在学习定语从句时,“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句是一个难点,难在何处?感到茫然的同学主要是不知道该选用什么介词。而介词的选用是有一定规律的,同学们只要掌握了这些规律,解题时就可迎刃而解,举一反三了。
一、根据定语从句中谓语动词的需要来确定介词。
如:
1.She paid the man from whom she had borrowed some money(=She paid the man.She had borrowed some money from him.)(borrow sth.from sb.意思是“向某人借东西”。)
2.In the dark street,there Wasn't a single person to whom she could turn for help.(NMET 1992)(turn to sb.for help意思是“求某人帮助”)
在这一句式结构中,句中的介词是与从句的谓语动词有一定的搭配关系。介词可用于关系代词之前,但先行词若指人,关系代词必须用whom,不能用who或that;若指物必须用which,不能用that。介词也可以置于从句谓语动词之后。这时,句中关系代词用who,whom,that均可,指物可用which或that,并均可省略。例如:
The middle-aged woman to whom I spoke just now is my English teacher.(=The middle aged woman[who/whom/that]I spoke to just now is my English teacher.)
二、根据定语从句的先行词的需要来确定介词。
1.He will never forget the day on which he joined the party.(on the day在那天)
2.Last Sunday my aunt bought me a telescope through which I could study the sky.(through a telescope透过望远镜)
三、根据定语从句中的形容词的需要来确定介词。
如:
China is a large country with a long history of which we are greatly proud.(be/feel proud of以……为自豪)
四、若表示“所有关系”或“整体中的一部分”,则用介词of。
如:
1.I live in this room,the window of which faces south.(=I live in this room,whose window faces south.)(表示“所有关系”)
2.There are over 3,000 workers in that factory,eighty-five percent of whom are women.=There are…,and 85% of them are women.(表示“整体中的一部分”)
3.China has hundreds of islands,the largest of which is Taiwan.(=China has hundreds of islands and the largest of them is Taiwan.)
五、根据定语从句句意的需要来确定介词。
如:
Zhang Jia,with whom I went to the museum yesterday afternoon,enjoyed herself very much.
