關(guān)系代詞引導的定語從句全接觸

吳安運

定語從句是在復合句中修飾名詞或代詞的從句，通常緊跟在被修飾的名詞或代詞之后。定語從句在句中起限制的作用，被定語從句所修飾的詞稱為先行詞。引導定語從句的有關(guān)系代詞that， which， who， whom， whose和關(guān)系副詞when， where， why。

一、 定語從句的構(gòu)成

定語從句由一個主句和一個從句構(gòu)成。被定語從句修飾的詞叫先行詞，引導定語從句的詞叫關(guān)系詞，關(guān)系詞一般緊跟在先行詞之后。

Zhang Yixing is a pop star.? + Jay Chou is from China.

Zhang Yixing is a pop star who is from

先行詞? 關(guān)系代詞

China. 張藝興是中國的一位流行歌手。

Yao Ming is a basketball player. + Yao Ming’s parents are also basketball players.

Yao Ming is a basketball player whose

先行詞???? 關(guān)系代詞

parents are also basketball players. 姚明是個籃球運動員， 他的父母也都是籃球運動員。

The book is very useful. + My father gave me a book.

The book which my father gave me is very ? ??先行詞? 關(guān)系代詞

useful. 我父親給我的那本書很有用。

【提醒注意】

定語從句都在它所修飾的先行詞的后面，這一點和漢語不同，要特別注意。

二、 關(guān)系代詞的基本用法

1. that引導的定語從句

that引導定語從句時，可以指人，代替who 或whom;也可以指物，代替which?？稍趶木渲凶鲋髡Z或做從句謂語動詞的賓語。

The man that （who） wrote the book is an English professor. 寫這本書的人是一位英語教授。（that做主語）

Film companies often make follow-ups to films that have been very successful， such as Harry Porter. 電影公司常常為已大獲成功的電影拍續(xù)集，例如《哈利·波特》。（that做主語）

She is the singer that （whom） I met last week.? 她就是我上周遇見的那位歌星。（that做賓語）

Is this the picture that （which） you talked about yesterday？ 這就是你們昨天談論的那幅畫嗎？（that做賓語）

【提醒注意】

在下面三種場合中，要用that 引導定語從句，不用which 或who。

This is the first English grammar book that she has read. 這是她讀過的第一本英語語法書。

I’d like to read the very book that you read last week. 我想讀你上周讀過的那本書。

She was the only person that saw the accident. 她是唯一親眼目睹那場事故的人。

This is the best film that I have ever seen. 這是我看過的最好的電影。

Sally is the most hard-working student that I have ever known. 莎麗是我所認識的最勤奮的學生。

②先行詞為nothing， all， little， much，something， everything 和anything等不定代詞，或先行詞被all， every， few， any， no， some， little 等修飾時，其后的定語從句要用that引導，不用which。

He has got all that he needs. 他得到了所需要的一切。

You can borrow any book that you want to read. 你可以借任何一本你想看的書。

Everything that can be done has been done. 一切能做的都做了。

The writer has said something that we should remember forever. 那位作家說了一些我們應該永遠記住的話。

③ 主句以who 或which 開頭時，定語從句用that，不用who， whom 或which。

Who is the boy that just spoke to you？ 剛才同你講話的那個男孩是誰？

Which of you that has attended the meeting can tell us something about it？ 你們中間哪位參加過會議的能給我們講些有關(guān)情況？

【典型例題】

That’s the only thing ___ can’t be forgotten in my life.

A. that B. which????? ?? C. who???????? D. /

【考點解密】

先行詞thing （事情） 指“事物”， who是指“人”的，要首先被排除;從句本身缺少主語，關(guān)系代詞不可省略，故排除D項。that 和which 都可用來指“事物”。當先行詞被the very， the only， the same， all， no， any， every， little， much或形容詞最高級、序數(shù)詞等修飾時，關(guān)系代詞只用that而不能用which。本題答案為A。

2. who， whom 和whose引導的定語從句

who， whom 和whose引導定語從句時用于指人。who在從句中做主語，whom做謂語動詞或介詞的賓語，whose做定語。

He is the student who knows the answer to the question. 他就是知道那個問題答案的學生。（做主語）

Here comes the girl whom you want to see. 你想見的那個女孩來了。（做賓語）

That’s the man whose house was burnt down.? 那就是房子被燒毀的人。（做定語）

【提醒注意】

① 在口語中who也可做賓語。

②whom做介詞的賓語時，介詞可以放在whom的前面，也可以放在有關(guān)動詞的后面; whom做動詞賓語時，通?？墒÷浴?/p>

The lady to whom he sent a letter was a musician. （= The lady （whom） he sent a letter to was a musician.）? 他寫過信去的那位女士是一位音樂家。

③ whose既可指人，也可指物，用作定語。

He lived in a room whose window looked out over the sea. 他住在一間窗戶朝向大海的房間里。

【典型例題】

George Mallory was an English school teacher ___ loved climbing.

A. who? B. whom???? ?? C. he????? D. which

【考點解密】

考查關(guān)系代詞的用法。定語從句要由關(guān)系代詞引導，首先排除C項;先行詞teacher是指“人”的名詞，which用來指“物”，故D項也要被排除;根據(jù)定語從句 loved climbing可知，關(guān)系代詞在從句中做主語，whom是做賓語的，故排除。本題答案為A。

3. which引導的定語從句

which 引導的定語從句修飾表示“物”的名詞。which在定語從句中可以做主語或賓語。which做賓語時可以省略。

Is she on the plane which took off half an hour ago？ 她在半小時前起飛的那架飛機上嗎？

The story （which） we heard yesterday is very moving. 我們昨天聽到的那個故事非常感人。

【典型例題】

I have that ___ he has given me.

A. that? B. which????? C. who D. whose

【考點解密】

當先行詞為that時，我們多使用關(guān)系代詞which， 而不使用that。所以本題答案為B。

【提醒注意】

關(guān)系代詞which， that， who在從句中做主語時，從句謂語動詞的人稱和數(shù)應同先行詞保持一致。

The pen which was lost has been found. 丟失的那支鋼筆找到了。

The pens which were lost have been found.? 丟失的那些鋼筆都找到了。

The girl who is singing is from America. 正在唱歌的那個女孩來自美國。

The girls who are singing are from America. 正在唱歌的那些女孩來自美國。

三、 關(guān)系代詞的位置和省略

1. 關(guān)系代詞的位置

定語從句一般要緊跟在先行詞后，但有時為了保持句子的平衡，定語從句可以和先行詞分離。

A. who? B. which????? ?? C. whose????? D. /

【考點解密】

關(guān)系代詞在定語從句中做主語時一般不可以省略，但做賓語時可以省略。本題省略了關(guān)系代詞whom / that，故答案為D。

【提醒注意】

當介詞位于關(guān)系代詞之前時，做介詞賓語的關(guān)系代詞不可以省略。

Do you know the man （whom） they are talking to？ 你認識那個在和他們談話的人嗎？（whom可以省略）

Do you know the man to whom they are talking？ 你認識那個在和他們談話的人嗎？（whom在介詞后，不可省略）
