is the book that I borrowed yesterday. (√)
这就是我昨天借的书。
that在定语从句中取代了先行词the book,作borrowed的宾语,因此,要去掉it。
The English Corner is the place where people often go there to practise their spoken English. (×)
The English Corner is the place where people often go to practise their spoken English. (√)
英语角是人们经常去练习英语口语的地方。
where在定语从句中取代了先行词the space,作go的状语,因此,要去掉there
二、 “介词 + 关系代词”引导的定语从句
“介词 + 关系代词”引导的定语从句是一种既非常常见又比较复杂的定语从句结构。
1.“介词 + 关系代词”中介词的位置
关系代词whom, which在从句中作介词宾语时,可以跟介词一起放在从句与主句之间(that, who不可以),也可以把介词放在从句中有关动词的后面,使关系代词紧跟它所修饰的先行词。例如:
He is a man of rich experience, from whom much can be learned.
(= He is a man of rich experience, whom much can be learned from.)
他是个经验丰富的人,从他那儿可以学到很多。
The school in which he once worked is a key school.
(=The school (which / that) he once worked in is a key school.)
他曾经工作过的学校是一所重点学校。
2. “介词 + 关系代词”的常见结构:
① 介词 + which/whom
This is the famous singer about whom we have often talked.
这就是那位我们经常谈论的著名歌唱家。
Fortunately we had a map, without which we would have got lost.
很幸运,我们带了一张地图,如没有的话,我们就会迷路了。
② 名词 + of + which/whom
Please pass me the book the cover of which is blue.
请把那本蓝封面的书递给我。
③数词 + of + which/whom
She's got three luck pens, two of which she never uses.
她有三支幸运笔,其中两支从未用过。
In our school there are about 200 teachers, thirty percent of whom are women.
我校大约有200位教师,其中百分之三十是女教师。
④ 代词 + of + which/whom
In the basket I find many apples, some of which have gone bad.
我发现篮子里有好些苹果,有些已经坏了。
There are fifty students in our class, most of whom are from big cities.
我们班有50个学生,其中大多数来自大城市。
⑤ 最高级 + of + which/whom
China has thousands of islands, the largest of which is Taiwan.
中国有数千个岛屿,其中最大的是台湾岛。
⑥ 介词 + which + 名词
He usually returns home at 10:00, at which hour his father locks all the doors and windows.
他通常十点钟回家,这时候他爸爸锁好所有的门窗。
含有介词的短语动词(如:look for, look after, take care of)一般不拆开,介词仍放在短语动词的后面。
This is the very book for which I am looking. (×)
This is the very book (that) I am looking for. (√)
这正是我在找的书。
3. 关系代词前介词的选择
① 根据动词和介词的搭配关系选择。
The things of which they felt proud were Jim's watch and Della's hair.
他们引以为豪的东西是吉姆的手表和德拉的头发。(feel proud of是词组)
In the dark street there was not a single person to whom she could turn for help.
在漆黑的街道上没有一个她可以求助的人。(turn to sb. for help是固定搭配词组)
② 根据与前面名词的搭配关系选择。
I'll never forget the day on which I first met him.
我永远忘不了我第一次遇见他的那一天。(the day前面一般用介词on)
Can you imagine a proper situation in which the expression can be used
你能设想一个使用这个词语的场合吗?(a situation前面一般用in)
③ 有时需同时考虑动词和介词的搭配关系及介词和名词的搭配关系。
Galileo made a telescope through which he could study the sky.
伽里略制作了一个望远镜,通过它他得以研究天空。
(study the sky through the telescope)
Is that the house in which you once lived
那就是你曾经住过的房子吗?(live in the house)
④ 根据所要表达的意思来确定。
This is my pair of glasses, without which I cannot see clearly.
这是我的眼镜,离了它我什么也看不清。
三、 关系副词和关系代词的选择
当先行词是表示时间、地点或原因的名词时,定语从句用关系副词还是关系代词来引导,要根据关系词在定语从句中所担当的句子成分来决定。
1.用关系代词,还是关系副词完全取决于从句中的谓语动词。及物动词后面无宾语,就必须要求用关系代词;而不及物动词则要求用关系副词。例如:
This is the mountain village where I stayed last year.
这是我去年呆过的山村。
I'll never forget the days when I worked together with you.
我永远不会忘记与你共事的日子。
2.准确判断先行词在定语从句中的成分(主、谓、宾、定、状),也能正确选择出关系代词/关系副词。学生习惯上总把表地点或时间的名词与关系副词 where, when联系在一起。
I will never forget the days when we spent our holidays together.
我永远忘不了我们一起度假的日子。(when作状语)
I will never forget the days which we spent together.
我永远忘不了我们一起度过的日子。(which作spent的宾语)
I know a place where we can have a picnic.
我知道一个我们可以野炊的地方。(where作状语)
I know a place which is famous for its beautiful natural scenery.
我知道一个以自然景色优美而闻名地地方。(which作主语)
例1. Is this museum ___ you visited a few days age
A. where B. that C. on which D. the one
例2. Is this the museum ____ the exhibition was held.
A. where B. that C. on which D. the one
答案:例1 D,例2 A
例1变为肯定句: This museum is ___ you visited a few days ago.
例2变为肯定句: This is the museum ___ the exhibition was held.
在句1中,所缺部分为宾语,而where, that, on which都不能起到宾语的作用,只有the one既做了主句的表语,又可做从句的宾语,可以省略关系代词,所以应选D。 而句2中, 主、谓、宾俱全,从句部分为句子的状语表地点,既可用副词where,又因 in the museum词组,可用介词in + which 引导地点状语。而此题中,介词on 用的不对,所以选A。
[典例解析]
1. Do you still remember the chicken farm ___ we visited three months ago
A. where B. when C. that D. what
[解析]定语从句不用what,排除D;不缺时间状语排除B; visited vt. 缺宾语,故选C
2. If a shop has chairs __ women can park their men, women will spend more time in shop.
A .that B. which C. when D. where
[解析]本句不缺主语、宾语,故排除A.B 。where=on the chairs= on which ,在定语从句中作地点状语,故选D。
3. I have many friends, ___some are businessmen.
A. of them B. from which C. whom of D. of whom
[答案]D.
下面几个句子都是正确的:
I have many friends, some of whom are businessmen.
I have many friends of whom some are businessmen.
I have many friends. Some of them are businessmen.
I have many friends; some of them are businessmen.
I have many friends, and some of them are businessmen.
对比:A few people were killed in the big fire, but __were saved.
A. most B. most of them C. most of whom D. the most
本题若只看结构,易误选B,但据语境“有几个人在大火中丧生了,但大多数得救了。”应选A。
