定语从句之介词加关系代词在中学英语课本中出现了许多介词+关系代词构成的从句或动词不定式充当后置定语的结构。在此结构中,介词有很多,但关系代词最常见的是:which,whom,whose等。Which指物,whom指人,whose既指人又指物。那介词又是根据什么来确定的呢?介词主要是根据先行词(名词或代词)或从句中的谓语动词或固定搭配来确定的。下面简要列举中学课本中常见的介词+关系代词结构,以供同学们在复习时参考。1.介词+which表时间、地点或原因,代替关系副词when、where、why:1)Istillrememberthedayonwhich(=when)IwenttoBeijing.2)Thefactoryinwhich(=where)Iworkisalargeone.3)Thisisthereasonforwhich(=why)hewaslateforschool.2.介词词组+关系代词(which指物,whom指人),表示存在关系。关系分句中须主谓倒置。1)Theyarrivedatafarmhouse,infrontofwhichsatanoldman.2)Isawawoman,ontheheadofwhomstoodabird.3.不定代词或数词+介词ofwhich(指物),whom(指人),说明整体中的部分关系.1)Chinahasmanyislands,oneofwhichisTaiwan.2)Thereareagreatmanystudentshere,noneofwhomlikethefilm.3)Hehasfivechildren,allofwhomarePartymembers.4)Thoseforeignteachers,mostofwhomhaveneverbeentoChinabefore,areenjoyingtheirworkhereverymuch.5)TherearemanykindsofbirdsinAustralia,andover140speciesofsnakes,manyofwhichareextremelydangerous.4.介词+which(指物),whom(指人),作分句中的目的、方式、地点状语等。这种结构中的介词一般为动词所支配。1)Couldyoutellmethemanforwhomyouhaveboughtthiscoat?2)Hebuiltatransparentwallthroughwhichhecouldobservewhatwentoninside.3)Theman,fromwhomIlearnedthenews,isanengineer.5.介词by+which(指物),whom(指人),在被动结构中表明动作的发出者.1)Thewolfbywhichthesheepwaskilledwasshot.2)Themanbywhomthewolfwasshotisagoodhunter.6.ofwhich代替whose,指物,用作分句中的后置定语。1)Isawsometrees,theleavesofwhich(=whoseleaves)wereblackwithdisease。2)Hementionedabook,thetitleofwhich(=whosetitle)Ihaveforgotten。7.介词+which(指物),whose(指人),作前置定语,修饰后面的中心词。1)Itrainedallnightandallday,duringwhichtimetheshipbrokeintopieces。2)Thedriverwasthemanfromwhoseroomshehadstolenthemap。8.介词+which+动词不定式。1)Shehadonly1.87dollarswithwhichtobuyJimapresent。(=tobuyJimapresent)2)Atlasttherewassomethingaboutwhichtowritehome。(=towritehomeabout)介词的选用:(1)从先行词跟介词的搭配习惯出发。如:Infrontofmyhouse,thereisatree,inwhichsomebirdsaresinging.我的房子前有一棵树,鸟儿正在树上唱歌。(在树上一般用介词in)(2)从定语从句中的动词、形容词对介词的习惯要求出发。如:ThecomputerforwhichIpaid5,000yuanismadeinShenzhen.我花了五千元所买的这台电脑使深圳造的。(pay与for搭配)(3)从先行词、定语从句中的动词或形容词两方面同时考虑出发。如:Doyouknowthegirlwithwhomthemantalkedjustnow?你认识跟那个男谈话的女孩吗?(talk究竟接to,with还是接about,这该由动词及现行词一起决定)(4)复合介词+关系代词。如:Godownthisroad,attheendofwhichyoucanseeahighbuildinganditisourofficebuilding.沿着条路走,在路的尽头你会看到一座高大的建筑,那就是我们的办公大楼。(5)名词+介词+关系代词。如:Hehasthreechildren,oneofwhosechildrenisstudyingabroadnow.他又三个小孩,其中一个在国外读书。注意:当定语从句的动词与介词是不可分割的固定搭配时,介词不能放到关系代词之前。如:Shehasalittledaughter,whoislookedafterbyhergrandma.就不能写成:Shehasalittledaughter,afterwhomislookedbyhergrandma.因为,lookafter是不可分开的固定短语强化练习:1.Agoodadoftenuseswords_____peopleattachpositivemeanings。A.inwhichBtowhichC。forwhichonwhich2.DrCurtisWelchdiscoveredthatsomechildrenhadaterribledisease_____hehadnomedicine。A.bywhichB。onwhichC。forwhichD。towhich3.ThereweretwopossessionsoftheJamesDillinghamYoungs______theybothtookgreatpride。A.inwhichB。forwhichC。ofwhichD。onwhichCBA4.Doyouknowthereason______hedidn’tcomehere?A.ofitB.foritC.whichD.forwhich5.Thebook,thecover,______isbroken,isnotmine.A.ofitB.foritC.inwhereD.ofwhich6.Haveyoufoundthecave_______thebearishibernating?A.forthatB.inwhichC.inwhereD.ofwhichDDB7.Iusedtoliveinahouse,_______grewatalltree.A.infrontofitB.infrontofwhichC.inthefrontofwhichD.inthefrontofit8.Thebosspaidus10dollarsforwashingtencars,_____hadn’tbeencleanedforatleasthalfayear.A.mostoftheseB.mostofthemC.mostofthatD.mostofwhich9.Doyouknowtheman_______Ishookhands?A.withwhichB.forwhomC.towhomD.withwhomBBD11.Iliketheway______hetalksandlaughs.A.whichB.whenC.inwhichD.forwhich12.Thesearethetools______towork.A.withthemB.bytheseC.bywhichD.withwhich13.Inthenewcitytherewasn‘tasingleperson_____thepoorboycouldturnforhelp.A.thatB.whoC.fromwhomD.towhomDCD14.ShewaseducatedatBeijingUniversity,_____shewentontohaveheradvancedstudyabroad.A.afterthatB.fromwhichC.fromthatD.afterwhich15.Hisparentswouldn’tlethimmarryanyone______familywaspoor.A.ofwhomtheB.whomC.ofwhoseD.the16.Frank’sdreamwastohavehisownshop______toproducetheworksofhisownhands.A.thatB.inwhichC.bywhichD.howADB17.Ihavemanyfriends,some_____arebusinessmen.A.ofthemB.fromwhichC.whoofD.ofwhom18.Myaunt,_______lifewashard,earnedlittlemoney.A.forwhoseB.forwhichC.forwhoD.forwhomDD
