1、Unit 4 EarthquakesThe Seventh PeriodGrammar(I)一、概念定语从句:在复合句中,修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫作定语从句。其作用相当于形容词。先行词:被定语从句所修饰的名词或代词叫作先行词。关系词(引导词):引导定语从句,连接主句与从句的词叫作关系词,分关系代词(that,which,who,whose 等)和关系副词(when,where,why 等)两类。注意:关系词的选用由先行词在定语从句中所充当的句子成分决定。限制性定语从句:是修饰先行词必不可少的成分,去掉从句后整个句子的意义就不能成立或意思不清楚。含限制性定语从句的复合句通常翻译为“的”,置于先
2、行词前。如:The man who robbed him has been arrested.抢劫他的人已经被逮捕了。Its the best hotel that I have known.这是我所知道的最好的旅馆。非限制性定语从句:对所修饰的词没有限定词义的作用,而是作一些补充说明,通常都用一个逗号把它和句子的其他部分分开,去掉非限制性定语从句对剩下部分没有太大的影响。在译成中文时,这个从句多译成一个并列句。如:Peter,who had been driving all day,suggested stopping at thenext town.彼得开了一整天的车,他建议在下个镇停一停
3、。Football,which is a very exciting game,is played all over theworld.全世界都在踢足球,它是一项令人兴奋的运动。关系词指代对象在定语从句中充当的成分例 句that人或物主语或宾语(作宾语时可省略;但which 前有介词时不可省略)The girl that/who told us the news is his sister.那个告诉我们消息的女孩是他妹妹。He gave me a book which/that was bought in the UK.他给了我一本在英国买的书。This is the car(which/th

6、先行词;在定语从句中充当一个成分。例如:Harry Potter is the most interesting novel that I have read.(that I have read是定语从句;novel是先行词;that 是关系代词,代替先行词novel,在从句中作have read的宾语。)关系词指代人或物以及在定语从句中充当的成分关系词指代人或物定语从句中充当的成分关系代词that人或物主语、宾语、表语或状语which物或主句内容主语、宾语或定语who人主语或宾语whom人宾语whose人或物定语as人或物或主句内容主语或宾语关系副词when时间状语where地点状语why原
7、因状语4.限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句限制性定语从句形式上不用逗号和主句隔开,是先行词不可缺少的部分,去掉它主句意思往往不明确,翻译成先行词的定语,“的”。非限制性定语从句是先行词的附加说明,去掉了也不会影响主句的意思,它与主句之间通常用逗号分开,通常翻译成主句的并列句。关系代词that和关系副词why不能引导非限制性定语从句。His brother who is now a lawyer always encourages him to go to college.他那个现在是律师的哥哥总是鼓励他上大学。(他还有其他的哥哥)His brother,who is now a lawyer,
8、always encourages him to go to college.他的哥哥,现在是律师,总是鼓励他上大学。(他只有一个哥哥)一、关系代词的使用【例句观察】She is the woman(whom/that/who)I wanted to see yesterday.她是我昨天想看的那个女的。The package(which/that)you are carrying is about to come unwrapped.你扛着的包裹马上要拆开。Obama won the Nobel Prize for Peace in the year 2009,which we hadnt

15、一个关系代词已用which,另一个宜用that。当先行词在主句中作表语,而关系代词也在从句中作表语时,只用that。【完成例句】(11)那棵四百年的老树很有名。The tree,which is four hundred years old,is very famous here.(12)我们自给自足。We depend on the land from which we get our food.(13)这本书是关于我们要去参观的那座有名的建筑吗?Is this the book that refers to the famous building which we will go to v
16、isit?【结论4】只能用 which的情况:引导非限制性定语从句时,只能用which。介词后只用which,且不能省略。有两个定语从句时,其中一个关系代词已用that,另一个宜用which。三、关系代词的特殊用法1指代物时用 which 不用 that 的情况(1)当动词短语的介词提前时。如:The pen with which he is writing was bought yesterday.他正用来写字的笔是昨天买的。(2)先行词本身为 that 时。如:That which you told him about is exciting.你告诉他的事是令人兴奋的。(3)引导非限制性定
