He that makes himself a sheep shall be eaten by the wolf. 甘当小绵羊,迟早要喂狼. 概念:(1) 定语从句:在主从复合句中用作定语的从句叫定语从句。定语从句一般紧接在先行词(antecedent)后面。(2) 先行词:被定语从句修饰的成份。
2、先行词可以为一个词,短语,或整个主句。(3) 引导定语从句的词叫关系词,分为关系代词和关系副词。关系词的作用:1) 引导定语从句,连接主句和从句,相当于一个连词;2) 必在从句中作某个句子成份(可以做主语,宾语,表语,定语,状语)常用的关系代词: that、 which、 who、whom、whose、as常用的关系副词(在从句中只作状语): when、why 、 whereThe student who answered the question was John.

7、whose:who: 主格, 在从句中作主语,在口语或非正式用法中作宾语; 只可指人whom: 宾格,在从句中作宾语 ; 只可指人whose: 属格,在从句中作定语,可指人也可指物。I like the students who/that work hard. (主语)All who heard the story were amazed.

10、那座房子是办公楼。2. “介词 + whose +名词” 引导定语从句。如:I love my motherland, for whose good future I will work hard. 我爱我的祖国,为了她美好的未来我要努力工作。3. 在下列情况下,一般只用 of whom 和 of which。(1) 定语从句的主语是 few, little, some, most, many, much 等时,一般只用 of whom 和 of which。In the room are lots of people, many of whom I dont know. 房间里有很多人,很多

14、 forget the day on which I came to this school. (on the day)2. 二动,即根据定语从句中谓语动词与介词的搭配关系选择。This is the iPad on which I spent 3000 yuan. (spend money on sth.)3. 三意义,即根据定语从句的意义来确定介词。This is my pair of glasses, without which I cannot see clearly.This is the book for which you asked. =This is the book (th

16、to whom she could turn for help.Is this the factory to which you paid a visit last week?Is this factory the one to which you paid a visit last week?This is the girl whom they are looking after. (介词 after 与 look 构成固定词组,不可前置。look at, look for, look after, take care of, hear ofaboutfrom, care for, look
17、 forward, pay attention to, listen to 等)as 的用法:(as 引导定语从句, 在定语从句中作主语、宾语、表语 )如为限制性的,多用于 the same as ; the same as;such as ; as many/much as;so as 等结构中。如:I have the same book as you (have). 我有一本和你的一样的书。Her attitude to him was quite the same as it had always been. (关系代词 as 和指示代词 same连用, 在从句中用作表语, 先行词是
18、same.).-Why didnt you mention that in face of the police just now?- I thought it was such a minor detail as was hardly worth mentioning. We will only discuss such problems as have something to do with our own interests.Dont do such things as you are not sure about. There is no such place as you drea
19、m of in all this world.比较:I live in the same house that he used to live in.Im wearing the same shirt as you wore yesterday.比较:Here is so big a stone as no one can lift. (定语从句)Here is so big a stone that no one can lift it.(结果状语从句)如为非限制性的,多单独引导一个定语从句,这种定语从句可置于句首,句中或句尾,译为“正如,这一点 “。 (动词常为 know, see, ex
20、pect, point out, etc.)As we all know, smoking is harmful to ones health . (as 作宾语 )=As is known to all, smoking is harmful to ones health . (as 作主语)=Its known to all that smoking is harmful to ones health .=Smoking is harmful to ones health , as we all know .(as 作宾语)=Smoking, as we all know, is harm
21、ful to one health.He was a foreigner, as I knew from his accent. (宾语, 先行词是前面整个句子 ). 关系副词引导的定语从句:When 指时间,在定语从句中作时间状语。其先行词是表时间的名词(如:time, day, week, tear, month, etc.)He came last night when I was out.We will put off the picnic until next week, when the weather would be better.注意:先行词为“时间名词“ ,可用 when
22、引导定语从句,when 在定语从句中作状语;还可以用 which 或 that 引导,which 或 that 在从句中作主语或宾语。比较: I still remember the day when /on which my brother joined the army.(作状语)Next month, when you will be in your hometown, is just around the corner.I still remember the days which/that we spent together. (作宾语) Next winter which/that
23、 youll spend in Harbin, Im sure, will be exciting.I shall never forget the day when Shen Zhou was launched, which has a great effect on my life.There are occasions when joking is not permissible.Where 指地点,在定语从句中作地点状语。其先行词是表示地点的名词,如:place, school, factory, room, etc. This is the place where I was bor
24、n. I live in the room where /in which he used to live. 注意:先行词是“地点名词“ ,定语从句可用 where 引导,还可用 which 或 that 引导,which/that 在从句中作主语或宾语。 比较: This is the factory where /in which he worked last year. (作状语)在高中的英语学习中,我们都知道,where 在定语从句中用作关系副词,作状语,先行词一般指地点。例如:This is the farm where we worked when we were young.这就
25、是我们年轻时候在此干活的农场。He met his wife in the park where they fell in love with each other.他是在这个公园遇到他的妻子,就是在那里,他们相爱了。当然,在实际的英语学习中,where 在定语从句中的用法远不是这么简单,相反,要复杂得多,为了让学生对 where 在定语从句中的用法有更好的了解,下面我就对学生在学习过程中的重难点问题谈一谈它的用法。一、某些在从句中充当地点状语的“介词+关系词”结构可以与 where 互换,where=in/at/on/.which例如:This is the house in which I
26、 lived two years ago.这是我两年前住过的房子。This is the house where I lived two years ago.在英语学习中,并不是单纯地让学生知道 where 的这种用法就可以了,很多时候学生要掌握 where 和其他词的用法的区别,才能更好地把握定语从句的用法。例如: This is the factory where/in which you worked last year.This is the factory that/which/you visited last year.在第一句中,关系词在定语从句中作状语,所以用关系副词 wher
27、e 或者 in which,因为定语从句中 worked 是个不及物动词;而在第二句中,关系词在定语从句中做宾语,因此用 that 或 which,还可以省略,visited 是个及物动词。学生有时还会碰到更复杂的情况。例如:Is this factory the one that/which/ you visited last year?Is this factory the one where/in which you lived last year?Is this the factory where/in which you lived last year?这几个句子比前面的两个句子又复
28、杂,除了要区别关系词在定语句子作什么成分,还要注意到前两个句子缺成分,所以要补充 the one。二、where 定语从句修饰抽象名词where 引导的定语从句的先行词大多数情况下是表示地点的名词,但也有特殊情况。如果定语从句修饰 point,situation,part,condition 和 case 等表示抽象意义的词,关系词在定语从句中充当状语时,常用 where 引导,意思是“到了某种地步,在某种境况中” 。为了帮助同学们熟悉这一语言现象,正确掌握这一知识点,对 where 定语从句修饰抽象名词的用法作一归纳。1) where 定语从句修饰抽象名词 pointYou reach a
29、point where medicine cant help. 你已到了药物无法治疗的地步。We have reached a point where a change is needed.我们到了必须改一改的地步。注:有时 point 也可以是具体的地点:The accident happened at the point where the A15 joins the M1. 事故发生在 A15 与 M1 交叉的十字路口。2) where 定语从句修饰抽象名词 caseThere are cases where the word “mighty” is used as an adverb.
30、 在一些情况下,mighty 一词可用作副词。3) where 定语从句修饰抽象名词 activityThose successful deaf dancers think that dancing is an activity where sight matters more than hearing.那些失聪的成功舞蹈演员们认为,舞蹈是一种让人看胜过让人听的活动。4) where 定语从句修饰抽象名词 situationHe got into a situation where it is hard to decide what is right and wrong. 他陷入一种难以分辨是
31、非的局面。5) where 定语从句修饰抽象名词 positionIts put me in a position where I cant afford to take the job. 这使我陷入一种不能接受此工作的境地。6) where 定语从句修饰抽象名词 jobShe wants a job where her management skills can be put to good use. 她想找一份能将她的管理技能派上用场的工作。当然了,我们碰到这些词作为先行词时并不一定都用 where,我们也要具体情况具体分析,他们只有在定语从句中作状语时才用 where。例如:We are
32、 trying to reach a point _ both sides will sit down together and talk. A. which B. that C. where D. when-Do you have anything to say for yourself?-Yes, theres one point _ we must insist on.A. why B. where C. how D. /上面两个句子虽然先行词相同,都是 point,但是由于他们在定语从句中充当的成分不同,所以我们在选择关系词时就要区别对待。第一个句子中关系词在句中作状语,所以选择 wh
33、ere 关系副词;第二个句子中关系词在定语从句中做宾语,所以选择关系代词that, which 或者不填,这样第一题选择 C,第二题选择 D。The treatment will continue until the patient reaches the point where he can walk correctly and safely. I think you have got to the point where a change is needed, or you would fail.Government reports, legal papers and most busin
34、ess letters are the main situations where English is used. Hes got himself into a dangerous situation where hes likely to lose control of the plane.The small mountain village where we spent our holiday last month lies in what /the place which is now part of Hubei.This is the park which/that they vis
35、ited last year. (作宾语)Not having been there before, he simply had no idea about the place, which everyone says is worth visiting.Why 指原因,在定语从句中作原因状语。先行词为 reason 时,可用 for which 指代;当关系词在从句中作主语或宾语时,则用 which 或 that 引导。如:The reason why / for which / (that) he didnt attend the meeting was that he was ill.I
36、 dont believe the reason (that/which) he gave me. (作宾语) Have you asked him the reason that may explain his success? (作主语)Ex.) He was late .Thats because he got up late.He got up late. Thats why he was late.(表语从句)(the reason) why/for which he was late. (定语从句)当先行词为 way 时,定语从句常用 that, in which,或不用引导。 w
37、ay 后的定语从句 的引导词不用时较多。但如果关系词在句中作主语或宾语时,则用 which 或 that 引导。如:This is the way (that) /in which I do such things.比较: Please do the experiment in the way(that/which)I have shown you. 限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别:1. 形式上,非限制性定语从句往往用逗号隔开。2. 语法上,非限制性定语从句一般不用 that.3. 语义上,限制性定语从句与先行词关系紧密,起限定作用,如果去掉了这个定语从句,整个句子就不完整或者会改变意
38、思;而非限制性定语从句与先行词关系不是很紧密,对先行词起补充说明或描述的作用。This is the book I like best. 这就是我最喜欢的那本书。Beijing, which has been Chinas capital for more than 800 years , is rich in cultural and historic relics. 北京是中国八百年之久的古都,它有着丰富的文化和历史遗产。4. 翻译时,限制性定语从句可译为一句(较短的一般译为“的“ 字结构) ;而非限制性定语从句可译为两句。 (见上句翻译)比较: He has a sister, who
39、is a musician.He has a sister who is a musician.引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词,指人时用 who, whom, whose , 指物时用 which , whose; 关系副词 when,where, why, etc.1. He studied hard at school when he was young, which leads to his success in his later life.2. Toms father, who arrived just now, is a famous scientist.3. They set u
40、p a separate state of their own, where they would be free to keep Negroes as slaves.4. He was proud, which his brother never was. . 几个易混淆的关系代词的比较:that as we all can see(正如我们看到的); be announced/expected/known/imagined/mentioned/said/shown/reported 等。这些结构常放句首,偶尔也可以放句中或句末。As is known to all, China is a
41、developing country.Kate was late for school, as often happened.5. 在非限制性定语从句中 which 指代主句中某一个单词时,as 不可以。My brother enjoyed playing basketball, which he really plays well.Beijing, which he was born in, is our capital.6. “介词+关系代词(介宾代物) ”中关系代词只能用 which。The Travel Agency, with which our company has been d
42、ealing for several years, has opened for new branches. Air is a mixture of gases, of which oxygen forms 21 percent.7. 从句中的谓语动词是否定形式时,常用 which。 He can write a letter in English, which I can not.Metal will bear beating with a hammer, which a stone will not 8.在非限制性定语从句关系代词代表前面主句中的宾语从句时,常用 which He said
43、 he had passed the exam, which was untrue.定语从句中关系代词省略与保留我们知道,关系代词在定语从句中作宾语时可以省略,但也有几种特殊情况,关系代词不用作宾语也可以省略,同学们学习和使用时请注意。 在下列情况下,引导宾语从句的关联词可以省略。 一、that 在定语从句中作表语时。例如: She is all (that) a teacher should be. 她具备一个老师应该具备的所有条件。 二、that 在从句中作补语时。例如: Im not the fool(that) you thought me. 我不是你以前所认为的那个傻子了。 He i
44、s the nicest teacher (that) the students consider him in their school. 他就是学生认为学校中最好的那个老师。 三、作状语时的省略。 1. 当先行词是 reason,且在定语从句中作原因状语时,可以用关系副词 why 或关系代词that,也可以省略。例如: The reason (why/that) he failed was his laziness. 他失败的原因是因为他懒惰。 That is the reason I did it. 那就是我做那件事的原因。 2. 当先行词是 way,且在定语从句中作方式状语时,关联词可
45、用 in which 或 that,也可以省略。例如: The way(in which/ that) these comrades look at problems is wrong.这些同志看待问题的方式是错误的。 That was the way(in which / that) she worked the problem out. 她就是用那种办法解决问题的。 3. 当先行词是 time 时,关联词可用 when, that 或省略。例如: The second time (that) I saw him was in 2000. 我第二次见到他是在 2000 年。 I dont k
46、now the exact time (when/ that) the sports meeting will take place. 我不知道运动会举办的确切时间。 4.当先行词是 place 时,关联词可用 where,that 或省略。例如: The place(where/ that) we will have our picnic is not decided yet. 我们举行野餐的地点还没定下来。 This is the right place he was born.这儿就是他的出生地。( 注意: 句末不可用介词 in) 同学们往往认为关系代词作宾语时就一定可以省略,其实不然.
47、在下列四种情况下,关系代词虽作宾语,却不能省略。 一、在介词+whom /which 结构中, whom, which 不能省略。例如: Do you know any shops nearby in which I can buy flowers?你知道附近有可以买到花的商店吗? That is the headmaster with whom my father was talking just now.刚才和我爸爸交谈的那个人是校长。 二、在非限制性定语从句中,作宾语的关系代词也不能省略。例如: Mr Green, whom you know, is the tallest in our
48、 school. 格林先生是我们学校里最高的,你也认识他。 The elephant is like a spear, as anyone can see. 大象像长矛,任何人都知道。 三、在 the same . as, such . as, as . as, the same. that 结构中, as, that 即使作宾语,也不能省略。例如: I have bought the same bike as you (have).

49、ay. 这就是我前天读过的那本书。(关系代词 that 如要换成 as, 则指与我读的书一样,而不是同一本。) 四、当 and, but, or 等连词连接两个或两个以上的定语从句修饰一个先行词时,关系代词第一个可省略,第二、第三个等不可省略。例如: This is the book (which) I read yesterday and which I found very interesting. 这就是我昨天读的那本书,它很有趣。 You have many people around you (whom) you always turn to and whom you will never forget.你身边有很多人,你经常向他们求助,你永远不要忘记他们。
