语法知识归纳(定语从句)

1. 由who, whom, whose引导的定语从句。这类定语从句中who用作主语，whom作宾语，whose作定语。

This is the man who helped me.

The doctor (whom) you are looking for is in the room.

Do you know the man whose name is Wang Yu?

在定语从句中，若先行词指人，其关系代词可用who, whom, 也可用that。

The girl who/that is speaking at the meeting is our monitor.

The boy (who/whom/that) you saw just now is my brother.

在下列情况下多用或须用 who

① 关系代词在从句中作主语时，多用who.

Do you know the man who spoke just now?

The doctor who treated me was very experienced.

②先行词为all, anyone, one, ones等时，多用who。

All who heard the news were excited.

Anyone who breaks the rule will be punished.

③先行词为those和people时多用who。

Those who want to go please sign their names here.

People who can see sometimes act just as foolishly.

④在非限制性定语从句中作主语须用who，作宾语须用whom。

Tom’s father, who is over sixty, still works hard.

Mr Green, whom you saw in the library yesterday, will teach us physics next term.

⑤在被分割的定语从句中须用who.

A new teacher will come tomorrow who will teach you German.

⑥在以there be开头的句子中多用who.

There is a stranger who wants to see our headmaster.

⑦一个句子中带有两个定语从句，其中一个关系代词是that，另一个须用who。

The student who was praised at the meeting is the monitor that is modest and studies very hard.

Whose引导的定语从句应注意以下几点：

① whose引导定语从句，其后应紧跟名词，构成名词短语。

That’s the child whose father is an engineer.

② whose引导定语从句，其先行词不仅可以指人，还可以指物。

Mr King, whose legs were badly hurt, was quickly hurt, was quickly taken to hospital.

It was a meeting whose importance I didn’t realize at the time.

I saw a tree whose leaves were black with disease.

③ whose在定语从句中与它所修饰的名词一起可作介词的宾语，可以与介词放在先行词与从句之间。

The boss in whose department Mr King worked had heard about the accident.

Tom, on whose bike I went to school is a friend of mine.

④whose的先行词指物时, 可用of which代替, 但词序不同，即whose+名词=the +名词 +of which

The novel whose title( the title of which) is Red and Black is very interesting.

He lives in the room whose window( the window of which) faces south.

2 which引导的定语从句

which在从句中作主语或谓语动词或介词的宾语。

This is the book which you want.

The building which stands near the river is our school.

The room in which there is a machine is a workshop.

注意：whom, which作介词宾语时，介词一般可放在之前，也可放在从句原来的位置上。介词放于前面时，作宾语的关系到代词不能省略。在含有介词的动词固定词组中，介词只能放在原来的位置上。

There was no single person the street to whom she could turn for help.

This is the person whom you are looking for.

3.由that引导的定语从句

that在定语从句中可以指人或物，在从句中作主语或谓语动词的宾语。但不能放在介词后面作宾语。

The letter (that) I received was from my father.

注意：在下面几种情况下必须用that 引导定语从句：

①先行词是不定代词all, few, little, much, something, nothing, anything等。

All (that) we have to do is to practice every day.

② 先行词被序数词或形容词的最高级修饰。

The first lesson (that) I learned will never be forgotten.

③先行词被all, any, every, few, little, no, some 等修饰。

I have read all the books (that) you gave me.

④ 先行词被the only, the very, the same, the last, just修饰时。

He is the only person ( that) I want to talk to.

⑤先行词既有人又有物时。

They talked of things and persons (that) they remembered in the school.

⑥ 当主语是以who或which开头的特殊疑问句时，定语从句须用that，以免与先行词重复。

Who is the boy that was here just now?

Which of us that knows something about physics does not know this?

⑦ 当先行词在定语从句中作表语时。

The village is no longer the one that it used to be.

4.as引导的定语从句

as 用作关系代词和关系副词引导定语从句，构成, the same …as…, such…as…, so…as…等结构。

I like the same book as you have.

I shall do it again in the same way as you did.

I want to have such a dictionary as he has.

注意：此处要注意定语从句和状语从句的区别。试比较：

Mr Chen gave us such a difficult question as nobody worked out.

Mr Chen gave us such a difficult question that nobody worked it out.

注意：①关系代词在从句中作主语时，从句的谓语动词的人称和数必须和先行词保持一致。

Those who are against the plan please sign your names here.

Anyone who breaks the law is to be punished.

Tom is one of the students who were praised by the teacher yesterday.

Tom is the one of the students who was praised by the teacher yesterday.

② 关系代词whom, which, that在限定性定语从句中作动词宾语或介词宾语，而该介词又位于从句末尾时，经常省略，但as一般不省略。

同位语从句与定语从句的区别：

① 从意义上：同位语从句对名词作补充说明或进行解释，而定语从句进行修饰，限定，相当于一个形容词的作用。

② 从结构上：同位语从句由连接代词/副词引导，最常用的连接词一般不省略，也不在从句中担任成分，而定语从句由关系代词/副词引导，在定语从句中作主语不能省略作宾语可省略。

③从涵义上：同位语从句与所说明解释的名词无逻辑关系，而定语从句所修饰的名词是该从句逻辑上的主、宾、表、定、状语等。例如：

The news that our team lost the game disappointed all of us.

The news that you told me yesterday is so disappointing.

④同位语从句对说明解释的名词有所限制，大多是一些表示抽象概念的名词，而定语从句所修饰限定的先行词无限制，即可指人，又可指物。

2.英语定语从句知识点 篇二

首先要了解什么是定语从句。

在复合句中,修饰名词或代词的从句就叫做定语从句。被修饰的名词或代词叫先行词, 具有先行词是定语从句与其他复合句不同的一个重要特点, 而找出先行词恰恰是学生不能完全掌握的一个关键所在。

如:I visited the school where I used to study.

我参观了我曾经学习过的学校。

在这一句子中:the school是先行词,在从句中充当地点状语,where I used to study修饰the school作定语。

其次要掌握关系词的运用。

关系词在定语从句的构成里至关重要, 我们甚至可以说掌握不好关系词,就无法做成定语从句,也无法理解文中带有定语从句部分的意思。定语从句只有两种关系词,一种是关系代词,另一种是关系副词,没有连词。也就是说,定语从句中的所有关系词都有一定意义,并在从句中担任一定成分。

定语从句 的关系代 词主要有 :who,whom,whose,thatwhich,as等。

关系副词主要有:when,where,why等。在定语从句中,关系副词=介词+关系代词。实际上,每个关系副词本身就已经含有一个 介词 ,至于用哪 个具体介 词 ,就得依据 具体情况而定。

下面,我就定语从句及其关系词的运用,结合多年教学实践,对它详加归纳。

一、由关系代词who,whom,whose引导的定语从句

( 一 )who用于代替“表示人的意义 ”的先行词 , 并且在从句中作定语。在现代英语中,也可取代whom在从句中作动词的宾语。

1.who,whom作主语 。

如:She is the woman who cleans the room every day.

她是每天打扫房间的人。 (who作主语)

He is the man whom/who I know.

他是我认识的人。 (whom,who作宾语)

Anyone who plays with fire will get burnt.

玩火者自焚。

2.在there be开 头的句子中 ,先行词是人时 ,用who。

There’s a man who wants to see you.

有个人想见你。

3.在非限制性定语从句中 ,先 行词是人时 ,用who。

Li Ping,who helped me a lot,went abroad last week.

给我很大帮助的李平上周出国了。

4.先 行词是人且有较长定语时 ( 也叫间隔性定语从句 )用who。

I helped the boy in the park last week who lost his way.

上周我帮助了这个在公园里迷路的男孩。

(二 )whom用于代替“表示人的意义”的先行词 ,并且在从句中作动词或介词的宾语。在现代英语中,如果whom在从句中作动词的宾语,与who可通用,但若whom在从句中作介词的宾语,就只能用whom而不能用who了。在口语中或非正式文体中,介词没有提前,则不受这个限制。

如:The girl to whom you are talking is my sister.

The girl whom/who you are talking to is my sister.

正和你说话的那个女孩子是我的妹妹。

同时要注意,whom作介词宾语时,介词可放在whom前,也可放在从句原来的位置,如上例。但在含有介词的动词固定词组中,介词只能放在原来的位置。

如:This is the boy whom you are looking for.

这是你正在寻找的那个男孩。

(三 )whose在从句中作定语 ,既 可代表人 ,又可代表物 ,表达的是“某人的、某物的”之意。

如:Do you know the boy whose father is a doctor?

你认识他的父亲是个医生的那个男孩吗?

whose在代表物时 ,可与of which等结构互换 ,但应注意与冠词的位置。

如:I can see the classroom whose windows are open.

I can see the classroom of which the windows are open.

我可以看见窗户打开的那间教室。

二、由Which引导的定语从句

如:(1)The building which is being built is our new library.

正在建的这座建筑是我们的新图书馆。 (Which作主语)

(2)The factory in which he worked has moved.

他工作过的那家工厂已经搬走了。 (Which作介词的宾语)

(3)This is the book which you want to borrow.

这是你想借的那本书。 (Which作动词的宾语)

三、由that引导的定语从句

that在定语从句中可以指人 ,也可以指物 ,在从句中既可以作主语,又可以作谓语动词的宾语,但不能作介词的宾语,有时可以作表语。在一般情况下,可与Which互换,如上例(1),(3)。

The building that is being built is our new library.

This is the book that you want to borrow.

但在特定情况下,二者绝不能互用。

(一 )只能用which引导定语从句的几种情况 。

1.关系代词前有介词。

如:This is the room in which Lu Xun 1ived.

这是鲁迅住过的房间。

2.先行词本身是that。

如:The clock is that which tells the time.

时钟就是告诉时间的东西。

3.引导非限制性定语从句。

如:I got the letter,which I had been expecting.

我收到了信,这是我一直盼望的。 (which作定语,代替主句中的letter)

She won a gold medal of the 29th 01ympic Games,whichmade us proud.

她获得了第29届奥运会的一枚金牌,这使我们感到自豪。(which作主语 ,代表整个主句 )

(二 )只能用that引导定语从句的几种情况 。

1.先行词是不定代词 all,few,1ittle,much,something,nothing,anything,everything,None,the one等 。

如:I want the one that was bought yesterday.

我想要昨天买的那一个。

Everything that can be done has been done.

一切能被做的都已经做了。

2.先行词被序数词或形容词最高级修饰 。

如:He was the first friend that I made.

他是我交的第一个朋友。

The most interesting book that I have ever read was bought inNanjing.

我读过的最有趣的书是在南京买的。

3.先 行词被 all,any,every,each,few,1ittle,no,some,one of,only等 修饰 。

如:I have returned all the books that you lent me.

我已经归还了你借给我的所有的书。

4.先行词被the only,the very,the same,the last修饰时 。

如:She is the only person that I want to make friends with.

她是我唯一想交的朋友。

This is the very magazine that I want to borrow.

这正是我想借的那本杂志。

此时,还得注意先行词中被one of或被the only修饰的定语从句中的主谓一致,结构一般是:

(1)one of+复数名词+关系代词+复数谓语动词。

(2)the only one of+复数名词+关系代词+单数谓语动词。

如:He was one of the workers that were invited to the party.

他是应邀参加舞会的工人之一。

He was the only one of the workers that was invited to the party.

他是应邀参加舞会的唯一一个工人。

5.先行词既有人又有物。

如 :They remembered things and persons that they stayedabroad.

他们记得他们待在国外时的人和事。

6.句中已有who(为避免重复 )。

如:Who is the gir1 that is standing there?

站在那儿的那个女孩是谁?

7.用 作关系副词 ,修饰表示时间的名词 ,如 :day,time,moment等 ,代 替when。

如:It happened on the day that / when I was on business.

事情发生在我出差的那一天。

8.先行词为数词。

如:Look at these flowers.You can see the two that you gave me.

看看这些花,你可以看见你给我的那两朵。

9.先行词在主句中作表语或关系代词在从句中做表语 。

如:It’s a book that will help you a lot.

这是一本能给你很大帮助的书。

10.先行词是who,what,which。

如:What that is on the table belongs to me?

桌上的那个是我的吗?

11.主 句是there be结 构 ,修饰主语的定语从句 。

如:There is no difficulty that can’t be overcome in the world.

世上没有克服不了的困难。

四、由关系副词when,where,why引导的定语从句

前面提到了关系副词when(表时间),where(表地点),why(表原因 ), 都可以用介词+with来表示 , 在定语从句中充当状语,具体的介词使用依具体情况而定。

如 :He was born on October 1st,1949 when New China wasfounded.

He was born on October 1st,1949 on which New China wasfounded.

他出生于1949年,那年新中国成立。

I will never forget the museum where I met him.

I will never forget the museum in which I met him.

我永远也忘不了我遇见他的那个博物馆。

I know the reason why he was late for class.

I know the reason for which he was late for class.

我知道他上学迟到的原因。

在定语从句中使用关系代词或关系副词, 取决于先行词在从句中的成分,特别是先行词表地点时,判断用关系代词还是关系副词,学生总是有很多困惑。这时,就要根据从句的谓语动词是及物还是不及物的来判断。如果是及物动词,就用关系代词that或which,否则就用where。

如:This is the school where he studied 1ast year.(study是不及物动词)

This is the school which he visited 1ast year.(visit是及物动词)

五、由as引导的定语从句

(一 )as用作关系代词和关系副词引导定语从句 , 并在从句中作主语、宾语、表语或状语,通常构成the same...as;such..as;as many / much...as等结构。

如 :Such students as were mentioned by the teacher weregood students.(as作主语 )

I like the same film as you do.(as作宾语 )

I’ve never seen such a stupid man as he is.(as作表语 )

I’ll do it in the same way as he is。 (as作状语 )

(二 )as引导非限制性定语从句 ,在定语从句中作主语、表语或宾语, 用来代表主句所表运的意思, 可以放在主句前或后,类似插入语。

如 :As we all know,Yao Ming is a famous basketball player(as代表整个句子作宾语 )

As is known to all,Liu Huan is a popular singer.(as代表整个句子作主语)

常用的类 似的插入 语有 :as is said above;as is alreadymentioned above;as is known to all;as it is;as is often the case;ais reported in the newspaper等。

但是,在使用中,还要注意as与which引导的定语从句存在的一些异同。

1.as 和 which 都 可 指 代 主 句 中 的 一 部 分 或 整 个 句 子 的 内容,有时可互换。

如:She passed the exam as we had hoped.

She passed the exam which we had hoped.

2.which引导的非限制性定语从句 , 不能放句首 , 而as可以。as有“正如,就像”之意,而which没有此意。as可用作插入语,which不能。

如:She has to do housework at weekends,which she doesn’like.

As is often the case,he comes to schoo1 early.

=He comes to school early,as is often the case.

3.在 “as+be+过 去分词 ”这一结构中 ,“be”可 以省略 ,which后的“be”不能省略。

The bridge is really wonderful,as shown in the picture.

He liked the picture very much,which was shown in the exhibition.

此外,要注意以下结构的用法差异:

(1)The same as与the same that的区别。

the same as指的是“与… …相似”,不是指同一事物。

the same that指的是“与… …一样”,是同一事物。

如:This is the same bag as I bought yesterday.

这个包与我昨天买的相似。 (相似物)

This is the same bag that I bought yesterday.

这正是我昨天买的那个包。 (同一物)

(2)such...as与such...that的区别。

Such...as引导定语从句 ;

such...that引导结果状语从句。

如:They talked in such simple English as children could understand.

他们用孩子们能听懂的简单英语交谈。

They talked in such simple English that children would understand.

他们用十分简单的英语交谈,连孩子们都能听懂。

六、其他

前面还提到了限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句,究竟这二者有何不同呢?

(一 )限制性定语从句是句中不可缺少的组成部分 ,主句和从句之间不用逗号分开, 没有这种从句会影响主句意思的完整。而非限制性定语从句是对主句先行词的补充说明,没有这种从句不影响主句意思的完整, 需用逗号把主句和从句分开。非限制性定语从句的关系代词用which(指物),who,whom,whose,of which等 ,不能用that。

如:He has a brother,who is a doctor.

他有个兄弟,是个医生。

(二 )限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句区分 ,即从句有无逗号,会引起句意变化。

如:He said nothing that made her angry.

他没有说使她生气的话。

He said nothing,which made her angry.

他什么也没说,这使她很生气。

(三 )非限制性定语从句的关系代词不可省略 ,而限制性定语从句中:

1.若关系代词作表语 ,常 可省略 。

如:She is no longer the girl(that)she was ten years.

她不再是十年前的那个女孩了。

2.在 口语中 ,作动词宾语或介词宾语 (这时介词不能在关系代词前)的关系代词可省。

Have you found the book(that)you want?

你找到了你想要的书了吗?

This is the machine(that)we have talked about.

这是我们谈到过的机器。

3.在 口语中 ,关系副词或其对等结构 : 介词 +which 有 时可省,特别是先行词是the way时,它的关系词有三种形式:

如:I don’t like the way that you talked to her.

I don’t like the way(that)you talked to her.

I don’t like the way in which you talked to her.

(四 )先 行词是专有名词 ,整个句子或世界上独一无二的名词时,一般用非限制性定语从句。

如:The sun,which gives us light and heat,is very big.

3.定语从句易错知识正误例析 篇三

误:Do you still remember the time when you spent on that island with me?

正:Do you still remember the time that/which you spent on the island with me?

析:句中the time虽然表示时间，但在定语从句中不作时间状语而作宾语，因此不可用关系副词when，而应用关系代词that/which引导定语从句。

2. 我真的不知道我们镇上是否有生产自行车的工厂。

误:I really don’t know whether there is a factory where produces bikes in our town.

正:I really don’t know whether there is a factory which/that produces bikes in our town.

析:句中a factory虽然表示地点，但在定语从句中不作地点状语而作主语，因此应用关系代词that或which而不用关系副词where引导定语从句。

3. 我不知道你为什么要接受那个没有道理的理由。

误:I don’t know why you accepted the reason why is not reasonable at all.

正:I don’t know why you accepted the reason which/that is not

reasonable at all.

4. 这是你前天买的英汉字典吗?

误:Is this English-Chinese dictionary you bought the day before yesterday?

正:Is this English-Chinese dictionary the one you bought the day before yesterday?

析:句中you bought the day before yesterday为定语从句，但其缺少先行词，因此应在其前面加上the one。

5. 有这种书的学生比没有这种书的学生能把英语学得更好。

误:The students who have this kind of book can learn English better than the students don’t have this kind of book.

正:The students who have this kind of book can learn English better than the students who don’t have this kind of book.

析:the students为先行词，don’t have this kind of book为定语从句，其间缺少关系代词，因此应在the students后面加who。

6. 这是你曾经用过的最好的字典吗?

误:Is this the best dictionary which you have ever used?

正:Is this the best dictionary that you have ever used?

析:因先行词dictionary前面有最高级形容词the best修饰，因此只能用that不可用which引导定语从句。

7. 这就是我上周三下午和其讲话的那个女孩。

误:This is the girl to who I spoke on the afternoon of last Wednesday.

正:This is the girl to whom I spoke on the afternoon of last Wednesday.

析:whom引导定语从句时通常可用who代替，但是当指人的先行词在定语从句中作介词宾语而介词又提前时不可用who代替whom。

8. 我不知道这是否是你昨天提到的那本书。

误:I don’t know whether this is the book to you referred yesterday.

正:I don’t know whether this is the book to which you referred yesterday.

析:关系代词which引导定语从句时如果在从句中作宾语常可省略，但当指物的先行词在定语从句中作介词宾语而介词又被提前时关系代词which不可省略。

9. 这是你正在找的那本书吗?

误:Is this the book for which you are looking?

正:Is this the book which you are looking for?

析:句中look for为固定搭配，介词for不可被拆开提前。

10. 他拒绝参加她的婚礼，让她感到很失望。

误:He refused to attend her wedding， that disappointed her very much.

正:He refused to attend her wedding， which disappointed her very much.

析:句中先行词为整个主句，因此应用which引导定语从句。

11. 恐怕这是我遇到的最难的试题。

误:I’m afraid this is the most difficult problem which I’ve ever met with.

正:I’m afraid this is the most difficult problem that I’ve ever met with.

析:problem前面有最高级形容词the most difficult修饰，因此应用that而不用which引导定语从句。

12. 他给了我许多书，其中有两本在这儿。

误:He has given me many books， and two of which are here.

正:He has given me many books， two of which are here.

析:数词(不定量数词)+of whom/which引导定语从句时前面不可加but， and等连词。

误:Yesterday he bought some pictures， the most interesting of that is this one.

正:Yesterday he bought some pictures， the most interesting of which is this one.

4.中考英语定语从句复习 篇四

在复合句中修饰或限定名词、代词的从句叫做定语从句。被定语从句修饰或限定的名词、代词叫做先行词;引导定语从句的词叫做引导词。定语从句放在所修饰、限定的词(先行词)之后。

例1：The boy who is reading a story book is my brother.

那个正在读一本故事书的男孩是我的兄弟。

在这句话中，who is reading a story book.是定语从句。它修饰、限定the boy，the boy是先行词，引导定语从句的who是引导词。

定语从句的分类

定语从句可分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。

限制性定语从句一般紧跟在先行词的后面，用来说明先行词的性质、身份、特征等状况，与先行词的关系非常密切，翻译时一般要译到先行词的前面;如果去掉，则整个句子的意思含混不清。

A doctor is a person who looks after peoples health. 医生是照顾人们健康的人。

非限制性定语从句起到补充说明作用，译为汉语时常不译作定语，而是根据句意译为相应的其他形式的从句。它与主句的关系不如限制性定语从句密切，只是对先行词作附加说明，既使去掉，主句的意思依然清楚。非限制性定语从句前往往有逗号与主句隔开，如非限制性定语从句放在句子中间，其前后都需要用逗号与隔开。

Yesterday, Jimmy left for Canada, where he had stayed two years.

昨天，吉米动身到加拿大去了，他曾在那儿呆了两年。

定语从句的引导词

引导定语从句的词称为引导词，它一方面连接先行词和定语从句;别一方面又在定语从句中充当句子成份，如例1中的who，以定语从句中作主语。引导词一般不能按照疑问代词或疑问副词的意义进行翻译，一般情况下应译为“……的”。定语从句的引导词可为分为关系代词和关系副词。

I. 关系代词

关系代词代替的是表示人或物的名词或代词，并且在从句中充当主语、宾语、定语等成份。关系代词在定语从句中作主语时，从句的谓语动词的人称和数要和先行词保持一致。关系代词在从句是作宾语时常可省略。常见的关系代词有：who, whom, whose, that, which等。

1. 当先行词指人时，使用who或whom，如果在从句中作主语，则用who;作宾语，则用whom，但在口语中，常可用who代替whom，也可以省略。Whom 作介词宾语时，可以和介词一起放在先行词和从句之间，也可以把介词放在从句中有关动词的后面。

The boy who can play basketball well is our monitor.

那个篮球打得好的男孩是我们的班长。

The man (whom) we met at the school gate is an English teacher.

我们在学校门口遇到的那个人是一位英语教师。

The woman to whom you talked is Kangkang`s mother. =

The woman (whom) you talked to is Kangkang`s mother

那位与你谈话的妇女是康康的妈妈。

2. 当先行词指物时，使用which，在从句中作主语或宾语。作宾语时常可省略。Which 作介词宾语时，可以和介词一起放在先行词和从句之间，也可以把介词放在从句中有关动词的后面。

3. Whose 引导的定语从句的先行词可以是人也可以是物，whose在从句中作定语。Whose 作介词宾语时，可以和介词一起放在先行词和从句之间，也可以把介词放在从句中有关动词的后面。

The man whose coat is blue is cleaning the room. 那个穿蓝上衣的人在打扫房间。

The book whose cover is red is an English book. 那本红色封面的书是一本英语书。

The boss in whose factory I worked is a very kind person. =

我工作的那个工厂的老板是一个非常和善的人。

4. that引导的定语从句的先行词既可指人也可指物。在从句中作主语或宾语，作宾语时常可省略。that在定语从句中作介词的宾语时，介词一般不放在它的前面。

The new job that I found was to be a teacher. 我新找的工作是当老师。

He is the teacher that we met at the bus stop.

他就是我们昨天在公共汽车站遇到的那位老师。

The village that he lives in is very far away. 他所居住的村子非常远。

关系代词在定语从句中作短语动词的宾语时，此时关系代词前的介词应是短语动词固定搭配中的那一个介词。

This is the house in which Lu Xun once lived. 这是鲁迅曾经住过的房子。

5. 当先行词指人时that一般可以与who 通用;当先行词指物时，that一般可以与which通用。但是当先行词符合下列条件之一时，只能用that.

⑴ 当先行词指物为不定代词时，只用that引导定语从句。

⑷ 当先行词是I, you, he ,they等时(常用于谚语中)，只用who.

He who plays with fire gets burned. 玩火自焚。

II. 关系副词

关系副词可代替的先行词是时间、地点或理由的名词，在从句中作状语。常用关系副词有why, when, where.

1.when 指时间，在定语从句中作时间状语。也可以用“介词+关系代词”代替when, 这时的介词一般为in, at, on等。

Ill never forget the day when (on which) I first come here.

我永远都不会忘记我第一次到这儿的那天。

2.where 指地点，在定语从句中作地点状语。也可以用“介词+关系代词”代替where, 这时的介词一般为表示方位的at, in , on, beside等。

This is the room where (in which) he lived last year. 这是他去年住过的房间。

3.why指原因，在定语从句中作原因状语。也可以用“介词+关系代词”代替why, 这时的介词一般为for。

Thats the reason why (for which) he was late for school. 这就是他上学迟到的原因。

4.that 可用于表示时间、地点、方式、理由的名词后取代when, where, why引导的定语从句，在口语中that常被省略。

This is the place (that / where / in which) he works. 这是他工作的地方。

非限制性定语从句

关系代词和关系副词在非限制性定语从句中的应用与在限制性定语从句中类似。先行词为人时，用who, whom, whose;先行词为物时，用which。 that不用于非限制性定语从句中。

Mary has a brother, who is an engineer. 玛丽有一个兄弟，他是一位工程师。

She has six cousins, three of whom lived to grow up.

她有六个表兄弟，其中三个已经长大成人了。

The children are taught by a 32-year-old Englishman, whose wife is an American.

上周我们游览了杭州，那儿有一个美丽的湖。

We will put off the party until next week, when we wont be so busy.

5.英语语法定语从句讲解 篇五

定语 定语用来限定、修饰名词或代词的，是对名词或代词起修饰、限定作用的词、短语(动词不定式短语、动名词短语和分词短语)或句子，汉语中常用‘……的’表示。主要由形容词担任，此外，名词，代词，数词，分词，副词，不定式以及介词短语也可以来担任，也可以由一个句子来担任。

单词作定语时通常放在它所修饰的词之前，作前置定语。短语和从句作定语时则放在所修饰的词之后，作后置定语。

定语从句是指在一个句子中作定语的句子，定语从句要放在所修饰的词后。

如：1) The man who lives next to us is a policeman.

2) You must do everything that I do.

上面两句中的man和everything是定语从句所修饰的词，叫先行词，定语从句放在先行词的后面。

引导定语从句的词有关系代词that, which, who(宾格whom, 所有格whose)和关系副词where, when、why

关系词常有三个作用：

1、引导定语从句

2、代替先行词

3、在定语从句中担当一个成分

二、关系代词引导的定语从句

1.who指人，在从句中做主语

(1)The boys who are playing football are from Class One.

(2)Yesterday I helped an old man who lost his way.

2. whom指人，在定语从句中充当宾语，常可省略。

(1) Mr. Liu is the person (whom) you talked about.

注意：关系代词whom在口语和非正式语体中常用who代替，可省略。

(2) The man who/whom you met just now is my friend.

3. which指物，在定语从句中做主语或者宾语，做宾语时可省略

(1) Football is a game which is liked by most boys. ( which 在句子中做主语)

1.Charles Smith, who was my former teacher, retired last year.2.My house, which I bought last year, has got a lovely garden.3.The girl about whom they were talking is our monitor.4.The book in which（where）there are many interesting things was written by Li Ming.5.The house whose windows(the windows of which/of which the window)face south belongs to me.6.We are willing to do anything that is good to the people.7.I have told them all(that)I know.8.All that can be done has been done.9.The first book that I read last night was an English novel.10.This is one of the most interesting films that I have ever seen.11.This is the best that can be done now.12.We know nothing about the doctors and the hospitals that you are talking about.13.There are sheep and men that can be seen on the hill.14.This is the only book that can be lent to you.教师引导学生大声朗读这些例句，共同回顾定语从句的如下语法特征：

1.在非限制性定语从句中，先行词和从句间有逗号隔开。that不能引导非限制性定语从句。2.关系词whom和which前可以加介词。

This is the book I am looking for.(由于look for 为固定短语，意为“寻找”，而look和for分开时意思发生变化，所以本句不能改为This is the book for which I am looking.)3.关系词只能用that,不能用which的情况：（1）先行词为不定代词，如All、much、anything、everything、nothing、something、none、the one等。（2）先行词是序数词或被序数词修饰。（3）先行词是形容词最高级或被最高级修饰。（4）如果有两个或两个以上分别表示人和物的先行词时(先行词既有人又有物)，定语从句的关系代词用which和who都不合适，只能用that。（5）如果先行词被the only、the very、the last、the same、any、few、little、no、all、one of、just修饰。

三、which和as的特殊用法

教师通过ppt课件展示如下例句：

1．He was late again, as / which we had expected.=As we had expected, he was late again.2．The street hasn’t been cleared for weeks, which makes it very dirty.（不用as）3.As is known to all(As we know), the earth turns around the sun.教师引导学生大声朗读这些例句，共同回顾定语从句的如下语法特征：

as 和which可以引导非限制性定语从句，指代一句话，翻译为“这一点，这件事”。as和which在从句可做主语和宾语，as引导的此类定语从句既可以放在主句之前，也可以放在主句之后，which引导的此类定语从句只能放在主句之后。as做主语时，通常后面跟有be动词。

四、教师通过ppt出示短文，引导学生通过语篇体会定语从句的用法。

7.英语定语从句汉译动态思维研究 篇七

在英语表达中, 定语从句使用的频率非常高, 它是一个比较重要的语法。然而, 有很多学习者对于定语从句的理解只是停留在表面, 无法进行更深层次的理解。究其原因, 主要是译者对于定语从句的特点没有掌握清楚, 对于源语言和译出语的把握也不是很好。因此, 学习者在对句子进行充分理解的同时, 对于翻译的方法也是必须掌握的。

定语从句使用较为广泛, 几乎每年的专业八级考试中的翻译都会出现定语从句, 而英汉两种语言的表达方式、文化背景、定语成分的差异又比较明显。从功能上看, 汉语的定语对中心语只起修饰和限制的作用, 而英语的定语除了修饰和限制的作用, 还能够对句子进行补充说明, 叙述句子之间各部分的关系;从位置上看, 汉语的定语一般位于前面, 并且定语较短, 而英语的定语除了单词外, 其他的定语一般都是后置。因此, 在具体翻译时, 我们要对其句子成分加以分析, 不能一律译成汉语的定语, 要灵活运用各种翻译的方法, 即做到忠实于原文意思, 又能够符合汉语的语言习惯。

二、英语定语从句的特点

1.修饰或限定等多功能特点。英语定语从句中, 定语的作用除了修饰和限定, 还有补充说明的作用, 它有时可以当作状语来翻译, 如含有原因、时间、目的、结果、让步等成分的句子。

2.右开放型位置特点。从句子的位置上来看, 英语的定语一般后置, 呈右开放型特点。它的定语按照与主句先行词的关系紧密程度进行排列。如在限制性定语从句中, 若与先行词关系紧密的话就不用逗号隔开;而非限制性定语从句中, 定语与先行词的关系不太密切, 通常会使用逗号与先行词隔开。

3 . 套叠式句式特点。套叠式结构是英语的表达优势之一, 凭借这种环环相扣的复杂句式可用来表达丰富繁杂的信息内容。英语定语从句为右开放型, 可以向右扩展成无数个从句, 可以在定语从句中套定语从句, 也可以几个定语从句共同修饰某个先行词, 构成一个套叠式多层面复合结构。这种定语从句的这种特点正是英语主形合、呈“葡萄型”分岔结构的具体体现。

三、英语定语从句汉译的难点

从上述特点可以看出, 英语定语从句是英语表达方式中对信息进行层次化处理的有效手段之一。汉语中没有类似英语中定语从句的结构, 汉语中用来修饰或限定的成分通常是前置的, 不能过长过多, 不能像英语那样随意地不断扩展。而且, 在语言表达方面, 汉语是一种非形态语言, 在组词成句时, 只是按语义和内在逻辑事理关系连结在一起, 呈一种简单铺排组合状, 带有偏意合、呈“竹竿型”散点结构的特点, 也正是这一结构特点导致了英语定语从句在翻译中困难重重。基于英汉两种语言具备各自不同的句式结构特点, 笔者认为, 语序安排及句式的转换无疑成为定语从句汉译过程中的最大难题。当然, 如果定语从句结构较为简短, 语意较为单一, 前置法是一种最便捷也很有效的手段, 但问题的关键是, 多数定语从句结构复杂, 勉强译为前置定语会“的”、“的”不休, 即使能够略去“的”字, 也同样会由于前置成分过多或信息内容过载而显得罗嗦不堪, 甚至会造成难以卒读的翻译腔。这种翻译往往有失汉语简洁流畅、节奏明快的神韵和气势。由此看来, 如何将定语从句所承载信息重新安排位置, 或者说对原文形合结构进行意合重组是定语从句翻译的难点。

四、英语定语从句汉译动态思维研究的方法

1.前置法。

(1) Such adjectives can hardly distort the reality which theyconcealed.这种修辞改变不了它们掩盖的事实。

(2) That remained so even during a period when the Moslemcalls for prayers from the minarets were neither permitted norheard.甚至在既不允许也听不到穆斯林在清真寺尖塔上召唤祈祷者的时期亦是如此。

(3) People who need to lose weight fast are lining up atdrugstores lucky enough to have the impressive new pill calledPatent LEAN.需要快速瘦身的人正在各家药店门前大排长龙, 他们将无比幸运地拥有令人印象深刻的名为Patent LEAN的新药丸。

2.后置法。

(1) We wish to express our satisfaction at this to the SpecialCommittee, whose activities deserve to be encouraged.关于这点, 我们要对特别委员会表示满意, 它的活动应当受到鼓励。

(2) The most ambitious project so far is a transatlantic fiberoptic cable to be built by 1988 that could significantly cut the costof communication between the United States and Europe.迄今为止, 最为雄心勃勃的工程是将于1988年铺成的横贯大西洋的光缆线路, 这条线路将大大减少美国和欧洲之间的通讯费用。

(3) For that, use is generally made of correction motorswhich in the present state of the technique are complicated, veryexpensive and often do not give complete satisfaction.为此, 通常使用的是校正电动机, 但就目前的技术水平而言, 这种电动机结构复杂, 价格昂贵, 且性能往往不尽如人意。

3.复句法。有些定语从句在逻辑含义上相当于让步、条件、原因、结果等状语从句, 这时就应根据句子内部的逻辑关系, 用相应的汉语偏正复句来翻译。如: (1) 让步法:Photographs are taken of stars, the light of which is too faint tobe seen by eyes at all.虽然许多星体的光线非常微弱, 肉眼根本看不见, 但它们的照片还是被拍下来了。

(2) 条件:A country that wishes to become a member ofWTO is to send in its application before a working party is formedby WTO for examination of the specific conditions of the country一个国家, 若想成为世贸组织的成员, 须先呈递申请, 而后由世贸组织成立一个小组对该国的具体条件进行审查。

(3) 原因:We know that a cat, whose eyes can take in manymore rays of light than our eyes, can see clearly in the night.我们知道, 由于猫的眼睛比我们人的眼睛能吸收更多的光线, 所以猫在黑夜也能看得很清楚。

(4) 结果:In 1952, London had a very bad four-days smogin which 4000 bronchitis suffers died.1952年, 伦敦曾连续四天烟雾弥漫, 结果造成4000名支气管患者死亡。

( 5 ) 目的: M a n y u n i v e r s i t i e s h a v e“c l o s e - c i r c u i t”television equipment that will telecast lectures and demonstrationsto hundreds of students in different classrooms.许多大学都配备了“闭路”电视设备, 以便为各个教室千百个学生进行电视讲授和演示。

( 6 ) 时间: C o n g r e s s , w h i c h h a d m e t t o c o n t i n u e i t sprotests to the Crown, found itself raising an selecting GeorgeWashington as its commander in chief.国会先前曾集会决定继续向英皇抗议, 而现在则发展到募集军队并推选乔治·华盛顿为总司令了。

4.融合法。此外, 有些定语从句的翻译也常常采用调整句序或是融合法, 即将原句中的主语和其后的定语从句融合为一个句子。例如: (1) Railroad tunnels which are miles longhave been built through mountains.穿山而建的铁路隧道, 长达数英里。

(2) There are events taking place at this time which dim theirhopes and lessen the prospects.目前正在发生的一些事情, 使他们感到希望渺茫, 前途暗淡。

(3) Let no one nurse the vain hope of exploiting that exampletomorrow, in the negotiations which the question of economictransformation will require.谁也别梦想今后就经济改造问题进行协商之时援例而行。

5.逻辑法。翻译定语从句最后须注意的一点就是, 有时定语从句被别的成分将其与先行词分开了, 这样的句子的翻译方法与前面所讲的没什么不同, 只是翻译的时候必须注意原文的句法结构和逻辑关联。如:A new master will come tomorrowwho will teach you German.教你们德语的新老师明天就到。

6.分译法。The election which has led to your being chosen to preside over this Assembly-a very wise choice indeed-is atribute to your great country, which has contributed to thedevelopment of the history of free nations a tradition of peace thatserves as an example for the legal community that we constitute, a country which has always commanded respect and admirationfrom all corners of the world.

此句是复合句, 由一个主句和五个定语从句构成。其主句是The election…is a tribute to your great country; 第一个定语从句是修饰主语the election的which has led…over thisAssembly; 第二个定语从句是修饰your great country的whichhas contributed to the development of the history of free nations atradition of peace; 第三个定语从句是修饰a tradition of peace的that serves as…legal community;第四个定语从句是修饰the legal community的that we constitute;第五个定语从句是修饰a country (your great country的同位语) 的which has alwayscommanded respect and admiration from all corners of the world.注意第四个定语从句隶属于第三个定语从句的一部分, 第五个定语从句隶属于同位语的一部分。两破折号之间的a verywise choice indeed是插入语, 用来对The election which has ledto your being chosen to preside over this Assembly作进一步的解释。弄清句子的结构后, 我们对句子的内容也就清楚明白了, 翻译时可采用切分法将之译为:

这次选举你为本届大会的主席, 实是极为明智的抉择, 是对你的伟大国家的敬意。贵国对自由国家的历史发展贡献了一种和平传统, 为我们构建法治社会树立了榜样。全世界一贯对贵国表示尊重和敬佩。总的来说, 英语长句的翻译主要依据原句所表达的意思以及句子各部分之间的逻辑关系而定, 采取的方法就是分译, 必要时须与其他技巧综合运用。

定语从句在英语中应用十分广泛, 要达到准确翻译具有很大的难度。能做好定语从句翻译有助于学习者英语综合运用能力的提高。从分析英语句子结构的角度, 根据英语重形合、汉语偏意合的特点, 探析英语定语从句汉译时, 应该对定语从句所承载的信息重新安排位置, 或者说对原文形合结构进行意合重组, 运用恰当的翻译方法, 以符合“忠实”、“通顺”的翻译标准。当然, 译者的汉语语言驾驭能力及英汉语言对比与转换意识也是十分重要。此外, 在不同的情境下, 英语定语从句可以有不同的译文, 我们应该充分根据上下文文体风格要求, 酌情考虑。总之, 英语定语从句汉译的方法与目标就是, 分析英语定语从句的句式结构特点并进行语言对比与转换, 运用适当的翻译方法, 选择恰当的译文形式, 使英语定语从句的翻译更为贴切, 更符合汉语的表达习惯, 这样才能达到更为理想的翻译效果。

摘要：在对英语定语从句进行翻译时, 我们需要对其源语言和译出语都有一定的了解, 这是做好汉译的基本要求, 本文通过分析定语从句的特点, 讨论汉译动态思维的翻译方法, 将其直观呈现在读者面前, 希望能够为相关研究人员或师生提供一些帮助。

8.英语定语从句语序翻译研究 篇八

【关键词】英语定语从句 语序 翻译 方法技巧

尽管英语和汉语两种体系存在着鲜明的差别，但是其本质构成是大致相同的，基本都可以分成主谓、支配、限定和并列四种结构。在翻译过程中，我们可以通过这四种结构之间的相互转换来达到目的。

一、结构相同把英语定语从句仍旧译为定语从句

英语本身的定语从句可以分成限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句两个部分。不论是定语从句或者是非限制定语从句，当其定语部分比较简单的时候，可以直接把英语译为汉语，不改变其结构，使其在汉语上仍然为“……的”结构。下面我们将举出几个例子来帮助读者更好的理解这个条件，如：

1.The building which stands near the train station is a supermarket.

译文：位于火车站附近的那座大楼是一家超市.

2.Space and oceans are the new world which scientists are trying to explore.

译文：太空和海洋是科学家们努力探索的新领域。

我们从上面的例句能较为清楚的发现，在上面英语和汉语的对应译法中，并未改变其定语的结构，仍旧使其用定语形式清楚完整的表达了句子本身的意思。

二、形式相同把英语定语从句译为单独的一句

在英语句子长度比较长的时候，或者在句意上同先行词的关系不是很密切的时候，或者在译成定语不能满足汉语的表达习惯时候，都可以考虑把英语定语从句译为单独的一句。在从句中，which和as代表整句时，通常采用这种译法，译为“这”、“那”。如：

1.The Painter lived more than a decade in Europe，where he could in Close contact with other cubists.

译文：画家在欧洲住了十多年，在那儿他可以跟其他立体派艺术家保持密切的联系.

2.Although he lacks experience，he has enterprise and creativity，which are decisive in achieving success in the area.

译文：他虽然经验不足，但很有进取心和创造力，而这正是在这一领域获得成功的关键。

从上面我们可以清楚的看到，如果仍旧采用“……的”结构，对于句子来说就会显得非常冗长，不符合要求译为汉语的“信、达、雅”的表示方法。而且我们能看到，句子后面的部分仍未单独完整的一个句子，未对前一句造成影响。

三、把英语定语从句和先行词合成为一句

在汉语中常出现“有……人做……事”的句型结构与英语中对应“there be + 先行词 + 定语从句”的句型。这就是把英语定语从句和先行词合为一句的情况。如：

1.In our factory，there are many people who are much interested in the new invention.

译文：在我们工厂里，许多人对这项新发明很感兴趣。

2.There is a man downstairs who wants to see you.

译文：楼下有人要见你。

从译文中，我们可以看出这种译法使得句子更为简洁有力，是比较符合汉语习惯的用法。

四、把英语定语从句译为状语从句

有些英语句子在形式上比较像定语从句，但是其本身的意义更符合状语从句的构造，在这个时候，我们就把它译为状语从句。仅以原因状语和结果状语为例如：

1.原因状语。He showed no further wish for conversation with Mrs.Smith，who was now more than usually insolent and disagreeable.

译文：他似乎不愿再和史密斯太太讲话，因为她现在异常无礼，令人厌烦。

2.He did not remember his father who died when he was three years old.

译文：他不记得他父亲了，因为他在三岁时父亲就去世了。

五、结语

本文通过对于精选例句的分析和总结，指出了英语定语从句四种不同的翻译方法。当定语从句结构简单时，可以将英语的定语从句仍然译成定语从句。当句式比较复杂时，也可以选择把定语从句翻译成单独的一句或者把定语从句和先行词合成为一句，甚至考虑译成状语从句。通过这些方法，希望对于英语定语从句语序的翻译起到帮助作用。
