关系代词的概念:
英语中的关系代词有who, whom, whose, that, which, 它们是用来引导定语从句的。关系代词既代表定语从句所修饰的词,又在其所引导的从句中承担一个成分,如主语、宾语、表语、或定语。
如:This is the man who saved your son. (who在从句中作主语,先行词是man)
The man whom I met yesterday is Jim.
A child whose parents are dead is an orphan.
He wants a room whose window looks out over the sea.
关系代词用法:
1、that与which的用法区别:
两者都可指物,常可互换。其区别主要在于:
(1)引导非限制性定语从句时,通常要用which:
如:She received an invitation from her boss, which came as a surprise. 她收到了老板的邀请,这是她意想不到的。
(2)直接放在介词后作宾语时,通常要用which:
如:The tool with which he is working is called a hammer. 他干活用的那个工具叫做锤子。
(3)当先行词是下列不定代词或被它们修饰时much, little, none, all, few, every(thing), any(thing), no(thing)等时,通常用that:
如:There was little that the enemy could do but surrender. 敌人无法,只有投降了。
All[Everything] that can be done must be done. 凡能做的事都必须做。
(4)当先行词有the very, the only, the same等修饰时,通常用that:
如:This is the only example that I know. 我知道的例子只有这一个。
Those are the very words that he used. 那是他的原话。
(5)当先行词有形容词最高级或序数词(包括last, next等)等修饰时,通常用that:
如:This is the best dictionary that I've ever used. 这是我用过的最好的词典。
The first thing that you should do is to work out a plan. 你应该做的第一件事是订个计划。
(6)当关系代词在定语从句中用作表语时,通常用that:
如:China is not the country(that) it was. 中国已不是过去的中国了。
(7)当先行词是一个既指人又指物的并列词组时,通常用that:
如:They talked about the persons and things that most impressed them. 他们谈论了使他们印象最深的人和事。
(8)当要避免重复时:
如:Which is the course that we are to take? 我们选哪门课程?
2、that与who的用法区别:
(1)两者均可指人,有时可互换:
如:All that[who] heard him were delighted. 所有听了他讲话的人都很高兴。
Have you met anybody that[who] has been to Paris? 你遇见过到过巴黎的人吗?
He is the only one among us that[who] knows Russian. 他是我们中间唯一懂俄语的人。
(2)但是在下列情况,通常要用that:
①当先行词是一个既指人又指物的并列词组时:
如:I made a speech on the men and things that I had seen abroad. 我就我在国外所见到的人和事作了报告。
②当先行词是who时(为避免重复):
如:Who was it that won the World Cup in1982? 谁赢得了1982年的世界杯?
③当关系代词在定语从句中作表语时(可省略):
如:Tom is not the boy(that) he was. 汤姆这孩子已不是以前那个样子了。
关系代词知识体系:
关系代词用法拓展:
1、as与which的用法区别:
(1)引导限制性定语从句时,在such,as,thesame后只能用as,其他情况用which:
如:I never heard such stories as he tells. 我从未听过他讲那样的故事。
It's the same story as I heard yesterday. 这故事跟我昨天听到的一样。
This is the photo which shows my house. 这张照片拍的是我的住宅。
(2)引导非限制性定语从句时,有时两者可互换:
如:I live a long way from work, as [which] you know. 我住得离工作单位很远,这你是知道的。
(3)但在,在以下情况引导非限制性定语从句时,两者不可换用:
①当从句位于主句前面时,只用as:
如:As is known to everybody, the moon travels round the earth once every month. 月球每月绕地球转一周,这是每个人都清楚的。
②as引导的非限制性定语从句应与主句在意义上和谐一致,which无此限制:
如:He went abroad, as[which] was expected. 他出国了,这是大家预料到的。
He went abroad, which was unexpected. 他出国了,这让大家感到很意外。(不用as)
③as引导非限制性定语从句时,先行词通常不能是主句中某个具体的词,而应是整个句子、整个短语或某个短语推断出来的概念,而which则无此限制:
如:The river, which flows through London, is called the Thames. 这条流经伦敦的河叫泰晤士河。(不用as)
④当as引导非限制性定语从句作主语时,其谓语通常应是连系动词,而不宜是其他动词,而which则无此限制:
如:She has married again, as[which] seemed natural. 她又结婚了,这似乎很自常。
She has married again, which delighted us.她又结婚了,这使我们很高兴。(不用as)
2、who与whom的用法区别:
两者均只用于人,从理论上说,who为主格,whom为宾格:
如:Where's the girl who sells the tickets? 卖票的女孩在哪里?
The author whom you criticized in your view has written a letter in reply. 你在评论中批评的那个作者已写了一封回信。
但实际上,除非在正式文体中,宾格关系代词whom往往省略不用,或用who或that代之:
如:The man(that, who, whom) you met just now is called Jim. 你刚遇见的那个人叫吉姆。
不过,在以下几种情况值得注意:
(1)直接跟在介词后面作宾语时,只能用whom,而且不能省略:
如:She brought with her three friends, none of whom I had ever met before. 她带了3个朋友来,我以前都没见过。
(2)引导非限制性定语从句且作宾语时,who和whom均可用,但以用whom为佳,此时也不能省略:
如:This is Jack, who[whom] you haven't met before. 这是杰克,你以前没见过。
形容词最高级概念:
表示“三者、三者以上之中之最”,用形容词的最高级句式,形容词最高级前必加冠词the。
形容词最高级用法:
1)the+最高级+比较范围:
如:The Sahara is the biggest desert in the world.
形容词最高级前通常必须用定冠词the,副词最高级前可不用。形容词most前面没有the,不表示最高级的含义,只表示“非常”。
如:It is a most important problem.=It is a very important problem.
注意:使用最高级要注意将主语包括在比较范围内。
如:(错)Tom is the tallest of his three brothers.
(对)Tom is the tallest of the three brothers.
2)下列词可修饰最高级,by far, far, much, mostly, almost :
如:This hat is nearly/almost the biggest.
注意:
1、very可修饰最高级,但位置与much不同。
如:This is the very best.
This is much the best.
2、序数词通常只修饰最高级。
如:Africa is the second largest continent.
3)句型转换:
如:Mike is the most in telligent in his class.
Mike is more intelligent than any other students in his class.
4)“否定词语+比较级”,“否定词语+so…as”结构表示最高级含义:
如:Nothing is so easy as this.=Nothing is easier than this.=This is the easiest thing.
形容词最高级用法特别提示:
1、表示“最…之一”的句式:one of the+.最高级+名词复数:
如:Jim is one of the best students in his class.
Su zhou is one of the most beautiful cities in China.
2、“the+序数词+最高级”表示“第几个最…”:
如:The Yellow River is the second longest river in China.
3、当最高级前有物主代词或名词所有格时,不加the;
如:Monday is my busiest day.
Jack is Jim's best friend.
4、比较级与最高级的转换:
如:He is taller than any other boys in his class.
He is the tallest boy in his class.
形容词最高级用法的注意点:
1)最高级后常有介词短语、从句或所有格来表比较范围。
2)最高级前有作定语的物主代词、指示代词或名词所有格等时,不再加定冠词the。
3)形容词最高级用在oneof结构中,这时最高级后面的名词要用复数。
4)形容词最高级有时单独使用,没有比较的范围。
如:Greece's best writers lived in ancient Athens. 希腊最好的作家居住在古雅典。
The most violent have winds of more than 400kilometres per hour. 最猛烈的风力达到每小时400千米以上。
5)形容词最高级前有时有定语或状语修饰。
如:Japan's second largest city is Osaka. 日本的第二大城市是大阪。
Here in Vancouver,you're in Canada's warmest part. 这里是温哥华,加拿大最暖和的地方。
Tai Lake is nearly the biggest in EastChina. 太湖在华东几乎是最大的。
6)形容词最高级有时有特殊用法。
①most同形容词连用而不用the时,表示“非常,十分”。
②当形容词最高级作表语,而又不与别的人或物作对比时,不用the。
如:The supermarket is busiest on weekend. 这个超市周末最忙。
③用作宾语补足语的形容词最高级前的the常省略。
如:We feel it most difficult to write a composition in English. 我们觉得用英语写作文最难。
I think it best not to ask him about it now. 我想现在还是不要向他询问此事为妙。
④形容词最高级还可用在某些短语中。
如:You can at least go and get your jacket. 你至少可以去拿你的夹克衫。
I guess it should only cost at most fifty dollars. 我猜想它最多值五十元。
We'll do our best to make the transportation unimpeded. 我们将尽最大努力使交通畅通。
形容词最高级变化有规则和不规则两种:
1、规则变化:
构成 |
原级 | 最高级 |
单音节以及少数双音节的词后面直接加-est | tall | tallest |
short | shortest | |
以不发音的e结尾只加-st | large | largest |
“以辅音字母+y”结尾的词改y为i,再加-est | happy | happiest |
easy | easiest | |
以一个元音加一个辅音字母结尾的单音节词(即重读闭音节词),双写结尾的辅音字母, 再加-est | hot | hotter |
big | bigger |
注:大部分双音节词和多音节的词(即音标中含有三个或三个以上元音音素的词),要在前面加more,most。
如:interesting→most interesting
expensive→most expensive
特别提醒:
1、以形容前缀un构成的三音节形容词不适合上述情况:
如:unhappy→unhappiest,
2、以形容词+ly构成的副词要在前面加 more,most:
如:slowly→most slowly
2、不规则变化:
原级 |
最高级 |
good | best |
bad/ill | worse |
little | least |
many/much | most |
far | farthest/furthest |
old | oldesteldest/ |
形容词最高级用法解密:
1、形容词最高级前必须加定冠词the,但如果最高级前有物主代词、指示代词、名词所有格等修饰时,则不用定冠词。
如:My oldest daughter is 16 years old. 我最大的女儿16岁。
2、形容词最高级常与由介词in或of引导的表示范围的短语连用。若介词后的名词或代词与句中的主语是同一事物时,则用of短语;
当只说明是在某一空间、时间范围内的比较时,则用in短语。
如:This apple is the biggest of all. 在所有的苹果中,这个苹果最大。
He is the youngest in his class. 他在他班里年龄最小。
3、形容词最高级前可用序数词限定,共同修饰后面的名词,其结构为:“the+序数词+形容词最高级+名词”。
如:Hai nan is the second largest island in China. 海南是中国的第二大岛。
4、形容词最高级的意义还可以用比较级形式表达。常见的有:
(1)形容词比较级+than any other+单数名词。
如:This is more difficult than any other book here. (=This is the most difficult book of all.) 这些书当中这本最难。
(2)形容词比较级+thantheother+复数名词。
如:Asia is bigger than the other continents on the earth. 亚洲是地球上最大的洲。
5、形容词最高级前若有不定冠词a,这时,它不表示比较,而表示“非常”的意思。
如:Spring is a best season. 春天是一个非常好的季节。形容词最高级前通常要加定冠词the,而以下几种情况一般不需要加定冠词the:
(1)形容词最高级前有序数词、物主代词、指示代词或名词所有格等限定词修饰时,最高级前不用the。
如:The Yellow River is the second longest river in China. 黄河是中国第二长河。
(2)形容词最高级在句中作表语而比较范围又不明确时,最高级前不用the。
如:They are happiest on Saturdays. 他们在星期六最快乐。
(3)如果两个形容词最高级并列修饰同一个名词时,第二个形容词最高级前不加the。
如:He is the youngest and tallest boy in his class. 他是班上年龄最小、个子最高的男孩。
(4)如果形容词最高级用来加强语气,作“十分;非常”之意时,前面不加the。但形容词最高级作单数名词的定语时,可用不定冠词a/an。
如:That book is most interesting. 那本书非常有趣。
(5)作宾语补足语的形容词最高级前不加the。
如:I found it most difficult to get to sleep. 我发现入睡最难。
(6)在一些固定用法中,最高级前通常省略the。
如:With best wishes for you. 向你致以最美好的祝愿。
非限制性定语从句的概念:
非限制性定语是对被修饰名词或代词的附加说明,它不是必需的,如果去掉,也不会影响句子的意思,它与被修饰名词之间通常用逗号分开。
如:The travellers, knowing about the floods, took another road. 游客们知道发了大水,都改道走了。
The boys, wanting to play football, were disappointed when it rained. 那些男孩子想踢足球,因为下雨感到失望。
非限制性定语从句用法:
1、引导非限定性定语从句时,只能用which(不用that)。
例如:Heat is another form of energy, which is as important as other kinds of energy.
热是另一种形式的能量,与其他形式的能量一样重要。 (从句表补充说明,而且关系代词which不能换成that。)
2、引导非限定性定语从句的which可以指代前面的先行词,也可以指前面整个句子的含义。
例如:That Peter will marry Alice, which has not been announced yet, has spread around.
彼特要娶爱丽斯这件事还没宣布,却已传得沸沸扬扬。(句子中的which指“彼特要娶爱丽斯”这整个句子的意思。)
3、除which外,还可用when,where,who等关系代、副词引导非限定性定语从句。
例如:After graduation, I decided to stay in Chongqing, where I spent my childhood and four years of college life.
毕业后,我决定留在重庆,在那里我曾度过了我的童年和四年大学生活。
Albert Einstein left Germany for the United States during World WarII, when Jews were badly treated in Germany.
第二次世界大战期间,爱因斯坦离开德国去了美国,那时犹太人在德国受到不好的对待。
4、在限定性定语从句中作宾语时,引导词可以省略,但引导非限定性定语从句的关联词不能省。
如:He was eager to go to the hospital to see his stepmother, whom he loved and respected as his own mother.
他急于想去医院看望他的继母,他把他的继母当作亲生母亲一样热爱和尊敬。
The American journalist(whom/who) the announcer mentioned in the news broadcast is said to have been killed by the gangsters.
播音员在新闻广播中提到的那位美国记者据说已经被匪徒杀害了。
两例中的关系代词都在从句中作宾语。由于第二例是限定性定语从句,可以省略关系代词;第一例中的引导词不能省略,因为它引导的是非限定性定语从句。
5、表示“正如”的含义时,通常用as引导非限定性定语从句,也可用which引导;但置于句首时,只能用as引导。
如:China has basically succeeded in defeating SARS, which/as we have expected.
正如我们所预料的那样,中国已基本上战胜了“非典”。
As is well known to everybody, Tai wan is an inseparable part of China.
众所周知,台湾是中国不可分割的一部分。
但是当非限定性定语从句是否定含义时,就只能用which(而不用as)引导。
如:He didn't win the championship, which I hadn't expected.
他没获得冠军,这一点是我没预料到的。
非限制性定语丛句中as, which的区别:
1、which引导非限制性定语丛句代表前面的整个句子的时候,一般是对主句的结果的说明。
如: He grows too fast, which makes him taller than his classmates.
2、as引导非限制性丛句代表前面整个句子时一般来讲丛句的谓语动词有三种:
A. 含有be动词:
如:He failed the exam, as is natural.
B. 实意动词的被动形式:
如:As is reported, the fire caused a great loss.
C.感官动词和意识类动词如:
如:see, hear, notice, know, learn, realize 等。
As you know, I am a teacher.
3、as可翻译为正如,它引导的丛句可位于主句之前,也可位于主句之后;which引导的该丛句只能位于主句之后。
例1:__A___he realized, I was very useful to him.
例2:This elephant is like a snake, ___A__anybody can see.
例3:The sun gives us light and heat, __B___makes the plan tgrow well.
A. As(as)
B. which
C. that
D. who

非限定性定语从句的使用规则及注意事项:
1、which引导的非限定性定语从句是用来说明前面整个句子的情况或主句的某一部分。
2、在引导限定性定语从句时,that有时相当于in which, at which, for which或at which。其中,介词的选用,依据从句中的动词所需搭配的介词来选用。例句:
① Attitudes towards day dreaming are changing in much the same way that(inwhich)attitudes towards night dreaming have changed.
人们对白日做梦的态度正在改变,这与人们对夜间做梦的看法的变化有非常相似之处。
② I like the music for the very reason that(for which) he dislike it.
我出于某种原因喜欢这种音乐,而他恰恰与我相反。
