定语从句进阶:介词+关系代词与as的用法
一、知识点讲解
1. 「介词 + 关系代词」结构
当先行词在定语从句中作介词的宾语时,介词可以提前到关系代词之前,构成「介词 + which/whom」结构:指物用 which,指人用 whom,不能用 that 或 who。介词的选择主要看三点:一是从句中动词与介词的固定搭配,二是先行词与介词的搭配习惯,三是介词短语在句中的整体意义。
例句: - This is the house in which I lived ten years ago.(live in the house) - The man with whom you talked just now is my uncle.(talk with the man) - The pencil with which he wrote was broken.(write with the pencil)
注意:当介词与动词构成不可拆分的固定短语时(如 look after、listen to、depend on),介词必须留在动词之后,不能提前。例如:The babies whom the nurse is looking after are all healthy. 不能说 after whom。
2. as 引导的定语从句
as 可以作关系代词引导定语从句,主要有三种模式: - such ... as:Such books as you like are very popular.(as 在从句中作 like 的宾语) - the same ... as:He made the same mistake as I did.(表示「和……一样的」) - as 引导非限制性定语从句,可置于主句之前、之中或之后,指代整个主句:As we all know, the earth goes around the sun.
二、as 与 which 用法对比
| 比较项 | as | which |
|---|---|---|
| 位置 | 可置于主句前、中、后 | 只能置于主句之后 |
| 语义 | 强调「正如、正像」 | 指代前文所述事实 |
| 固定搭配 | such...as、the same...as | 无固定搭配 |
| 先行词 | 整个主句或某个名词 | 整个主句或某个名词 |
对比例句: - As is known to all, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China.(正如大家所知) - He failed the exam again, which made his parents very angry.(指代前面整件事)
判断口诀:句首只用 as;「正如」必用 as;such/the same 后面跟 as。
三、例题精讲
【例1】The reason ______ he was late for school was that he got up late. A. why B. for which C. that D. A and B
解析:先行词是 reason,从句中缺原因状语,可用 why 或 for which 引导。答案:D。
【例2】He has three good friends, ______ are engineers. A. most of whom B. most of them C. most of which D. most who
解析:非限制性定语从句中「most of + 关系代词」指人用 whom,且先行词 friends 作 of 的宾语。答案:A。
【例3】______ was expected, he passed the driving test at the first attempt. A. Which B. As C. That D. It
解析:从句位于主句之前且表示「正如所料」,用 as 引导非限制性定语从句。答案:B。
四、课后练习
基础题:用适当的关系代词填空。 1. The house __ windows face south is my home.(提示:指物的所属关系) 2. This is the pen ____ which I wrote the letter.
提高题:The teacher ______ whom you should listen is standing over there.(填介词)
挑战题:用 as 引导的定语从句翻译「众所周知,勤奋是成功的关键」,并把「他犯了和我一样的错误」翻译成英文。
