带介词的定语从句

  • 介词+关系代词(which, whom)引导的定语从句。例如:

At the meeting, he heard many things of which he had hitherto been unaware.(of which=of many things)他在会上听到了许多前所未闻的事情。

Life is a flower, of which love is the honey.(Hugo)人生是一朵花,而爱是花之蜜。

Behavior is a mirror in which every one shows his image.(Goethe)(in which=in a mirror)行为是一面镜子,每个人都把自己的形象映在镜里。

Reinhard paid no further attention to the geography lessons, and instead he composed a long poem, in which he compared himself to a young eagle.莱因哈特不再听地理课了,而是写了一首长诗,在诗中把自己比作一只小鹰。

She marveled at the sense Robert Kincaid had of his ways coming to a close and the ease with which he accepted it.罗伯特·金凯意识到自己的生活方式正在逝去,还能泰然处之,这让她感到不可思议。

He carried his gear into a room containing two table lamps, one of which had a burned-out bulb.他把行李装备带进一个房间,里面有两个台灯,其中一个灯泡烧坏了。

And immediately he began to feel the old clumsiness he always suffered around women to whom he was even faintly attracted.他立刻又开始有在女人面前总会有的那种手足无措的窘态,即使那女人对他只是有些微吸引力。

She has two sisters, both of whom are doctors.她有两个姐妹都是医生。

The planet on which we live is called Earth.(on which=on the planet)我们居住的星球叫地球。

Is this the book about which you have talked so much?(about which=about the book)这就是你们谈论这么多的那本书吗?

We learned a great deal from the scientist with whom we had worked for two weeks.(with whom=with the scientist)我们从与我们一同工作了两星期的那个科学家那里学到了许多东西。

The man to whom you spoke is Jordan's cousin.(to whom=to the man)和你讲话的那个人是乔丹的表兄弟。

  • 关系代词在从句中用作介词宾语时,介词放在关系代词之前(这时关系代词不能省略,而且要用宾格);但是,也可以位于从句中的原来位置上,即位于从句中谓语动词之后,这时关系代词往往省略。例如,上述最后四例可以改写成:

The planet we live on is called Earth.

Is this the book you have talked so much about?

We learned a great deal from the scientist we had worked for two weeks with.

The man you spoke to is Jordan's cousin.

又如:

The world we live in is like a big round ball.我们居住的地球像一个大的圆球。

You are not the first I have said no to.你不是我所拒绝的第一人。

在下面三种情况下,不得把介词提到关系代词的前面:

1.关系代词that作介词宾语时,介词不能放在that之前,只能放在原来位置上。例如:

The picture that I am looking at is drawn by a student.我正在看的这幅画是一个大学生画的。

The man that I glanced at just now has a familiar face.刚才我看了一眼的那个人面孔很熟悉。

This is the college that my sister works at.这是我的姐妹工作的学院。

2.“动词+介词”的固定词组不能拆开,如look for, depend upon, look after等。例如:

He is a good friend whom you can depend upon.他是你可以信赖的一位好朋友。

This is the very pen I have been looking for.【省略that】这就是我一直在寻找的那支钢笔。

The teacher we are now speaking of will give us a lesson in grammar.【省略whom】 我们现在说到的老师将会给我们上一堂语法课。

3.如果先行词由两个限制性定语从句所修饰,(两个)从句中的谓语动词的搭配用法不同,不能用同一介词,则介词应放在原来的位置上,同时省略关系代词。例如:

Basketball is a game I am interested in.篮球是感兴趣的一种游戏。

  • 有时,可以见到由“介词+关系副词where”引导的定语从句。例如:

He went up on the roof, from where he could see the whole village.他上了屋顶,从那儿可以看到整个村庄。
