Grammar
PART. 02
Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
1. What do “where”, “which” and “when” refer to in each sentence
In sentence (a) “where” refers to “the waiting area”; in sentence (b) “which” refers to ”... laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better”; in sentence (c) “when” refers to “the time”.
Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
2. Which sentences contain a clause with essential information and which with extra information If you take away the clauses, do the sentences still make sense
Sentence (c) contains a clause with essential information, sentences (a) and (b) contain clauses with extra information, If we take away the clause of sentence(c), the meaning of it is incomplete. If we take away the clauses of sentences (a) and (b), the two sentences still make sense.
3. Which clauses are separated by a comma, the ones with essential information or the ones with extra information
Sentences (a) and (b) with extra information are separated by commas.
Non-defining attributive clauses (非限制性定语从句)
定语从句:在复合句中用来限制、描绘或说明主句中某一名词或代词而起定语作用的从句。
先行词:定语从句所修饰的名词或代词叫作先行词。先行词可以是人、物,也可以是整个句子或者句子的一部分,先行词一般位于定语从句之前。
She is a kind teacher who often helps students with their problems.
Tom decided to start his own business, which amazed his parents.
关系词:引导定语从句的词叫作关系词。按照关系词在定语从句中所作的成分,可将关系词分为关系代词和关系副词。
The beautiful city which/that we visited last summer is Hangzhou.
This is the place where I met my best friend.
关系词 关系词 先行词 充当的成分
关系代词 that 指人、物 主语、宾语、表语
which 指物、句子 主语、宾语、表语

whose 指人、物 定语
as 指人、物或句子 主语、宾语、表语

一、定语从句的分类
1. 限制性定语从句
限制性定语从句对先行词起修饰、限制作用,是句中不可缺少的部分,主句和从句关系非常紧密,不能用逗号分开。
He bought the book that/which is recommended by the teacher.
2. 非限制性定语从句
非限制性定语从句往往是对先行词或整个主句进行附加说明,主从句的关系并不十分密切,若将其去掉,主句的意义仍然完整清楚。从句和主句之间往往用逗号隔开。除了that和why不能引导之外,所有其他关系词如 who, whom, which, whose, as, when,where 等均可引导。
Beijing, which is the capital of China, has a long history.
限制性定语从句 非限制性定语从句
先行词可以用that, why引导 先行词不可以用that, why引导
主句与从句之间不需要用逗号隔开,译成一句话 主句与从句需要用逗号隔开,可译成两句话
引导词有时可以省略(作宾语时) 引导词不可以省略
whom可用who或that代替 whom不可被代替
从句只修饰先行词 从句既可以修饰先行词,也可以修饰整个句子或句子的一部分
二、非限制性定语从句的使用情况
1. 当关系代词指代整个主句内容时,用非限制性定语从句(用which或as引导)。
She won the first prize in the competition, which made her classmates really proud.
她在比赛中得了一等奖,这让她的同学们特别骄傲。
2. 当先行词指的是世界上独一无二的事物或专有名词时,用非限制性定语从句。
The Great Wall, which stands as a symbol of Chinese history, attracts millions of tourists yearly.
长城作为中国历史的象征,每年吸引数百万游客。
Mount Qomolangma, which is the highest peak on Earth, has inspired adventurers.
珠穆朗玛峰是地球最高峰,激励了探险者 。
3. 先行词指某人的亲属关系,具有唯一性和确认性时,例如son, daughter, father, mother, wife 等,用非限制性定语从句。
Her mother, who runs a popular bakery downtown, often shares homemade pastries with neighbors.
她妈妈在市中心经营一家很火的面包店,经常给邻居分享自制糕点。
4. 当引导定语从句的关系代词中,含有some/many/few/a few/little/a little/none/ much/most/half of which (whom)等时,多用非限制性定语从句。
The library has hundreds of old books, few of which have been digitized so far.
图书馆藏有数百本古籍,目前很少有被数字化的。
三、关系代词引导的非限制性定语从句
1. which 指物,在定语从句中作主语或宾语。
I bought a hand-made vase yesterday, which was crafted by a local artisan.
我昨天买了一个手工花瓶,是当地一位工匠制作的。
2. who 指人,在定语从句中作主语或宾语。
Anna, who is an environmental volunteer, often organizes beach-cleaning activities.

他忘了带笔,这是常有的事。
As we all recognize, protecting wildlife is key to ecological balance.
众所周知,保护野生动物对生态平衡至关重要 。
四、as与which引导的非限制性定语从句的区别
1. as引导定语从句时,仍具有“正如,像,由……可知”等意思,这些字眼翻译时可 不必译出。as定语从句中常含有这些动词:see, know, hear, watch, remember, say, tell, show, expect, guess等。这类动词与as连用几乎成了一种固定搭配。as引导的定语从句可以置于句首、句中或向尾。
She is always working hard, as everyone can see.
正如大家所看到的那样,她一直工作很努力。
2. 在从句中作定语或介词的宾语时,要用 which。
My cousins might visit this weekend, in which situation we’ll prepare a big dinner.
我的表兄妹们这周末可能来,要是那样的话,我们就准备一顿丰盛的晚餐。
3. which引导的从句对主句所叙述的事情进行补充说明表明事物的状态或结果。
which此时指前面主句所提到的这件事,常译为“这一点,这件事”等。这时它所引导的从句与主句之间常表示并列意义或状语意义。注意它引导的从句不像as那样位置灵活,它只能位于主句的后面。
The school canceled the outdoor activity, which disappointed all the students.
学校取消了户外活动,这让所有学生都很失望。
4. 当从句的谓语是否定形式或含着一个复合宾语时,一般用which而不用as。
He avoided joining the football team, which his coach couldn’t figure out.
他回避加入足球队,教练一直搞不懂这事。
五、关系副词引导的非限制性定语从句
1. 关系副词when在非限制性定语从句中作时间状语,指代主句中表示时间的词语。
We moved the family gathering to Sunday, when all relatives can attend.
我们把家庭聚会改到周日,那时所有亲戚都能参加。
