当定语从句引导词作介词的宾语时,可以将介词提到引导词前,以强调介词和引导词的介宾关系;介词+which / whom在从句中作状语或定语;有些情况下,介词+which相当于where / when / why。如:
____The man with whom you talked is an expert in earthquakes.____(with whom在从句中作状语修饰谓语动词talked)
____That’s the gate at which the young woman was picked up by some strangers.____(at which=where, 在从句中作状语修饰谓语动词was picked up)
____The day on which Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest.____(on which=when,在从句中作状语修饰谓语动词helped)
____I can’t tell you the reason for which she insists on doing that.____(for which=why,在从句中作状语修饰谓语动词insists)
____The shelters took in thousands of flood survivors, many of whom / of whom many suffered from malaria.____(of whom在从句中作定语修饰many)
____The house of which the windows / the windows of which are open was broken into by burglars. ____(of which在从句中修饰定语the windows) = The house whose windows are open was broken…
5) 定语从句的分类:
(1) 限定定语从句:
起着界定先行词的身份,而不至与同类人或事物混淆的定语从句,一般不用逗号和主句隔开。如:
One of my brothers who is in the army now used to be an art student. 我一个现在当兵的兄弟学过艺术。(定语从句界定one of my brothers的身份:有多个兄弟,这里指的是当兵的兄弟)
The travellers who had already been informed about the flood stopped their journey. 那些已经获悉洪灾的路人暂停了行程。(只有获悉洪灾的路人才终止了行程,没有获悉洪灾的路人并没有暂停其行程。)
