2016考研英语：十二大基础语法体系之定语从句

注意各个关系词的用法：

1.指人的关系代词：who, whom, whose, that 的用法：

(1)作主语(who, that )

Those who are going to play in the match are to meet at the gate at 1:30 after lunch. 那些参加比赛的人午饭后1：30在大门口集合。

在本句中，先行词是those;关系代词who引导定语从句，同时代替先行词在从句中担任动词are going to play 的主语。

The man who/that is talking with Mr. Wang is a famous doctor. 正在和王先生说话的那个人是一个有名的医生。

在本句中，先行词是the man;关系代词who/that引导定语从句，同时代替先行词在从句中担任动词is talking的主语。

这个复合句可以还原成两个句子：The man is a famous doctor. He is talking with Mr. Wang.

(2)作宾语包括作介词宾语(whom, that )。此种情况下的关系代词可以省略;

This is just the man(whom/that) I want for the job. 这正是我要的做这份工作的人。

在本句中，先行词是the man;关系代词whom/that 引导定语从句，同时代替先行词在从句中担任动词want 的宾语。

Is he the manager (whom/that) you are looking for? 他是你在找的那位经理吗?

(3)当关系代词紧跟介词作介词宾语时，不能用that，也不能省略，

如：The book from which I got a lot of useful information was written by a famous scientist. 我从中得到许多有用信息的那本书是一位著名科学家写的。

Who is the boy with whom you were talking a moment ago. 你刚才和他说话的那个男孩是谁?

I know the young couple from whose house the music is coming. 但是当介词放在从句末尾时，作为介词宾语的关系代词可以用that 并且可以省略。

如上头两句可改为：

The book (that /which) I got a lot of information from was written by a famous scientist.

Who is the boy (that/whom) you were talking with a moment ago?

2.指物的关系代词which和that的用法：

(1)作主语

This is the instruction manual which/that tells you how to operate the computer. 这是那本教你如何操作计算机的说明手册。

(2)作宾语包括作介词宾馆。此种情况下的关系代词可以省略：

The chair (which /that) you broke yesterday is now being repaired. 你昨天弄坏的那把椅子现在正在修理。

The film (which/that) I saw last night was about a soldier who fought in WWII.

我昨天晚上看的那部电影是关于一个在二战中打过仗的士兵的。(本句有两个定语从句。)

This is the bike for which I paid $ 100. 这就是我花了100美元买的那辆自行车。

The car(which/that)he went in was a black Cadillac. 他坐在里面走了的那辆汽车是一辆黑色的卡迪拉克。

The accounts of the company, (which/that) I’ve been paying great attention to, are in balance. 我一直非常注意的公司账目，是保持平衡的。

和of which 指代人或事物，作定语。of which 可用whose 代替;

The car whose lights (of which the lights/the lights of which) were all broken was my father’s. 那辆所有的灯都破了的汽车是我父亲的。

例：His house of which the windows (the windows of which /whose windows) were all broken was a depressing sight. 他那所有窗户都坏了的房子真是目不忍睹。

That is the book whose cover (of which the cover/the cover of which ) was broken. 这就是那本封皮破了的书。

4.关系代词的格应与它在从句中充当的成分一致。特别要注意插入语，

如：Peter is the one who everybody believes will fail to bring off the contract. Peter是那个人人都认为不能完成合同的人。(everybody believes 是插入语)

At the election I voted for the man whom I believed to be the most suitable. 在选举的时候我投了我认为最合适的那个人的票。

5.关系代词作从句的主语时，从句的动词必须和先行词的人称和数一致：

例：These are the operating instructions that/which are written in English. 这就是用英文写成的使用说明。

Are you staying at the white house which/that is newly completed and which /that has 15 bedrooms, 3 kitchens and 4 toilets? 你是住在那幢刚刚竣工、有15个卧室、3个病房和4个卫生间的白色房子里吗?

So far as I know, there are many VIPs who are going to attend the reception. 就我所知有很多达官贵人将出席这个招待会。

6.非限定性定语从句不用that，只用who(whose, whom)和which代表人和物;

例：Her brothers, both of whom work in America, ring her up every week. 她的兄弟们，两个人都在美国工作，每个星期都给她打电话。
