帶介詞的定語從句
- 介詞+關係代詞（which, whom）引導的定語從句。例如：
At the meeting, he heard many things of which he had hitherto been unaware.（of which=of many things）他在會上聽到了許多前所未聞的事情。
Life is a flower, of which love is the honey.（Hugo）人生是一朵花，而愛是花之蜜。
Behavior is a mirror in which every one shows his image.（Goethe）（in which=in a mirror）行為是一面鏡子，每個人都把自己的形象映在鏡裡。
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．萊因哈特不再聽地理課了，而是寫了一首長詩，在詩中把自己比作一隻小鷹。
She marveled at the sense Robert Kincaid had of his ways coming to a close and the ease with which he accepted it．羅伯特·金凱意識到自己的生活方式正在逝去，還能泰然處之，這讓她感到不可思議。
He carried his gear into a room containing two table lamps, one of which had a burned-out bulb．他把行李裝備帶進一個房間，裡面有兩個檯燈，其中一個燈泡燒壞了。
And immediately he began to feel the old clumsiness he always suffered around women to whom he was even faintly attracted．他立刻又開始有在女人面前總會有的那種手足無措的窘態，即使那女人對他只是有些微吸引力。
She has two sisters, both of whom are doctors．她有兩個姐妹都是醫生。
The planet on which we live is called Earth.（on which=on the planet）我們居住的星球叫地球。
Is this the book about which you have talked so much?（about which=about the book）這就是你們談論這麼多的那本書嗎？
We learned a great deal from the scientist with whom we had worked for two weeks.（with whom=with the scientist）我們從與我們一同工作了兩星期的那個科學家那裡學到了許多東西。
The man to whom you spoke is Jordan's cousin.（to whom=to the man）和你講話的那個人是喬丹的表兄弟。
- 關係代詞在從句中用作介詞賓語時，介詞放在關係代詞之前（這時關係代詞不能省略，而且要用賓格）；但是，也可以位於從句中的原來位置上，即位於從句中謂語動詞之後，這時關係代詞往往省略。例如，上述最後四例可以改寫成：
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．我們居住的地球像一個大的圓球。
You are not the first I have said no to．你不是我所拒絕的第一人。
在下面三種情況下，不得把介詞提到關係代詞的前面：
1．關係代詞that作介詞賓語時，介詞不能放在that之前，只能放在原來位置上。例如：
The picture that I am looking at is drawn by a student．我正在看的這幅畫是一個大學生畫的。
The man that I glanced at just now has a familiar face．剛才我看了一眼的那個人面孔很熟悉。
This is the college that my sister works at．這是我的姐妹工作的學院。
2.“動詞+介詞”的固定詞組不能拆開，如look for, depend upon, look after等。例如：
He is a good friend whom you can depend upon．他是你可以信賴的一位好朋友。
This is the very pen I have been looking for.【省略that】這就是我一直在尋找的那支鋼筆。
The teacher we are now speaking of will give us a lesson in grammar.【省略whom】 我們現在說到的老師將會給我們上一堂語法課。
3．如果先行詞由兩個限制性定語從句所修飾，（兩個）從句中的謂語動詞的搭配用法不同，不能用同一介詞，則介詞應放在原來的位置上，同時省略關係代詞。例如：
Basketball is a game I am interested in．籃球是感興趣的一種遊戲。
- 有時，可以見到由“介詞+關係副詞where”引導的定語從句。例如：
He went up on the roof, from where he could see the whole village.他上了屋頂，從那兒可以看到整個村莊。
