②She is an artist, which I am not.
(2) which指代主句中的形容词。
①She is very patient towards the children, which her husband seldom is.
②She is always careless, which we should not be.
(3) which指代主句中的某个从句。
He said that he had never seen her before, which was not true.
(4) which指代整个主句。
①In the presence of so many people he was a little tense, which was understandable.
②He may have acute appendicitis, in which case he will have to be operated on.
5. when引导
关系副词when在非限制性定语从句中做时间状语,指代主句中表示时间的词语。
He will put off the picnic until May 1st, when he will be free.
6. where引导
关系副词where在非限制性定语从句中做地点状语,指代主句中表示地点的词语。
They went to London, where they lived for six months.
7. as引导
as引导非限制性定语从句时,代替整个主句,对其进行说明,通常用于像as we all know、as it is known、as is known to all、as it is、as is said above、as mentioned above、as is usual、as is often the case、as is reported in the newspaper等句式中。as在非限制性定语从句中做主语、宾语,且引出的从句位置比较灵活,可置于句首或句末,也可置于主句中间,通常均由逗号将其与主句隔开。as有“正如……,就像……”之意。
①He forgot to bring his pen with him, as was often the case. (as在从句中做主语)
②He is absorbed in work, as he often was. (as在从句中做表语)
③As we all know, the Earth is round. (as在从句中做宾语)
④The two brothers were satisfied with this decision, as was agreed beforehand. (as在从句中做主语)
⑤Taiwan is, as you know, an inseparable part of China. (as在从句中做宾语)
[比较]as it is known to all (that …) (as做状语从句连词,引导状语从句,可以加that)
as is known to all (as做主语,是定语从句)
it is known to all that …(that引导主语从句,it是形式主语)
①As is widely known, the moon is closer to us than the sun. (定从)
②That the moon is closer to us than the sun is widely known. (主从)
③It is widely known that the moon is closer to us than the sun. (主从)
④As it is known to everyone, I thought you knew about it too. (状从)
[注意]which和as的区别
①as引导的定语从句可置于句首、句中和句尾,which引导的定语从句可置于句中或句尾。
②关系代词as在限制性定语从句中后跟“be动词+过去分词”的被动语态时,be动词可省略。
③as有时也可用作关系代词。若as在从句中做主语,其引导的句子可置于句首或句中,但which引导的非限制性定语从句只能置于句中。
④as有“正如……一样,按照,正像,因为”的意思,所以常用于肯定句,而which用于肯定、否定都可以。
⑤在固定结构中使用as,如the same … as、as … as。
8. “介词+关系代词”引导
①It now has 20,000 hectares of land, more than two thirds of which are under cultivation.
②Light is the fastest thing in the world, the speed of which is 300,000 kilometres per second.
③There are 30 chairs in the small hall, most of which are new.
④The textile mill has over 2,000 workers and staff, eighty per cent of whom are women.
(二) 限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句的区别
1. 限制性定语从句:从句不能省略,如果省略,整个句子意思不完整;非限制性定语从句:从句可以省略,如果省略,整个句子意思仍然完整。
2. 限制性定语从句:可以用that引导;非限制性定语从句:不可以用that引导。
3. 限制性定语从句:引导词有时可以省略;非限制性定语从句:引导词不可以省略。
4. 限制性定语从句:主句与从句不可以用逗号隔开;非限制性定语从句:主句与从句可以用逗号隔开。
5. 限制性定语从句:从句只修饰先行词;非限制性定语从句:从句既可以修饰先行词,也可以修饰整个句子或句子中的一部分。
6. 限制性定语从句:不能修饰一个事件;非限制性定语从句:可以修饰一个事件。
7. 限制性定语从句与主句的关系很紧密,对其先行词起限定、修饰的作用,如果将其去掉,会影响句子意思的完整性;非限制性定语从句与主句的关系很松散,它与主句之间有一个逗号隔开,对其先行词没有限定、修饰的作用,只起补充、说明的作用,有时也用它来对全句或句中某个成分进行补充、说明。即使将其去掉,也不会影响句子意思。由于上述原因,非限制性定语从句在表达意思方面也有别于限制性定语从句。另外,非限制性定语从句在中文译文里,我们往往将其作为一个分句处理,而不把它翻译成定语。
①Ocean currents affect the climates of the lands near which they flow.
②They explained the reason to us why they had hated us before.
③Earlier, the Babylonians had attempted to map the world, but they presented it in the form of a flattened disc rather than a sphere, which was the form adopted by Ptolemy.(非限制性定语从句是对先行词a sphere进行补充、说明。)
④The combination of satellites, which transmit information, computers, which store information, and television, which displays information, will change every home into an education and entertainment centre.(三个非限制性定语从句分别对三个先行词:satellites, computers和television进行补充、说明。如果去掉这三个非限制性定语从句,那么句子可简化为:The combination of satellites, computers and television will change every home into an education and entertainment centre.)
⑤The sun heats the earth, which makes it possible for plants to grow.(非限制性定语从句是对主句进行补充、说明,将主句表达的意思看成“一件事情”。)
[注意]
①引导限制性定语从句时,关系代词which可以与that互换;但引导非限制性定语从句时,只能用which。
②先行词为reason时,限制性定语可以用why或for which来引导;非限制性定语从句则只能用for which来引导。
③引导限制性定语从句的关系代词在从句中做宾语时可以省略;但引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词即使做宾语也不能省略。
④引导限制性定语从句时,做从句宾语的关系代词whom可以用who来代替;但在非限制性定语从句中,whom不能用who替换。
⑤当非限制性定语从句修饰整个主句时,其关系代词可以用as 和which,但位于句首不能用which,只能用as。此时非限制性定语从句可置于主句之前、之后或之中。
⑥由“介词+关系代词”引导非限制性定语从句,关系代词指代整个主句时,不能用as,只能用which。

Dear_Chris,

You will have no difficulty in finding Western food. Thirdly, I want to introduce our class to you. The teachers are not only experienced and knowledgeable, but also patient and understanding. Everyone in my class is active. I hope you will soon become a member of our class.
