关系代词 which 的使用

一、在定语从句中, which 用来指物,可作主语和宾语。如:

The factory which produces cars is over there.

生产汽车的那家工厂就在那边。

The factory which I visited last year is very famous.

我去年参观的那家工厂很有名。

注意:关系代词 that 也可以指物,但下列情况中只能用 which

1. 当关系代词前有介词时。如:

The company in which he works is big.

他工作的那家公司很大。

2. 当先行词中有 that 时。如:

That cake which Mother made is for my birthday.

妈妈做的那块蛋糕是为我过生日用的。

that . ,而不能用

3. 引导非限制性定语从句时。如:

The result of the experiment was very good, which pleased us.

实验结果很好,这令我们十分高兴。

二、 which 引导非限制性定语从句时,可以用来代表主句所说的整个情况或主句的

某一部分内容。如:

The little monkeys wanted to catch the moon in the well, which, however,

was found impossible.

那些小猴子想在井中捞月,但这是不可能的。

He passed the exam, which surprised us a lot.

他通过了考试,这使我们十分惊奇。

注意: as 引导非限制性定语从句时,常与 which 互换,但也有用法上的差别。

1. as 引导的非限制性定语从句可以放在主句前,而 which 不能。如:

As is known to everyone, the moon travels round the earth.

众所周知,月亮绕着地球转。

2. 当关系代词作非谓语动词的主语时,只能用 which .如:

She left without a word, which made her boss very angry.

她一句话也没说就走了,这使她的老板很生气。

三、 which 的所有格有 of which 和 whose 两种形式,两者使用时也有差别。

1. of which 修饰的名词需带定冠词 the ; whose 修饰的名词不带定冠词 the .

2. of which 的位置较灵活,可放在被修饰名词的前面或后面; whose 只能放在被

修饰名词的前面。

3. of which 只能指物; whose 可指物,也可指人。如:

The desk whose legs are broken is mine.

断了脚的那张桌子是我的。

I know the boy whose name is Tom.

我认识那个名叫汤母的男孩。
