Lesson 121 The man in a hat戴帽子的男士

课文详注 Further notes on the text

1.…but I forgot to take them with me.……但是我忘了拿走。

forget to do sth.表示“忘了做某事”,them指两本字典。

2.put it on,戴上它。

这里的 it指 a hat,以避免重复。 put on是“戴上”、“穿上”的意思。假如它的宾语是一个名词,这个名词可放在 put on之后,也可放在put和on之间。假如是代词,就必须放在put和on 之间。如:

Put on your coat./Put your coat on. 穿上外衣。但只能说:Put it on. 把它穿上。

定语从句

定语从句像形容词一样起修饰作用,但位于所修饰的名词之后。定语从句由关系代词引导,紧跟在它所修饰的成分后面。关系代词 who,whom与 that修饰人,which与 that修饰东西。关系代词指代从句的主语或宾语,同时又充当连接词,把从句和主句连接起来。请看例句:

(1)关系代词作从句的主语(who/which/that):

The dog which/that is carrying the basket is mine.

叼着篮子的那只豿是我的。

He's the porter who/that carried my suitcase.

他就是那个扛着我的衣箱的搬运工。

(2)关系代词作从句的宾语(whom/that/which):

They're the windows which/that the children broke yesterday.

这些就是孩子们昨天打坏的窗户。

She's the lady whom I served yesterday.

她就是我昨天服务过的那位女士。

定语从句是英语中的一种语法结构,它用来修饰名词或代词,提供额外的信息。这种从句通常跟在它所修饰的词后面,并由关系代词(如who, whom, which, that等)引导。关系代词在从句中担任主语或宾语,并且起到连接主句和从句的作用。下面我们将详细探讨定语从句的用法和结构。

关系代词的作用

  1. 关系代词作从句的主语:

    当关系代词在定语从句中作主语时,它指代主句中的名词或代词,并且这个名词或代词是人、物或概念。

    Example:

    • The book that is on the table is my favorite.(桌子上的那本书是我最喜欢的。)
    • The person who called you is my friend.(给你打电话的那个人是我的朋友。)
  2. 关系代词作从句的宾语:

    当关系代词在定语从句中作宾语时,它同样指代主句中的名词或代词,但这时它代替的是主句中的宾语部分。

    Example:

    • I don't like the movie which we watched last night.(我不喜欢我们昨晚看的那部电影。)
    • The girl whom he is talking to is his cousin.(他正在说话的那个女孩是他的堂妹。)

定语从句的位置

定语从句总是紧跟在它所修饰的名词或代词之后。这个名词或代词被称为先行词。定语从句通过关系代词与先行词连接,为句子提供额外的描述信息。

选择关系代词

选择关系代词时,需要考虑先行词是指代人还是指代物,以及关系代词在从句中的功能(主语还是宾语)。

非限定性定语从句

非限定性定语从句提供关于先行词的额外信息,但这些信息并不是理解句子所必需的。非限定性定语从句通常由逗号与主句隔开,并且关系代词 "who," "which," 或 "whom" 引导。

Example:

限定性与非限定性定语从句:限定性定语从句是对先行词进行限定或指定,而非限定性定语从句则提供额外的、非必要的信息。限定性定语从句不使用逗号隔开,而非限定性定语从句则需要用逗号隔开。

逗号的使用:如你所述,当定语从句是非限定性的时,应在定语从句前后使用逗号。例如:

关系代词的使用:在非限定性定语从句中,通常使用"who," "which," 或 "whom" 作为关系代词,而不是 "that"。这是因为"that"通常用于限定性定语从句中。例如:

避免歧义:在使用定语从句时,要注意避免可能的歧义。确保定语从句清晰地修饰了正确的先行词。

句子的平衡:长句子可能包含多个定语从句,要注意保持句子的平衡和可读性。必要时,可以使用分号或将句子拆分为几个较短的句子。

时态一致性:定语从句中的动词时态应与主句中的谓语动词时态保持一致,除非从句描述的是一个普遍真理或过去的事实。

通过注意这些事项,你可以有效地使用定语从句来丰富你的语言表达,同时确保句子的准确性和清晰性。
