定語(yǔ)從句作為高中英語(yǔ)人教版必修一的重要語(yǔ)法項(xiàng)目,是新進(jìn)高中學(xué)生所要面對(duì)的重要難題之一。尤其是定語(yǔ)從句關(guān)系詞的選擇方面,學(xué)生更是錯(cuò)誤百出。本文通過(guò)錯(cuò)題解析的方式分析定語(yǔ)從句中關(guān)系詞方面學(xué)生常出現(xiàn)的錯(cuò)誤。
一、幾組關(guān)系詞的誤用比較
1.that和what
誤 We?蒺ll reach the sales targets in a month what we set at the beginning of the year.
解析 定語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞中是沒(méi)有what的,what在名詞性從句中作主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ),而在定語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)的關(guān)系代詞可用that或which。比較下面兩個(gè)例子:
①He told me all that he knows.(that引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾先行詞all)
② He told me what he knows.(what引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句)
正 We?蒺ll reach the sales targets in a month(that)we set at the beginning of the year.
2. that和which
①誤 Please send us all the information which you have about the candidate for the position.
解析 當(dāng)先行詞被不定代詞、形容詞最高級(jí)或序數(shù)詞等修飾且引導(dǎo)詞在定語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)時(shí),只能用that引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句。
正 Please send us all the information(that)you have about the candidate for the position.
②誤 Care of the soul is a gradual process in that even the small details of life should be considered.
解析 分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可以看到,a gradual process后為“介詞+關(guān)系代詞”引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句,當(dāng)先行詞為物時(shí),此時(shí)的引導(dǎo)詞只能是which。
正 Care of the soul is a gradual process in which even the small details of life should be considered.
③誤 China Today attracts a worldwide readership,that shows that more and more people all over the world want to learn about China.
解析 逗號(hào)之后的句子是一個(gè)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句且引導(dǎo)詞在該定語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ),故應(yīng)該用which引導(dǎo)。
正 China Today attracts a worldwide readership,which shows that more and more people all over the world want to learn about China.
3.that/which和who
誤 Happiness and success often come to those that are good at recognizing their own strengths.
解析 當(dāng)those代指人作先行詞時(shí),定語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞用who。類(lèi)似的詞還有one(s),he,不能用that,更不能用which(指找物)。另外,如果在非限制性定語(yǔ)從句中,即使代指人時(shí)也不能用that。
正 Happiness and success often come to those who are good at recognizing their own strengths.
4.who和whom
誤 We saw several natives advancing towards our party,and one of them came up to us,to who we gave some bells and glasses.
解析 分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,第二個(gè)逗號(hào)后的部分應(yīng)為“介詞+關(guān)系代詞”引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句,先行詞為one of them(人)。當(dāng)先行詞為人時(shí),在“介詞+關(guān)系代詞”引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句中,關(guān)系代詞只能選擇whom。
正 We saw several natives advancing towards our party,and one of them came up to us,to whom we gave some bells and glasses.
5.as和which/that
① 誤 The number of smokers,which is reported,has dropped by 17 percent in just one year.
解析 as和which均可引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句。as引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句,位置非常靈活,可位于主句前、主句后,也可位于主句中間。which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句時(shí)位于主句之后。且as意為“正如或正像……”,which無(wú)實(shí)際意義。故根據(jù)本句意及結(jié)構(gòu),要用as引導(dǎo)中間的定語(yǔ)從句。
正 The number of smokers,as is reported,has dropped by 17 percent in just one year.
②誤 He is such a lazy man that nobody wants to work with.
解析 分析本句句子結(jié)構(gòu)可以看出,如果把該從句當(dāng)作狀語(yǔ)從句(such...that...結(jié)構(gòu)),從句缺少賓語(yǔ);如果把該從句當(dāng)作定語(yǔ)從句,引導(dǎo)詞錯(cuò)誤,因?yàn)橄刃性~被such修飾時(shí),要用as引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句。
正 He is such a lazy man that nobody wants to work with him.
或He is such a lazy man as nobody wants to work with.
二、關(guān)系代詞與人稱代詞的誤用
誤 He wrote many children?蒺s books,nearly half of them were published in the 1990s.
解析 逗號(hào)后無(wú)連詞,如果前后句是并列句應(yīng)該加并列連詞;如果前后句是主從復(fù)合句,根據(jù)句意及結(jié)構(gòu)可判斷應(yīng)該為非限制性定語(yǔ)從句,關(guān)系詞代指children?蒺s books,位于介詞of之后故應(yīng)該用which。
正 He wrote many children?蒺s books,and nearly half of them were published in the 1990s.
或He wrote many children?蒺s books,and nearly half of which were published in the 1990s.
【技巧拓展】 選擇關(guān)系代詞還是人稱代詞,主要看前后句是并列句還是主從復(fù)合句,如果已有并列連詞,填人稱代詞;如果沒(méi)有,則判斷為非限制性定語(yǔ)從句,選擇適當(dāng)?shù)亩ㄕZ(yǔ)從句引導(dǎo)詞。
三、關(guān)系代詞與關(guān)系副詞的誤用
①誤 Students should involve themselves in community activities which they can gain experience for growth.
解析 定語(yǔ)從句引導(dǎo)詞的判斷不能簡(jiǎn)單只看先行詞類(lèi)型,還要關(guān)注其在定語(yǔ)從句中所做的成分。該句中盡管先行詞為community activities(物),但從定語(yǔ)從句的結(jié)構(gòu)分析可知,引導(dǎo)詞在定語(yǔ)從句作地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ),故要用where引導(dǎo)該定語(yǔ)從句。
正 Students should involve themselves in community activities where they can gain experience for growth.
②誤 That evening,when I will tell you more about later,I ended up working very late.
解析 此句中盡管先行詞為指時(shí)間的“That evening”,但我們不能用when引導(dǎo)后面的定語(yǔ)從句,原因是在這個(gè)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句中缺的是介詞about的賓語(yǔ)。故應(yīng)該用which引導(dǎo)該非限制性定語(yǔ)從句。
正 That evening,which I will tell you more about later,I ended up working very late.
【技巧拓展】 關(guān)系代詞或關(guān)系副詞的選擇有兩個(gè)原則:一是看先行詞是人還是物;二是看關(guān)系詞代替先行詞在從句中作什么成分。若關(guān)系詞代替先行詞在從句中作主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)、定語(yǔ)或表語(yǔ),則選擇關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句;若在從句中作狀語(yǔ),則選擇關(guān)系副詞引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句。例如:
We?蒺ll remember those days that/which we spent together.(作賓語(yǔ))
We?蒺ll remember those days when we played by the sea.(作狀語(yǔ))
四、關(guān)系詞的漏用
誤 The student is standing there is our monitor.
解析 在定語(yǔ)從句中,當(dāng)先行詞在定語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ)時(shí),關(guān)系代詞不能省略。
正 The student who/that is standing there is our monitor.
對(duì)于定語(yǔ)從句關(guān)系詞的選擇,大家在正確分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)的基礎(chǔ)上,要從三個(gè)方面考慮:一是正確判定先行詞類(lèi)別。人、物、時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)、原因中的哪一種。二是要看關(guān)系詞代替先行詞在定語(yǔ)從句中所做的成分。三是要看定語(yǔ)從句類(lèi)型——限制性定語(yǔ)從句還是非限制性定語(yǔ)從句。以上三方面全考慮到,大家才能夠正確選擇定語(yǔ)從句的關(guān)系詞。
