4. 语法要点: 本单元学习非限定性定语从句

以下几点请注意:

(1)先行词和引导词之间用逗号。 如果这个定语从句处在另一个句子中间,那么其前后都要用逗号。例如:

The project, which lasted four years, cost $ 1 billion.

 (2) 非限定性定语从句不用that引导,可用which,whose who,whom where,when。

 (3) 非限定性定语从句的作用与其说是“限定”,倒不如说是一种“补充说明”。请注意以下句子的译文:

 Tom's father, who is an engineer, stayed in Egypt for 4 years.

汤姆的父亲是个工程师,他在埃及呆了4年。

 但不能译成:汤姆的当工程师的父亲在埃及呆了4年。

 (4) “限定”和“非限定”有时在意义上区别很大:

 All the books there, which have pictures in them, were written by Lu Xun.

那里的书都是鲁迅写的,书里面都有插图。

 All the books there that have pictures in them were written by Lu Xun.

那里凡是有插图的书都是鲁迅写的。
