3.注意事项
下面我们用三组例句进行归类,每组例句都分别包含一个主语从句、宾语从句和表语从句。
①that引导的名词性从句
·That our team had won the match made us excited.(主语从句)
·The headmaster said that our team had won the match.(宾语从句)

·Whether she will agree with me doesn't matter too much.(主语从句)
·I wonder whether she will agree with me.(宾语从句)

(2)what充当复合连接代词
需要特别注意的是,what有时候带有疑问的意思,有时候没有疑问的意思。
·I don't know what I should do next.
我不知道下一步该做什么。(what在句中是连接代词,本身带有疑问的意思)
·I finally understand what you said.
我终于明白你说的话了。(what在句中是复合连接代词,相当于the words that。也就是说,what充当复合连接代词时,身兼两职,它既是先行词,又是关系代词,此时what没有疑问的意思)
以下是what充当复合连接代词的例句:
·What we need is a draft.
我们所需要的就是一个草案。
·The adventurer got what he wanted.
冒险家得到了他想要的(东西)。
·That is what I heard on the minibus.
那就是我在小型公共汽车上听到的。
·What appears difficult may be very easy.
看起来很难的事情也许很容易。
那么如何区别what是表疑问的“连接代词”,还是不含疑问的“复合连接代词”呢?这里有规律可循:一般说来,what引导的句子如果与表示“疑问、询问、怀疑、质疑、好奇、不知道、想知道、不清楚、不明白、不理解、不确定、悬而未决”等意义的动词连用,那么what往往就是前者,反之则是后者。
[试比较]
·What we will do hasn't been discussed.
我们将要做什么还没有讨论。(what是表疑问的连接代词)
·What we will do is of great importance.
我们将要做的事情是非常重要的。(what是不含疑问的复合连接代词)
四、同位语从句◎
1.同位语定义
同位语是句子成分的一种。它位于名词或代词后,说明它们的性质或状况。同位语可以由名词(短语)、代词、数词或从句充当。

(名词作同位语)
我们老师注定要承担这项任务。
·Mr Black, my friend, is glad to team up with us.(名词短语作同位语)

你可以雇我们两个给你拿行李。
2.同位语从句
定义 在复合句中用作同位语的从句叫同位语从句。它一般跟在某个抽象名词后面
常用名词 fact, news, hope, truth, idea, suggestion, thought,question, promise, order, problem, belief, word (消息), message, information, proof, announcement, desire, doubt, answer, evidence, proposal, advice, possibility, statement等
引导词 that, whether, who, what, which, how, when, where, why等

·Here came the news that the scientists had made a major breakthrough in cloning.
传来了科学家在克隆方面取得了重大突破的消息。
·I have no idea that you have applied for the post.
我不知道你已经申请了这个职位。
(2)whether引导同位语从句
whether意为“是否”,仅起引导作用,在句中不作成分。

·The question whether it needs reforming will be discussed at the meeting.
它是否需要改革这个问题将在会议上被讨论。
(3)连接代词who, what, which等引导同位语从句时,在从句中常作主语、宾语或表语;连接副词when, where, why, how等引导同位语从句时,常在从句中作状语。
·The question who should do the work requires reasonable consideration.

·I have no idea how they were able to get it done in so short a time.
我不知道他们是如何在这么短的时间里完成它的。
【学法点拨】
同位语从句在句子中一般紧跟在名词之后,但也可以被主句的其他成分隔开,称为分隔式同位语从句。
He got the news from Mary that Mr Roger retired last week.
他从玛丽那里得到消息,罗杰先生上周退休了。
3.同位语从句与定语从句的区别
(1)从句引导词that的用法不同
·The twins told me the news that our team had won the match.这对双胞胎告诉了我我们队赢得了比赛的这个消息。(同位语从句)
·The twins told me the news that/which was very exciting.这对双胞胎告诉了我这个非常激动人心的消息。(定语从句)
(2)从句的作用不同
同位语从句 名词性的 对名词进行解释说明
定语从句 形容词性的 对先行词加以修饰、限定或补充说明,不涉及它的具体内容
·The news that the Italian will go abroad next year was told by him.
这个意大利人明年要出国的消息是他说的。
(that the Italian will go abroad next year是the news的同位语,解释说明the news的具体内容)
·The news that he told me is that the Italian will go abroad next year.
他告诉我的消息是这个意大利人明年要出国。(that he told me是定语从句,对the news进行修饰和限定,并未涉及the news的具体内容)
【学法点拨】
同位语从句与其所修饰的名词是一种同位关系,二者存在逻辑上的系表关系,还可用“主+系+表”结构来表示。
The news that Daniel received a punishment is true.
丹尼尔受到处罚的那个消息是真的。
The news is that Daniel received a punishment.
消息是丹尼尔受到了处罚。
(3)从句前的词类不同
同位语从句 只能跟在抽象名词如fact, idea, opinion, conclusion等的后面
定语从句 先行词可以是名词、代词、主句的一部分或是整个主句
The news spread that Tom had won first prize.
汤姆得了一等奖的消息传开了。(同位语从句)
Tom won first prize, which surprised me.
汤姆得了一等奖,这让我很惊讶。(定语从句,先行词是整个主句)

看起来很难的事情也许很容易。
那么如何区别what是表疑问的“连接代词”,还是不含疑问的“复合连接代词”呢?这里有规律可循:一般说来,what引导的句子如果与表示“疑问、询问、怀疑、质疑、好奇、不知道、想知道、不清楚、不明白、不理解、不确定、悬而未决”等意义的动词连用,那么what往往就是前者,反之则是后者。
[试比较]
·What we will do hasn't been discussed.
我们将要做什么还没有讨论。(what是表疑问的连接代词)
·What we will do is of great importance.
我们将要做的事情是非常重要的。(what是不含疑问的复合连接代词)
四、同位语从句◎
1.同位语定义
同位语是句子成分的一种。它位于名词或代词后,说明它们的性质或状况。同位语可以由名词(短语)、代词、数词或从句充当。
·We teachers are bound to undertake this task.
(名词作同位语)
我们老师注定要承担这项任务。
·Mr Black, my friend, is glad to team up with us.(名词短语作同位语)
我的朋友布莱克先生很乐意与我们合作。
·They each objected to the plan.(代词作同位语)
他们每个人都反对这项计划。
·You may hire us two to carry your luggage.(数词作同位语)
你可以雇我们两个给你拿行李。
2.同位语从句
定义 在复合句中用作同位语的从句叫同位语从句。它一般跟在某个抽象名词后面
常用名词 fact, news, hope, truth, idea, suggestion, thought,question, promise, order, problem, belief, word (消息), message, information, proof, announcement, desire, doubt, answer, evidence, proposal, advice, possibility, statement等
引导词 that, whether, who, what, which, how, when, where, why等
(1)that引导同位语从句
that不作成分,也没有词义,但是不能省略。
·Here came the news that the scientists had made a major breakthrough in cloning.
传来了科学家在克隆方面取得了重大突破的消息。
·I have no idea that you have applied for the post.
我不知道你已经申请了这个职位。
(2)whether引导同位语从句
whether意为“是否”,仅起引导作用,在句中不作成分。
·There is some doubt whether John will resist regulations.有人怀疑约翰是否会抵制规则。
·The question whether it needs reforming will be discussed at the meeting.
它是否需要改革这个问题将在会议上被讨论。
(3)连接代词who, what, which等引导同位语从句时,在从句中常作主语、宾语或表语;连接副词when, where, why, how等引导同位语从句时,常在从句中作状语。
·The question who should do the work requires reasonable consideration.
谁该做这项工作的问题需要合理考虑。
·I have no idea what the procedure for applying for a visa is.我不知道申请签证的程序是什么。
·My initial question, why she did that, has not been answered.
她为什么做那件事,我最初的这个问题还没有得到回答。
·I have no idea how they were able to get it done in so short a time.
我不知道他们是如何在这么短的时间里完成它的。
【学法点拨】
同位语从句在句子中一般紧跟在名词之后,但也可以被主句的其他成分隔开,称为分隔式同位语从句。
He got the news from Mary that Mr Roger retired last week.
他从玛丽那里得到消息,罗杰先生上周退休了。
3.同位语从句与定语从句的区别
(1)从句引导词that的用法不同
·The twins told me the news that our team had won the match.这对双胞胎告诉了我我们队赢得了比赛的这个消息。(同位语从句)
·The twins told me the news that/which was very exciting.这对双胞胎告诉了我这个非常激动人心的消息。(定语从句)
(2)从句的作用不同
同位语从句 名词性的 对名词进行解释说明
定语从句 形容词性的 对先行词加以修饰、限定或补充说明,不涉及它的具体内容
·The news that the Italian will go abroad next year was told by him.
这个意大利人明年要出国的消息是他说的。
(that the Italian will go abroad next year是the news的同位语,解释说明the news的具体内容)
·The news that he told me is that the Italian will go abroad next year.
他告诉我的消息是这个意大利人明年要出国。(that he told me是定语从句,对the news进行修饰和限定,并未涉及the news的具体内容)
【学法点拨】
同位语从句与其所修饰的名词是一种同位关系,二者存在逻辑上的系表关系,还可用“主+系+表”结构来表示。
The news that Daniel received a punishment is true.
丹尼尔受到处罚的那个消息是真的。
The news is that Daniel received a punishment.
消息是丹尼尔受到了处罚。
(3)从句前的词类不同
The news spread that Tom had won first prize.
汤姆得了一等奖的消息传开了。(同位语从句)
Tom won first prize, which surprised me.
汤姆得了一等奖,这让我很惊讶。(定语从句,先行词是整个主句)
同位语从句 只能跟在抽象名词如fact, idea, opinion, conclusion等的后面
定语从句 先行词可以是名词、代词、主句的一部分或是整个主句
