限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句的区别:
1.功能和形式不同
限制性定语从句的主句和从句之间不用逗号隔开,从句对先行词的意义进行修饰、限定和识别,如果把从句去掉,句意就会发生变化,甚至不能成立;
My sister who works in Shanghai sends me an email almost every day.
(限制性定语从句)
除了在上海工作的姐姐,还有其他姐姐,需要限定。从句删去后,会表意不明。
我在上海工作的姐姐几乎每天都给我发电子邮件。

My sister, who works in Shanghai, sends me an email almost every day.
我姐姐在上海工作,几乎每天都给我发电子邮件。
(非限制性定语从句)
我只有一个姐姐,不需要限定。删去从句后,句意依然明确。
CREATIVE PORTFOLIO
2. 翻译不同
限制性定语从句翻译时,要译在它所修饰的先行词之前。
非限制性定语从句通常与主句分开翻译。
He is the man whose car was stolen.
他就是汽车被窃的那个人。
I’ve invited Mary, who lives in the next flat.
我邀请了Mary,她就住在隔壁。
Translate the following sentences and compare.
(1) Charles Smith, who was my former teacher, retired last year.

(2) They rely on themselves, which is much better.
他们依靠自己,这样好的多。
(3) My sister who works in Shanghai sends me an email almost every day.
我在上海工作的姐姐几乎每天都给我发电子邮件。
(4) He is the man whose car was stolen.
他就是汽车被窃的那个人。
Translate the following sentences and compare.
(1) Charles Smith, who was my former teacher, retired last year.

(2) They rely on themselves, which is much better.

(3) My sister who works in Shanghai sends me an email almost every day.
我在上海工作的姐姐几乎每天都给我发电子邮件。
(4) He is the man whose car was stolen.
他就是汽车被窃的那个人。
翻译对比小结
1)非限制性定语从句通常译成主句的并列句;
2)限制性定语从句译成先行词的定语:“……的 ”。
CREATIVE PORTFOLIO
3. 先行词不同
限制性定语从句的先行词常常是名词或代词;
Shanghai is no longer the city that it used to be.
上海不再是过去的那座城市了。
He who laughs last, laughs best.
谁笑到最后,谁笑得最好。
先行词是代词

非限制性定语从句的先行词可以是名词或代词,也可以是短语或整个句子。

同限制性定语从句一样,非限制性定语从句也可由关系代词/关系副词引导,但从句中的关系词不可省略,关系代词that和关系副词why不可用于非限制性定语从句。
(1) St Petersburg, which is a very beautiful city, was once called Leningrad.
(2) Yesterday I met Li Ping, who seemed to be very busy.
(3) He came to the United States in 1914, when World WarⅠbroke out.
(4) Singapore, where I have lived for ten years, is a nice place.
(5) The Queen will visit the town in May, when she will open the new hospital.

as 可以像which 一样引导一个定语从句修饰整个先行主句,而不是某一个单词,常常可以译为“正如,正像;这”,而which 一般译为“这”;
as是关系词中唯一可以置于句首的关系词。
(1) Taiwan belongs to China, as is known.
众所周知,台湾是属于中国的。
(2) Things will turn out contrary to one's wishes, as/which is often the case.
事与愿违,这是常有的事。
(3) As the saying goes, “A year's work begins with Spring.”
正如俗语所说,一年之计在于春。

介词+ 关系代词也可引导非限制性定语从句
但在这种定语从句中,介词通常前置,关系代词也不可省略。
(1) The car, for which I paid a lot of money, is now out of date.
(2) I suggest you go to a specialist, from whom you can get answers to most of your questions.
(3) In this chapter, one of our problems is to discover the principles on which these tests are based.

an example of the actor’s works

a reason why the actor is one of the best
Because he knows how to use his body and

He is working on a production line in a factory. When a bee starts circling around his face, he falls behind with his work. The way that he tries to keep up is very funny.
a famous character played by the actor
The Tramp.
the author’s comments on the actor
Charlie Chaplin was one of the best comedy actors of his time.
1. Charlie Chaplin was a British actor, filmmaker and
composer . He became famous in the 1910s, when
films were silent and in black and white.
2. Charlie Chaplin was one of the best comedy actors
of his time because he knew how to use
his body and facial features to make people laugh.
In my opinion, the funniest thing about Charlie
Chaplin was the way he walked when he was acting
as the Tramp, who is his most famous character.
The Tramp is a poor man with a kind heart
who has unexpected adventures.
These adventures, often involving the police, are
usually the funniest scenes.
他在20世纪10年代成名,当时电影还是无声的黑白电影。
在我看来,查理·卓别林最有趣的事情是他扮演(塔姆鄱)流浪汉时的走路方式, (塔姆鄱)流浪汉是他最著名的角色。 (塔姆鄱)流浪汉是一个心地善良的穷人 ,有着意想不到的冒险经历。
3. My favourite Charlie Chaplin film is Modern Times
and my favourite scene is in the factory
where Charlie Chaplin is working on a production line.
When a bee starts circling around Charlie’s face, he
falls behind with his work. It’s so funny to watch him
trying to keep up.
4. I think the power of Charlie Chaplin’s works is not
only in his acting, but also in the stories and
characters he created .The Tramp is a symbol of the
silent cinema and even after so many years,
he is still able to make people laugh.
我认为查理·卓别林作品的力量不仅体现在他的表演上 ,还体现在他创造的故事和人物上 。
我最喜欢的场景是在工厂里,查理·卓别林在生产线上工作。

Dear Eric,
I’m glad to hear that you are interested in Chinese cross talk and I’m writing to introduce Ma Sanli, one of the most famous Chinese performing artists of cross talk.
Ma Sanli was born on October 1, 1914 and died on February 11,2003. At an early age, he had cross talk because of the poverty of his family. It was in 1930 that he started to perform on the stage. During his whole life, he created a large number of excellent works, many of which are still popular among people now. His unique style has a positive effect on the development of Chinese cross-talk and he is considered as a master of humour. You can appreciate this works on Chinese artist website.
Wish you great progress in your learning of Chinese cross talk.
Yours,

Tang Jiezhong, one of China’s top cross-talk artists, died in BeiJing on 18 June 2017. The 85-year-old had worked with a number of outstanding comedians throughout his career在他的整个职业生涯中, including Ma Ji and Jiang Kun.
Tang made a great contribution to the Chinese cross-talk. In his performances, he played many different funny characters very vividly. For instance, he imitated different singing styles to make people laugh.
My favourite Tang Jiezhong’s work is The Reverie In the Tiger’s Den 《虎口遐想》with Jiang Kun. A twenty-eight lad小伙子was trapped in the tiger’s den by mistake, which caused a series of funny daydreams. And many people tried their best to rescue him. I adored their performing style and humour.
Tang dedicated his life to the cross-talk career. He performed many times in a row 连续at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. He is really a great cross-talk performer.
