PAGEPAGE4What引導(dǎo)名詞性從句的五種用法what引導(dǎo)的名詞性從句是名詞性從句中較難理解和掌握的一類，其用法復(fù)雜，翻譯靈活，往往是同學(xué)們學(xué)習(xí)的難點(diǎn)。從句法上講，這類從句往往可以轉(zhuǎn)換成“名詞+定語(yǔ)從句”的形式，在翻譯時(shí)通?？杀磉_(dá)為“……的人或東西”、“……的數(shù)目或數(shù)量”、“……的時(shí)間或地方”等。本文擬對(duì)此作一歸納。一、表示“……的東西”，相當(dāng)于“thething(things)that…….”。如:1.Whatisknowntousallisthatthe2008OlympicGameswilltakeplaceinBeijing.(Thethingthatisknowntousallisthatthe2008OlympicGameswilltakeplaceinBeijng.)對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)總所周知的一件事情就是2008年奧運(yùn)會(huì)將在中國(guó)北京舉行。2.PeopleinChongqingareproudofwhattheyhaveachievedinthepasttenyears.(PeopleinChongqingareproudofthethingsthattheyhaveachievedinthepasttenyears)重慶人對(duì)他們?cè)谶^(guò)去十年來(lái)所取得的成就而感到自豪。3.Oneofthemostimportantquestionstheyhadtoconsiderwaswhatofpublichealth.(Oneofthemostimportantquestionstheyhadtoconsiderwasthethingofpublichealth)他們必須考慮其中最重要的問(wèn)題是公共衛(wèi)生。4. Whatparentssayanddohasalife-longeffectontheirchildren.Whatwecan'tgetseemsbetterthanwhatwehave.我們不能獲得的東西似乎比我們手中已有的東西要好。(可轉(zhuǎn)換成:Thethingsthatwecan't};etseembetterthanthethingsthatwehave.)Whatwasonceregardedasimpossiblehasnowbecomeareality.過(guò)去人們認(rèn)為不可能的事現(xiàn)已變?yōu)楝F(xiàn)實(shí)。(可轉(zhuǎn)換為:Thethingthatwasonceregardedasimpossiblehasnowbecomeareality.)二、表示“……的人”，相當(dāng)于“thepersonthat..."如:1.Whatwasmostimportanttoher,shetoldme,washerfamily.(Thepersonthatwasmostimportanttoher,shetoldme,washerfamily.)她告訴我，對(duì)她最重要的人是她的家人。Heisnotwhathewasafewyearsago.他不是兒年前的那個(gè)樣子了。WhoisitthathasmadeFredwhatheisnow?是誰(shuí)把弗雷德培養(yǎng)成現(xiàn)在這個(gè)樣子的?三、表示“……的數(shù)量或數(shù)目”，相當(dāng)于‘`theamount(number)that..."。如:Ourincomeisnowdoublewhatitwastenyearsago.我們現(xiàn)在的收人是10年前的兩倍。Tellmewhathedoes.告訴我他是干什么的。Wedon'tknowwhathisnameis.我們不知道他叫什么名字。IaskedhimwhatclothesIshouldwear.我問(wèn)他我該穿什么衣服。特別注意：“what”引導(dǎo)主語(yǔ)從句時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞：1）常與其后的名詞作表語(yǔ)一致2）根據(jù)句子的語(yǔ)境而定。Whatyouleftareonlyseveraloldbooks.Whatyousaidisofgreatimportance.Whether
