第十二章：定語從句

一、在復合句中，修飾某一名詞或代詞的從句叫定語從句。被修飾的名詞或代

詞叫先行詞，定語從句一般放在先行詞的后面。

二、定語從句的關系詞

引導定語從句的關系詞有關系代詞和關系副詞，常見的關系代詞包括that,

which,who（賓格whom,所有格whose）等，關系副詞包括where,when,why

等。關系代詞和關系副詞放在先行詞及定語從句之間起連接作用，同時又作定語從

句的重要成分。

三、定語從句的分類

根據(jù)定語從句與先行詞的關系，定語從句可分為限制性定語從句及非限制性定語

從句。限制性定語從句緊跟先行詞，主句與從句不用逗號分開，從句不可省去，非

限制性定語從句主句與從句之間有逗號分開，起補充說明作用，如省去，意思仍完

整。

四、關系代詞的用法

1.that既可以用于指人，也可以用于指物。在從句中作主語或賓語。例如：

Marylikesmusicthatisquietandgentle,（that作主語）

Thecoat（that）Iputonthedeskisblue,（that作賓語）

2.which用于指物，在句中作主語或賓語。例如：

Thebuildingwhichstandsnearthetrainstationisasupermarket.（作主語）

Thefilm（which）wesawlastnightwaswonderful.（作賓語）

3.who,whom用于指人，who用作主語，whom用作賓語。在口語中，有時

可用who代替whom。例如：

ThegirlwhooftenhelpsmewithmyEnglishisfromEngland.（作主語）

Whoistheteacher（whom）LiMingistalkingto?（作賓語）

注意：

1）當關系代詞在定語從句中充當賓語時，who、that>which可省略，但介

詞在關系代詞前時，只能用“介詞+which/whom”結構（此時關系代詞不能用that

代替）。例如：

Thisisthehouse（which/that）welivedinlastyear.（可?。?/p>

Thisisthehouseinwhichwelivedlastyear.（不可省，關系代詞不可用that）

Pleasetellme（whom/that）youborrowedtheEnglishnovelfrom.（可?。?/p>

PleasetellmefromwhomyouborrowedtheEnglishnovel.（不可省，關系代詞不

可用that）

2）關系詞只能用that的情況：

a.先行詞被序數(shù)詞或形容詞最高級所修飾，或本身是序數(shù)詞、基數(shù)詞、形容

詞最高級時，只能用that,而不用which.例如：

Hewasthefirstpersonthatpassedtheexam.

ThisisthemostbeautifulplacethatIhavebeento.

b.被修飾的先行詞為all,any,much,many,everything,anything,none,

-2-

theone等不定代詞時，只能用that,而不用which.例如：

Isthereanythingthatyouwanttobuyintheshop?=

Ididn'tunderstandthewordsallthathesaid.

c.先行詞被theonly,thevery,thesame,thelast,little,few，no,just

等詞修飾時，只能用that,而不用which.例如：

ThisisthesamebikethatIlost.這就是我丟的那輛自行車。

d.先行詞里同時含有人或物時，只能用that,而不用which.例如：

IcanrememberwellthepersonsandsomepicturesthatIsawintheroom.

e.以who或which引導的特殊疑問句，為避免重復，只能用that.例如：

Whoisthegirlthatiscrying?正在哭泣的那個女孩是誰？

f.主句是therebe結構，修飾主語的定語從句用that,而不用which.例如：

ThereisabookonthedeskthatbelongstoTom.桌子上那本書是湯姆的。

3)關系詞只能用which,而不用that的情況：

a.先行詞為that,those時，用which,而不用that.例如：

What'sthatwhichisunderthedesk?在桌子底下的那些東西是什么？

b.關系代詞前有介詞時，一般用which,而不用that.例如：(同(1))

Thisistheroominwhichhelives.這是他居住的房間。

c.引導非限制性定語從句，用which,而不用that.例如：

Tomcameback,whichmadeushappy.湯姆回來了，這使我們很高興。

五、關系副詞的用法

(1)when指時間，其先行詞表示時間，在句中作時間狀語。例如：

Thiswasthetimewhenhearrived.這是他到達的時間。

(2)where指地點，其先行詞表示地點，在句中作地點狀語。例如：

Thisisplacewhereheworks.這是他工作的地點。

(3)why指原因，其先行詞是原因，起原因狀語作用。例如：

Nobodyknowsthereasonwhyheisoftenlateforschool.沒人知道他為什么

上學總遲到。

注意：“介詞+which/whom”結構有時可與其他關系代詞或關系副詞互相轉換

Thatisthehousewheremyfatherusedtolive.

=Thatisthehousewhichmymotherusedtolivein.

=Thatisthehouseinwhichmymotherusedtolive.

上句中：inwhich=where

補充：as引導非限制性定語從句

當先行詞有such,so,thesame等修飾時,關系代詞要用as；as在從句中可

作主語，賓語和表語。

e.g.1).Ihaveneverseensuchakindgirlassheis.

2).Heissuchagoodteacher(sogoodateacher)aseverystudentrespects

比較：

Heissuchagoodteacher(sogoodateacher)thateverystudentrespectshim.

-3-

(此句為such/so-that引導的結果狀語從句)

3).Suchastudentasoftenstudieshardissuretopassthisexam.

4).HeboughtthesamebikeasIdidlastweek.區(qū)另(JthatIdidlastweek

Las不修飾某個先行詞，而是指代主句的全部或部分內容，可譯為“這一

點，此事；正如"，或不譯。這種從句可位于句首、句中或句尾。常見

于asweallknow,ashasbeensaidabove，asisusual，

asisoftenthecase,aseverybodycansee,asisknowntousall等結

構。e.g.1).Hehaspassedtheexam,asisapleasuretous.2).Asweallkno

w,theearthmovesaroundthesun.3).Thisexperiment,asyouhadexpected,

succeededatlast.

2.如前所述，which也可引導這種從句，兩者?？苫Q。(非限定性定語從

句謂語句末且指代前面的主句)

e.g.1).Thosetwostudentsarewearingthesameclothes,which/asisveryinte

resting.

2).Theycametothepartyontime,as/whichhadbeenexpected.

但在以下兩種情況下有區(qū)別：

1).as從句可位于句首(或主句前)，而which從句只能在主句

后oe.g.isoftenthecase,wehaveworkedouttheproductionplan.

A.WhichB.WhenC.WhatD.As

2).關系代詞作主語時,如果從句的謂語是及物動詞+賓語的結構,則只能用

whicho

e.g.Hisfatherdiedinatrafficaccident,whichmadeusgreatlysurprise

d.

3)當which在從句中指代的事先行詞而不是主句，只能用

whiche.g.Thecar,whichwesawontheplayground,isMike,s.

3.that在有些句型中可視為關系副詞：

1).way后面的定語從句常用that或inwhich引導，但可省

略。e.g.Idon

tliketheway(that/inwhich)youspeaktoyourparents.Theway(inwhic

h/that)heworkedontheproblemwaswrong.注：如果way在從句中作主語

或賓語，應該用關系代詞

which/that。e.g.Heexplainedtheprobleminawaythat/whicheveryonecou

Idaccept.

2).Itis(about,high)timethat(正)是的時候了。that從句中

常用一般過去時，that在口語中可省

略oe.g.Itwashightimethatwestoppedpollution.Itistimethatyouh

adlunchnow.

比較

-4-

Therewasatimewhen(duringwhich)wewereshortofoil.3.Thisisthefirst(

secondlast)timethat(從句中常用完成時態(tài))

e.g.Thisis/willbethelasttimethatIhavecometoChina.Itwasth

efirsttimethathehadbeeninvitedtoChina.

4.注意區(qū)別定語從句和其他從句

1).區(qū)別where引導的定語從句和地點狀語從句。(最明顯的區(qū)別是定語從

句一定有先行詞)

e.g.Afterthewar,anewschoolwasputupwheretherehadoncebeenatheat

re.(狀語從句)

Anewschoolwasputupattheplacewheretherehadoncebeenatheatre.(

定語從句)

2).區(qū)別“介詞+which”的定語從句和“介詞+what”的賓語從句。

e.g.(1)Thisisthecompanyinwhichheworkedthreeyearsago.(which弓I

導定語從句)

(2)Amoderncityhasbeensetupin__wasawastelandtenyearsago.(

what賓語從句)

A.whatB.whichC.thatD.where

3).區(qū)別that的定語從句和同位語從句。

e.g.Thenewsthathewonthematchmadeusexcited.(同位語從

句)Thenews(that)hetoldusmadeusveryexcited.(定語從句)

同位語從句中that不作句子成分，但不能省略，去掉that從句仍然完整。定

語從句中that是關系代詞，可作主語或賓語，作賓語時可省略。

5.關系代詞(which/that)與關系副詞(when,where,why)的選取方法：

A)當先行詞是定語從句中的主語或賓語時，選用關系代詞。關系代詞指代

先行詞，并代替先行詞在從句中作主語或賓語。

B)如果先行詞不是定語從句中的主語或賓語,先行詞前面需要加上一個介

詞才能在從句中作成分的時候，選用關系副詞。關系副詞在從句中作狀語，常

可轉換為“介詞+which”。

e.g.1)Doyourememberthedaywhich/thatwespentinthemountainvilla

ge?

Doyourememberthedaywhen(=onwhich)wevisitedthemountainvillage?

2)Thisisthefactorywhich/thatwevisitedlastyear.Thisisthefactorywher

e(=inwhich)heworkedlastyear.

3)Wedon,tbelievethereasonwhich/thathegaveforhiscominglate.

Wedon'tknowthereasonwhy(=forwhich)hehaschangedhismind.

答案與解析：

1.A.主語與run(延伸)是主動關系，所以用現(xiàn)在分詞。Those指街道，所以不用who

而用that來引導定語從句。

2.B.因為在此題中where引導定語從句，表示“在這種種況下"，與inwhich相當。

3.A.因為先行詞是Beijing而不是thisautumn所以用where引導定語從句。

4.B.答案B是省略了關系代詞that的定語從句,另外,to后還省略了動詞原形paint。

5.C.因為ofwhich引導定語從句，并在從句中作定語。

ofwhichthetelephonenumber=whosetelephonenumbero

6.D.因為這是個非限制性定語從句，先行詞是前面一句話的內容。

7.B.因為表示“階段、程度、地步”的thepoint在定語從句中作地點狀語，所以用

where引導定語從
