The Attributive Clause
The Attributive Clause
有关系代词或关系副词引导用来修饰主句中的某一个名词或代词并起定语作用的从句, 叫定语从句。定语从句所修饰的词叫先行词, 从句跟在先行词后面。
定语从句的构成方法是：关系代词或副词+陈述句语序, 关系代词有: who, whom, whose, which, that, as等; 关系副词有when, where, why等。
关系代词有双重功能, 一方面代表前面所修饰的先行词, 把从句与先行词连接起来; 另一方面引导出从句并在从句中充当某种句子成分。
1.The number of people who/that lost
homes reached as many as 250,000.
2.It sounded like a train which/that
was going under my house.
关系代词指物时只用which不用that的情况
(1) 关系代词在从句中作介词宾语并且仅跟在介词后时只用which, 但当介词在从句句尾时, 两者皆可。
This is the question about which we’ve had so much discussion.
= This is the question which / that we’ve had so much discussion about.
(2) 在非限定性定语从句中必须用which不能用that。
This is the book which/that I’m looking for.
They have invited me to visit their country, which is very kind of them.
当关系代词作look after, look for等不能拆开使用的及物动词性短语的宾语时，介词不可以提前。
关系副词的用法
（1）关系副词where之地点，在从句中作地点状语。
This is the house where he lived.
(2) 关系副词when指时间，在从句中作时间状语。
I’ll never forget the days when we played together.
(3) 关系副词why指原因，在从句中作原因状语。
He explained the reason why he was late.
关系副词有时可用介词+which来代替。如上句中where=in which; when=on which; why=for which。
1. 关系副词where之地点, 在从句中作地点状语。
This is the house where he lived.
2. 关系副词when指时间, 在从句中作时间状语。
I’ll never forget the days when we played together.
3. 关系副词why指原因, 在从句中作原因状语。
He explained the reason why he was late.
注意: 关系副词有时可用介词+which来 代替。如上句中where=in which; when=on which; why=for which
This is the house where he lived.
This is the house which/that/-- we visited yesterday.
I’ll never forget the days when we played together.
I’ll never forget the days which/that/-- we spent together.
He explained the reason why he was late.
This is the reason which/that he gave me.
Rewrite the sentence using the attributive clause:
1. I remember the day. “The Beatles” played their first hit on that day.
I remember the day when “The Beatles” played their first hit.
2. The guitar was lost while he was touring. George gave many performances with it.
The guitar with which George gave many performances was lost while he was touring.
3. The musicians were very popular. They worked with the musicians.
The musicians with whom they worked were very popular.

注意: “介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句, 关系代词只能用which和whom, 且不能省略。介词主要根据三个方面来选择: 一是先行词与介词的搭配; 二是定语从句中谓语动词或形容词与介词的搭配; 三是根据“介词+关系代词”在从句中的作用及意义。
关系代词前介词的确定
1.根据从句中动词与先行词的逻辑关系
e.g. Is that the newspaper for which you often write articles?
The school (which / that) he once studied in is very famous.
The school in which he once studied is very famous. 他曾经就读过的学校很出名。
关系代词前介词的确定
2. 根据从句中动词或形容词的习惯搭配，如：
Tomorrow I’ll bring here the magazine (which / that) you asked for.
Tomorrow I’ll bring here the magazine for which you asked.明天我将把你要的杂志带来。
Can you explain to me how to use these idioms about which I’m sure.
3. 根据先行词与介词的搭配习惯，请体会：
e.g. 1949 was the year in which the P.R.C. was founded.
4.非限制性定与从句中，要表示先行词的
一部分时，可用“数词/代词 + of + 关系代词”
的结构，如：
e.g. There are 50 students in our class,
two- thirds of whom have been to Beijing.


注意：１．含有介词的短语动词一般不拆开，
介词仍放在短语动词的后面。
如：look for, look after, take care of 等。
This is the watch (which / that) I am looking for.
(正) 这是我正在找的手表。
This is the watch for which I am looking . (误)
The babies (whom / who / that) the nurse is
looking after are very healthy. (正)
那个保姆照看的小宝宝们都很健康。
The babies after whom the nurse is looking
are very healthy.（误）
２．若介词放在关系代词前，关系代词指人时
只可用whom，不可用who, that；关系代词指物
时只可用which，不可用that。关系代词是所有格
时用whose。
The man with whom you talked just now is my
neighbour. (正)
The man with that / who you talked just now
is my neighbour. (误)
The plane in which we flew to Canada was really
comfortable.(正) The plane in that we flew to
Canada was really comfortable. (误)
３．“介词+关系代词”前还可有some, any, none,
all, both, neither, many, most, each, few等代词
或者数词。如：
He loves his parents deeply, both of whom are
very kind to him.
他深深地爱着他的父母，他们俩待他都很好。
In the basket there are quite many apples,
some of which have gone bad.
关系代词前的介词的确定
5. Whose从句可转换为“ of +关系代词”型，如：
e.g. They live in a house, whose door opens to the south.




They lived in a house, of which the door opens to the south.

They lived in a house, the door of which open to the south.

FREDDY, THE FROG
Freddy, the frog, slid his long, thin legs into the water. He felt so tired! It seemed only yesterday that he had been a little tadpole. Within a few short weeks he had changed into the beautiful animal he saw in the water. He smile to himself. Then suddenly he heard some music across the lake. A fine deep sound that carried far into the darkness of the quiet night. Freddy looked up. Other frogs! I must try and find them, he thought. I need friends to cheer me up. It is so hard being a grown-up frog on my own.

He began to swim slowly towards the sound. Suddenly he knocked into a large water lily leaf lying on the water. The sound was very loud now. Freddy studied the leaf carefully. There were three confident frogs sitting still on the leaf and all three of them were playing instruments. It was their music that had amazed Freddy. “Where did you learn to play so well?” he asked. “All my family love playing music. My father and mother both sing very well.” Freddy climbed onto the leaf. “Can I try to sing?” he asked quietly. “Of course,” they said.
He opened his mouth and suddenly coughed. He tried again but he couldn’t make any sound.
“Oh! Oh!” he thought, “ What am I going to do?” Luckily he was only nervous. Then next moment he knew what he would sing and he opened is mouth wide and began: Help! I need somebody, Help! Not just anybody.
Help! You know I need someone, Help!
When I was young, so much younger then today, I never needed anybody’s help in any way. But now those days are gone. I’m not so self-assured!
Now I find I’ve changed my mind.
I’ve opened up the door.
Help me if you can, I’m feeling down and I do appreciate you being round. Help me get my feet back on the ground. Won’t you please, please help me! ( help me, help me, ooh )
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways. My independence seem to vanish in the haze. But every now and then I feel so insecure. I know that I just need you like I’ve never done before.

Dear students in Class *,
I’m honored that you would ask me for advice. As you know, our band was formed in a very unusual way. However, we have learned a lot about being a band since then.
First, you will need to agree with what kind of music you want to write and play. You had better play one kind of music if you want to become famous. Next you will need to come up with a name for your band—something that is different.
Then, make a special time for practicing and stick to it. You will also want to give several performances for friends and family to get their ideas on your musical ability.
Above all, just have fun!
Yours sincerely
Freddy

Making a note (P69).
S1: I’m looking forward to the concert on Friday but I’m a bit worried about the arrangements.
S2: Yes, I know what you mean. It’s not clear whether we should have dinner before or after the concert. I suppose that depends on how we are going to get the concert hall.
Sample dialogue
S1: Well, what if we travel by taxi? We can get there earlier and go to the restaurant next door. I can ask them to keep us a table. But if you want to go by bus, it’ll take much longer and we’ll not have time to eat first. So what do you think?
S2: I think I’d prefer to eat first. What about you?
S1: That’s fine with me. So let’s take a taxi together. How about meeting at the school gates and go from there. OK?
S2: That’s fine with me. I could be there at 6:30 and wait till you come.
S1: Good. Now all we have to do is decide how much we want to pay for the tickets. There are some at 30 BMB up to 500 RMB. But I don’t think it’s worth paying a lot as you can hear beautifully wherever you sit. So I think we should get the cheapest seats.
S2: Right. If we buy the cheapest seats then and we’ll have more money for a splendid dinner.
S1: Sounds great to me! Let’s do that.
Sample dialogue
A: Well, I prefer to listen to Jolin. Her music makes me feel happier when I’m sad.
B: I don’t like her music very much.
A: Oh? Why not?
Speaking task on P74
B: It’s too simple. The words to the songs are so-so.
A: So who do you prefer?
B: I like Mariah Carey best because she has so much feeling when she sings. The lyrics to her songs are also great.
