1、限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别限制性定语从句提供有关主语或宾语的重要信息,起限定作用,与被修饰部分的关系紧密,如果省略该从句会使主句语义表达不完整。例如:This is the very person thatis wanted by the police.He is the man who /that lives next door.It was a meeting whose importance I did not realize at the time.非限制性定语从句只是用来对被修饰部分作补充性的说明,与先行词关系比较松散,先行词与从句间
2、可以用逗号隔开,从句可略去:He will not be able to spend the holiday with his family, whichis a big annoyance to him.The minister, whois to visit our university, is said to be a Qinghua University graduate.The book, whichyour sister bought you in Xinhua Bookstore, is very useful in improving your spoken English.T

17、le. (指代that分句)She is very attentive in class, which he rarely is. (指代整个短语)3.2.7 as的用法1、as引导限制性定语从句时,常与such或the same连用,构成the sameas; suchas结构,as用于代替指人或物的先行词。例如:I have never eaten such tasty foods asshe cooked me.Such booksasthere were on the shelf interested us.I have got into the same trouble ashe (
18、has).试比较 the sameas和 the samethat:This is the same bookasI read last week.(这和我上周读的那本书是一样的。)This is the same book thatI read last year. (这就是我上周读的那本书。)如果先行词表示抽象概念,则没有这种区别,例如:She told me the same story as/thatshe had told you.I had the same difficulty that/asyou had last year.在assoas结构中,后面的as也是关系代词,例如:
19、We took as many menascould be permitted to attend the meeting.You can stay here aslongasyou like.Things do not go on assmoothlyaswe hoped.2、引导非限制性定语从句关系代词as引导非限制性定语从句时,用于代替整个主句,意思是“正如”, 相当于 and this或 and that。as从句位置较之which引导的非限制性定语从句更加灵活,因而as从句既可以指前面提到的内容,也可以指后面将要提到的内容,which一般在主句后。例如: Asis mentioned
20、 above, this method aims at improving the students ability in a more effective way.The test is cancelled, asyou have hoped.The test, asyou have hoped, is cancelled.A semiconductor material, asthe name indicates, has poorer conductivity than a conductor.注:as代表前面的整个主句并在从句中做主语时表达的意思应与主句一致,而且从句中的谓语必须是系动
21、词;若为行为动词,则从句中的关系代词只能用which.例如:He failed to pass the exam again, as is predicted.He failed to pass the exam again, whichannoyed his mother greatly.记住以下的as结构:as is known to all (众所周知),as is often the case (情况常常如此),as the name Indicatessuggests (顾名思义),as may be imagined (可以想象得出),as often happens (这种情况常
22、常发生),as has been said before (如前所述),as has been pointed out (正如已经指出的),as will be shown in ( 将在中指出),as is hoped ( 正如所希望的)3.2.8 but的用法but用作关系代词相当于whonot,whichnot,thatnot。but既可指人,也可指物,常在定语从句中充当主语或宾语。but本身含“否定”的意思,它前面的主句通常有“否定”的词, 如:(no,not, little,few,hardly等). but引导的肯定定语从句和否定的主句连用,达到强烈肯定的修饰效果。例如:There
23、 is no motherbutloves her own children. (=There is no mother thatwho does not love her own children.)主语There is scarcely a good moviebut he has seen. (=that he has not seen). 宾语There is never a friendbut he remembers the birthday of. 介词宾语Who is there butcommits errors?but间或也可用在疑问句后There is no man bu

26、根据它与其先行词的关系或前后名词、动词等的搭配关系来决定,同时还应该考虑句子在上下文中要表达的意思。3.3.1“介词 + whichwhomwhose”这时应注意介词与句中短语的搭配。例如:The problemwith whichI have trouble has now been solved.Oil, of whichthere are several different types, is used for many purposes by countries all over the world.The man, because of whosehelp the murderer
27、was caught by the police, is coming to our school tomorrow.介词放在关系代词之前的形式的定语从句较之将介词至于从句之末的定语从句正式,因此多用于书面语当中,但在口语中有时也会出现;或者将介词后置,或在介词后置后用 that(人、物)who(人)代替 whichwhom,并且that可省略。例如;Can you lend me a pen or pencilwith whichI can write?Can you lend me a pen or pencilthat/ whichI can writewith?Can you lend
28、 me a pen or pencil (that) I can writewith?Who is the manto whomyou were talking?Who is the manwhom/that/whoyou were talking to?Who is the man (that) you were talkingto?如果介词过长,则不适于后置,例如:Sound is a tool, by means of whichpeople communicate with each other.We may be caught by a fire, in case of whichw
29、e must find ways to escape.3.3.2“名词 + 介词 + whichwhom”引导的定语从句He referred to a personthe name of whomslipped by memory at that moment.We had a discussionthe purpose of whichwas to find a solution to this problem.在非限定性定语从句中,of whichwhom可用来修饰不定代词 all, each, one, many, much, more, most, any, some, a few,
30、 a little, none, both, several, the latter, the former等。练习时,应该判断填空的部分为主句的定语从句还是与主句并列的成分。例如:We have interviewed more than 50 students, only a few of whomgave satisfactory answers to our questions. 定语从句We have interviewed more than 50 students, butonly a few of them gave satisfactory answers to our qu
