定语从句
在复合句中作定语,修饰名词、代词等的从句叫定语从句。
在复合句中,被定语从句修饰的名词、代词等,叫做先行词。引导定语从句的词被称为关系词。
先行词
被定语从句修饰的名词、代词等称为先行词。例:This is the museum which was built last year.
先行词一般出现在定语从句之前。
有时先行词是整个句子。例:They sent my child to the school every morning, which I considered a great help to me.
分类 关系词 指代对象 在从句中的作用
关系代词 who 指人 作主语、宾语、表语
whom 指人 作宾语
whose 指人或物 作定语
that 指人或物 作主语、表语或宾语
which 指物 作主语、宾语、表语、定语
as 指人或物 作主语、宾语、表语
关系副词 when 指时间 作时间状语

定语从句中的关系词
关系词的作用
引导定语从句
代替先行词
在定语从句中担当一个成分
注意
关系词指代先行词在定语从句中充当成分,因此在定语从句中不能再重复先行词或指先行词的代词。
定语从句的分类
限制性定语从句
非限制性定语从句
作宾语时,可用 who或that替代whom
只可修饰先行词,不可以修饰主句或主句的一部分
翻译成“……的”
和先行词的关系密切,不用逗号分开
可用关系词 that 引导
可以省略关系词(关系词作宾语时)
不可用 who 替代 whom
修饰整个主句或主句的一部分
往往不译为“……的”
和先行词的关系不密切(是补充说明)
不可用关系词 that 来引导
关系词作宾语不可省略
一般使用逗号分开
例如:People who take physical exercise live longer.
(限制性)进行锻炼的人活得长些。
(定语从句修饰 people,若把从句去掉,句子就失去意义)
His daughter, who is in Boston now, is coming here. (非限制性) 他女儿现在在波士顿,她就要来这儿了。
(若把从句去掉句子完整)
that
引导定语从句
引导名词性从句

I visited Mr and Mrs Smith in New York in 2014, when their first child was born.
我在2014年拜访了住在纽约的 Smith 夫妇,那年他们的第一个孩子出生了。
注意 when、where、why 引导的定语从句与它们引导的状语从句、名词性从句在表意和功能上的区别。
该句中,when 引导定语从句,指代 in 2014,在定语从句中作时间状语。
I visited Mr and Mrs Smith in New York when their first child was born.
在 Smith 夫妇第一个孩子出生那年,我在纽约拜访了他们。
该句中,when 引导时间状语从句,整个从句充当时间状语。
I visited Mr and Mrs Smith in New York. It was when their first child was born.
我拜访了住在纽约的 Smith夫妇。那年他们的第一个孩子出生了。
该句中,when 为连接副词,引导表语从句。
你能举出 where、why 引导定语从句、状语从句和名词性从句的例子吗?
In the museum I saw an old book that was published in the 17th century.
注意定语从句与非谓语动词结构在表意和功能上的异同,以及两者之间的转换。
= In the museum I saw an old book published in the 17th century. 我在博物馆里看见了一本17世纪出版的旧书。
(定语从句修饰先行词 book)
非谓语动词结构修饰名词 book,两者为被动关系
练习:把下列定语从句转换为非谓语动词结构。
① The meeting which is being held now is of great importance.
The meeting ______________ is of great importance.
② Do you know the man who is sitting in the middle of the first row
Do you know the man _______________________________

Activity 2 Read the passage and rewrite the underlined sentences using attributive clauses.
Good Deal is a local movement in some countries. It works to help farmers and workers in less developed areas receive a better deal for their produce. Good Deal products may be a little more expensive than regular products, but up to one-third of the sale price will be given back to the producers. This is more than they could get under the conventional trading system.
Good Deal is a local movement in some countries(,) which works to help farmers and workers in less developed areas receive a better deal for their produce.
The movement has proven popular among young people, and they want to help producers get the payment they deserve. They have no problem spending a bit more on Good Deal products, believing that their purchasing of these products will help improve local people’s welfare.
However, some people are less optimistic, and argue that it discriminates against producers not part of the Good Deal movement.

Did You Know
Credit, or the offering of money loans for repayment, has existed since the Bronze Age. For most of this history, lenders relied mainly on their subjective judgement when deciding whether or not a borrower was creditworthy. With the development of information technology and data analysis, more and more countries are building their own credit systems with objective credit rating methods. People’s activities such as credit card payments, loan payments, etc, are recorded and scored, and will affect their future creditworthiness.
