人称代词是指直接指代人或者事物的代词。在英语和汉语中都有三种人称代词即:
第一人称(我;我们),第二人称(你;你们),第三人称(他、她、它;他们、她们、它们)。根据人称代词在句中所充当的成分可以分为主格人称代词、宾格人称代词。另外,人称代词有单复数之分,特别是第二人称单复数写法都是一致的,实际翻译时应当注意。
1. 人称代词的用法。
人称代词在句中可以用作主语(用主格,如I, you, he, she, we, they, 等)和宾语(用宾格,如me, you, him, her, us, them等):
He loves her, but she hates him. 他爱她,但她却讨厌他。
注:
(1) 在口语中,当人称代词用作表语、用于than, as 之后或用于强调句中被强调时,可以用宾语:
“Who is it?” “It’s me.” “是谁呀?”“是我。”
He sings better than me. 他比我唱得好。
He is as tall as her. 他和她一样高。
It’s me who did it. 这是我干的。
但是,若than, as 后的人称代词后跟有动词,则必须用主格:
He sings better than I do. / He is as tall as she is.
(2) 单独使用的人称代词通常用宾格:
“I’m tired.” “Me too.” “我累了。”“我也累了。”
“Who wants this?” “Me.” “谁要这个?”“我要。”
(3) 有时用主格或宾格会导致意思的变化:
I like you better than he. 我比他更喜欢你。为I like you better than he likes you.之略。
I like you better than him. 我喜欢你胜过喜欢他。为I like you better than he likes him.之略。
2. 人称代词的排序:
(1) 人称代词的排列顺序为:单数人称代词通常按“二三一”排列,即you, he and I;复数人称代词通常按“一二三”排列,即 we, you and they:
You, he and I are of the same age. 你,他和我都是同一年龄。
We , you and they are all good citizens. 我们,你们和他们都是好公民。
但若是用于承担责任或错误等场合,则可把第一人称 I 置于其他人称代词之前:
I and Tom are to blame. 我和汤姆该受批评。
比较:Tom and I hope to go there. 汤姆和我想去那儿。
但是,you and I 是固定结构,语序通常不宜颠倒。
(2) 在通常情况下,人称代词在句子中出现在它所代替的名词之后,即先出现名词,再出现相应的代词。但是,在书面语中,有时也可出现代词,后出现代词所代替的名词:
As soon as it had hopped off, the plane picked up speed. 飞机刚一起飞,就加了速。(比较:As soon as the plane had hopped off, it picked up speed.)
3. 人称代词后跟名词同位语。有些人称代词后有时可跟同位语:
These small desks are for us students. 这些小课桌是给我们学生的。
We girls often go to the movies together. 我们女孩子常一起去看电影。
He asked you boys to be quiet. 他要你们男孩子安静些。
表示所有关系的代词叫做物主代词(Possessive Pronouns),也叫人称代词的所有格。物主代词分为形容词性物主代词和名词性物主代词两种。物主代词有人称和数的变化。第三人称单数的物主代词还有性别的变化。
1. 物主代词的用法。
物主代词分形容词性物主代词(my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their)和名词性物主代词(mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, yours, theirs)。形容词性物主代词在句只用作定语;名词性物主代词则不能用作定语,但可以用作主语、宾语、表语、连用of作定语:
His son is taller than hers. 他的儿子比她的儿子高。
Her son is a friend of ours. 她的儿子是我们的朋友。
Ours is a great country. 我们的国家是一个伟大的国家
This is your pen. Mine is in the box. 这是你的铅笔,我的在铅笔盒里。
注:可以说 a friend of mine (ours, yours, hers, his, theirs),但是不能说 a friend of me (us, you, her, him, theirs),但是“名词+of it”有时可用来代替“its+名词”,如 its price 也可说成 the price of it。
2. 物主代词与own 连用。
为了强调,有时可在物主代词后加上own一词:
Mind your own business. 别管闲事。
I saw it with my own eyes. 那是我亲眼看到的。
有可用 of one’s own 置于名词后作定语:
I hope to have a room of my own. / I hope to have my own house. 我希望有自己的房子。
3. 使用物主代词注意点和易错点:
(1) 要注意英语与汉语使用物主代词的差异。
汉语说“我校”,说成英语应是my school,而不能是 I school;汉语说“他妈”,说成英语应是his mother,而不能是 he mother;同样地,汉语说“你先生”,说成英语应是your husband,而不能是 you husband。另外,有些在英语中必用的物主代词在汉语中往往无需表达,如:
听到这个消息,他摇了摇头。
误:Hearing the news he shook head.
正:Hearing the news he shook his head.
汉语通常只说“摇头”,不说“摇某人的头”,而英语则说 shake one’s head。
(2) 有时按汉语习惯似乎应用物主代词,而英语却要用人称代词:
这个学期谁教我们的英语?
误:Who will teach our English this term?
正:Who will teach us English this term?
English 作为一个表示语言的名词,其前不能用物主代词,除非它表示的是使用英语的水平或能力,如可说 My English is poor. 我的英语(水平)不行。类似地,不能说 He teaches my physics,但可以说 My physics is good。
(3) 不要受相似结构和短语的影响而用错物主代词。
如lose heart 与 lose one’s heart,两者仅差一个物主代词,意思截然不同:前者意为“灰心”、“泄气”;后者意为“爱上”、“钟情于”;又如 have…on one's mind(为…担忧,把…挂在心上)与keep[bear]…in mind(记住…,把…记在心里),两者结构相似,但一个用物主代词,一个不用物主代词。
反身代词是一种表示反射或强调的代词。它的基本含义是:通过反身代词指代主语,使施动者把动作在形式上反射到施动者自己。因此,反身代词与它所指代的名词或代词形成互指关系,在人称、性质、数上保持一致。比如:我自己、你自己、他自己、我们自己等等。这就是反身代词。
表示反射或强调的代词叫做反身代词。反身代词是由第一人称、第二人称形容词性物主代词或第三人称人称代词宾格形式,词尾加self或selves组成。反身代词可译为“本人”、“本身”,为加强语气,也常译为“亲自”、“自己”。
1. 反身代词的基本形式。
反身代词是 oneself根据所指词的人称、性别、单复数等的变化可以有 myself, himself, herself, yourself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves 等形式。
2. oneself与himself。
当one指人时,其相应的反身代词通常用oneself, 在美国英语中也可用himself:
One should not praise oneself [himself]. 一个人不应该自吹自擂。
3. 反身代词的句法功能:
(1) 用作同位语(加强被修饰词的语气,紧放在被修饰名词后, 或句末):
The box itself is not so heavy. 箱子本身并不重。
You yourself said so. / You said so yourself. 你自己是这样说的。
(2) 用作宾语(动词或介词的宾语):
Take good care of yourself. 照顾好自己。
She could not make herself understood. 她不能使别人听懂她的话。
(3) 用作表语:
The poor boy was myself. 那个可怜的孩子就是我自己。
The ones who really want it are ourselves. 真正想要它的是我们自己。
有时用于 be, feel, seem, look 等后作表语表示身体或精神处于正常状态:
I'm not quite myself these days. 我近来身体不大舒服。
I'll be myself again in no time. 我过一会儿就会好的。
(4) 用作主语。
在现代英语中,反身代词一般不能独立用作主语,但是它却可以借助 and, or, nor 等连词与其他名词一起构成并列主语(且位于并列主语的后部),以及用于某些特殊结构(如as...as等):
My brother and myself went there yesterday. 昨天我兄弟和我一起去了那儿。
Jim's sister and himself get up at six every day. 吉姆的妹妹和他每天6点起床。
He was as anxious as myself. 他和我一样担心。
指示代词(demonstrative pronoun)是表示指示概念的代词,即用来指示或标识人或事物的代词。指示代词与定冠词和人称代词一样,都具有指定的含义,用来起指示作用,或用来代替前面已提到过的名词。
1. 指示代词的用法。
指示代词(this, that, these, those)在句中可作主语、宾语、表语、定语:
This is yours and that is mine. 这是你的,那是我的。
I want this book, not that book. 我要这本书,不是那本书。
I like these and he likes those. 我喜欢这些,他喜欢那些。
These computers are cheap. 这些电脑便宜些。
What I want to say is this. 我想说的就是这点。
注:指示代词用作主语和定语时,可指人或物;用作宾语和表语时,只指物。如This is my father. this 在句中作作主语,可以指人,但是在Do you know this? 中,this作宾语,此句只能理解为“你知道这个情况吗?”不能理解为“你认识这个人吗?”
2. 表替代的that 与 those。
有时为了避免重复,可用 that 和 those 代替前面提到的名词:
The population of China is much larger that that of Japan. 中国人口比日本人口多得多。(that = the population)
His views are close to those of the Socialist Party. 他的观点接近社会党的观点。(those = the views)
3. this 与 that用法比较
(1) 用来回指上文提到的事情时,可用this 或 that,但是若要指下文叙述的事情,通常要用 this:
She married Jim, and this [that] surprised me. 她嫁给了吉姆,这使我感到很吃惊。
I want to know this: Is he healthy? 我想知道这一点:他是否很健康。
注:回指上文的 that 在译成汉语时,通常却译为“这”:
That’s where you are wrong. 这就是你不对的地方。
(2) 在打电话时,通常用 this 指自己,用 that 指对方:
Hello. This is Jim. Is that John? 喂,我是吉姆,你是约翰吗?
但在美国英语中指对方时也可用 this。
(3) 除用作代词外,this 和that 都可用作副词,与形容词或副词连用,其义为“这么”、“那么”(=so):
It's about this (that) high. 大约这(那)么高。
Is it this hot every day? 每天都有这么热吗?
4. this 的特殊用法。注意以下各句中this 的用法:
He will be in Paris this day next week. 下个星期的今天他将在巴黎了。
He will come here this day next month. 他将在下个月的今天来这儿。
比较:He got married ten years ago today. 他是10年前的今天结婚的。
不定代词,是英语语法术语,在句中可以作主语、宾语、表语、定语和状语。不定代词是不指明代替任何特定名词或形容词的代词。
1. 不定代词概说。
英语的不定代词有 all, each, both, either, neither, one, none, little, few, many, much, other, another, some, any, no, few, little, both, enough, every 等,以及由 some, any, no 和 every 构成的合成代词(即somebody, anyone, nothing 等)。
在这些不定代词中,多数都能作主语、宾语、表语或定语,但是代词 none 以及由 some, any, no 和 every 构成的合成代词只能作主语、宾语或表语,不能作定语,而 no 和 every 则只用作定语。
2. 指两者和三者的不定代词。
有些不定代词用于指两者(如both, either, neither),有的不定代词用于指三者(如all, any, none, every),注意不要弄混:
Both of my parents are doctors. 我的父母都是医生。
All of the students are interested in it. 所有的学生对此都很感兴趣。
There are trees on any side of the square. 广场的每一边都种有树。
He has two sons, neither of whom is rich. 他有两个儿子,都不富有。
He has three sons, none of whom is rich. 他有三个儿子,都不富有。
注:each 可用于两者、三者或三者以上,而 every 只用于三者或三者以上,因此用于两者时只能用 each,不能用 every。如不能说 There are trees on every side of the road.
3. 复合不定代词的用法特点。
复合不定代词包括 something, somebody, someone, anything, anybody, anyone, nothing, nobody, no one, everything, everybody, everyone 等。它们在句中可用作主语、宾语或表语,但不能用作定语。something, someone 等和 anything, anyone等的区别与 some 和 any 的区别一样,前者一般用于肯定句,后者一般用于否定句、疑问句或条件句(参见 any & some)。
具体使用时应注意以下几点:
(1) 复合不定代词受定语修饰时,定语应放在它们后面:
There is nothing wrong with the radio. 这收音机没有毛病。
Have you seen anyone [anybody] famous? 你见过名人吗?
(2) 指人的复合不定代词若用作主语,其谓语动词一般用单数,相应的人称代词和物主代词也用单数 he, him, his (不一定指男性)。但在非正式文体中常用复数代词 they, them, their:
Everyone knows this, doesn't he [don't they]? 人人都知道这一点,不是吗?
If anybody [anyone] comes, ask him [them] to wait. 要是有人来,让他等着。
(3) 指事物的复合不定代词若用作主语,谓语动词只能用单数,相应的人称代词也只能用 it,而不用 they:
Everything is ready, isn't it? 一切都准备好了,是吗?
(4) anyone, everyone 等只能指人,不能指物,且其后一般不接of 短语。若是指物或后接 of 短语,可用 any one, every one (分开写):
any one of the boys (books) 孩子们(书)当中的任何一个(本)
every one of the students (schools) 每一个学生(一所学校)
4. 是any not 还是 not any。
按英语习惯,any 以及含有any的复合不定代词用于否定句时,它只能出现在否定词之后,而不能在否定词之前:
误:Any one doesn't know how to do it.
正:No one knows how to do it. 任何人都不知道如何做它。
误:Anybody [Anyone] cannot do it.
正:Nobody [No one] can do it. 这事谁也干不了。
误:Anything cannot prevent me from going.
正:Nothing can prevent me from going. 什么也不能阻挡我去。
5. 不定代词与部分否定。
不定代词all, both, every 等与 not 连用时构成部分否定;若 要表示完全否定,则需换用 none, neither, no one等。
比较:
All of the students like the novel. 所有这些学生都喜欢这本小说。
Not all of the students like the novel. 并不是所有这些学生都喜欢这本小说。
All of the students don’t like the novel. 并不是所有这些学生都喜欢这本小说。
None of the students like the novel. 这些学生当中没有一个喜欢这本小说。
6. all, both, each 等用作同位语。
若用作主语同位语,主语可以是名词或代词;若用作宾语等其他成分的同位语,则宾语等成分必须是人称代词,而不能是名词:
We have all read it. 我们都读过他。(all 修饰的主语是代词)
The villages have all been destroyed. 村庄都被毁了。(all 修饰的主语是名词)
They told us all to wait there. 他叫我们都在那儿等。(all 修饰的宾语是代词)
但不能说:They told the men all to wait there. (all 修饰的宾语是名词不是代词)
7. so little 与 such little的区别。
用so little还是such little取决于little的意思:若表示数量方面的“少”,则用so little;若表示形状体积的“小”,则用such little:
He has so little time for reading. 他读书的时间少得可怜。
I've never seen such little boxes. 我从未见过那样小的盒子。
8. some 与 any的用法区别。
一般说来,some 用于肯定句中,any 用于否定句和疑问句中。但是,在表示请求、邀请或征求意见的句子中,通常要用 some 而不用any:
Would you like some cake? 吃点蛋糕吗?
Why not buy some bread? 为什么不买些面包呢?
Shall I get some chalk for you? 要我帮你拿些粉笔来吗?
注:
any 有时也用于肯定句中,此时表示“任何”:
Any colour will do. 任何颜色都行。
Come any day you like. 随便哪天来都可以。
9. many 与 much的用法区别。
两者都表示“许多”,但 many 修饰或代替可数名词(复数),与 few(少数)相对;而 much 用来修饰或代替不可数名词(单数),与little(少量)相对。在口语中两者主要用于非肯定句中:
Did you see many people there? 你在那儿看见许多人了吗?
We don't have much time. 我们没有许多时间。
在肯定句中,一般用 a lot of, lots of, plenty of 等代之。但在正式文体中有时也用于肯定句中;另外,若用作主语或主语的定语,或其前有 how, too, as, so, a good, a great 等修饰,也可用于肯定句中:
Many of us left early. 我们有许多人离开得很早。
Much work has been done. 许多工作都已经做了。
You've given me too much. 你已给我太多了。
Take as many (much) as you want. 你要多少拿多少。
I asked her a great many questions. 我问了她许多问题。
10. few, a few 与 little, a little的用法区别。
(1) few和a few 后接可数名词的复数形式。few 表示数量很少或几乎没有,强调“少”,含有否定意义;a few 表示数量虽然少但毕竟还有,强调“有”,含有肯定意义:
It is very difficult, and few people understand it. 它很难,没有几个人能懂。
It is very difficult, but a few people understand it. 他虽难,但是有些人懂。
(2) little 和 a little 之后接不可数名词,其区别跟 few 和 a few 之间的区别相似:
Unfortunately, I had little money on me. 很不巧,我身上没带什么钱。
Fortunately, I had a little money on me. 幸好我身上带着一点钱。
11. other, the other, another与others的用法区别:
这些不定代词不仅在含义上有单复数之分,而且在用法上有泛指(无the)和特指(有the)之别。其用法区别可归纳如下:
(1) 指单数时,若泛指用another,若特指用 the other:
Give me another (one). 另外给我一个。
Shut the other eye, please. 请把另一只眼睛也闭上。
(2) 指复数时,若泛指用 other(后接复数名词),若特指用the other(后接复数名词):
There are other ways of doing it. 做这事还有其他的办法。
Where have the other students gone? 其他学生都到哪里去了?
(3) others永远表示复数意义(且其后不能再接名词)。其用法大致相当于“other+复数名词”,同样地 the others 大致相当于“the other+复数名词”:
Other people [Others] may not think that way. 别的人可能不这样想。
He is cleverer than the others [the other students] in her class. 他比班上其他学生聪明。
(4) another一般只能表单数,且其后接名词也只能接单数名词。但是若其后有数词或 few 修饰时,则也可接复数名词:
We need another few chairs. 我们还需要几把椅子。
In another two weeks it'll be finished. 再过两个星期就可做完了。
(5) 与 some 对比使用时,用 others(此时与 some 同义):
Some say yes, and others say no. 有人说对,有人说不对。
不定代词是高考的常考考点,有的不定代词考题出得比较灵活,不能死套规则,要注意结合语境来理解:
(1) “Is ____ here?” “No, Bob and Tim have asked for leave.”
A. anybody B. everybody C. somebody D. nobody
若只是从表面来看,填空句是个疑问句,可能会误选A。但其实此题最佳答案应选B,因为下文的答句说“只有Bob和Tim请假了”,这说明问句是在查人数,故用 Is everybody here? (大家都到齐了吗?)
(2) I agree with most of what you said, but I don't agree with _____.
A. everything B. anything C. something D. nothing
此句若从表面看,有可能误选B,因为填空句为否定句。但实际上最佳答案为A,因为上文说“我同意他说的大部分内容”,这与下文的 but I don’t agree with everything(但并不是同意他说的所有内容)完全相符。
(3) “Do you have _____ at home now, Mary?” “No, we still have to get some fruit and tea.”
A. something B. anything C. everything D. nothing
答案选C,句意为“玛丽,现在家里东西都准备齐了吗?”“还没有,我们还要买些水果和茶。”
(4) “If you want a necklace, I’ll buy one for you at once.” “Oh, no. A necklace is not _____ that I need most.
A. anything B. something C. nothing D. everything
此题容易误选A,机械地认为:something 用于肯定句,anything 用于否定句或疑问句。但是,此题的最佳答案是B,something 在此的意思不是“某种东西”,而是指“那种东西”或“这种东西”,即心中最想要的那种东西(相当于 the thing)。
相互代词(reciprocal pronoun)就是表示相互关系的代词。它与它所指代的名词或代词是一种互指关系,因此它们是复数或者二者以上。英语中的相互代词只有两个,即each other和one another。
在正式文体中多用each other指两者,用one another 指两者以上。我们应当把它们当作复合代词看待,即使在分开使用时,它们也是相互关联的
1. 相互代词的形式与用法。
英语的相互代词只有each other和one another,它们在句中通常只用作宾语:
We should help each other. 我们应该互相帮助。
They respect one another. 他们互相尊重(对方)。
The sea and the sky seem to melt into each other. 大海和蓝天似乎融为一体。
2. 使用相互代词注意点:
(1) 相互代词在句中通常只用作宾语,不可用作主语,所以以相互代词为宾语的句子不能变为被动语态。
(2) 不要将相互代词误认为是副词,将其用作状语,如可说 talk to each other,但不能说 talk each other。
(3) 相互代词可以有所有格形式:
The students borrowed each other's notes. 学生们互相借笔记。
They looked into each other's eyes for a silent moment. 他们默默地对视了一会儿。
(4) 有时可分开用:
We each know what the other thinks. 我们都知道对方的想法。
Each tried to persuade the other to stay at home. 每个人都设法想说服对方留在家里。
(5) 有人认为,each other用于两者,one another用于三者,但在现代英语中两者常可换用(即均可用于两者或三者)。
1. 疑问代词的用法。
疑问代词(who, whom, whose, which, what等)在句中可用作主语、表语、宾语、定语等:
Who is your English teacher? 你们的英语老师是谁?
Whose is this umbrella? 这伞是谁的?
Whose umbrella is this? 这是谁的伞?
What question did he ask? 他问了什么问题?
Which do you prefer, tea or coffee? 茶和咖啡,你喜欢那样?
注:who 和 whom 只用作主语、宾语和表语,不用作定语,what, which, whose 则既可用作主语、宾语和表语,也可用作定语。
2. 两组疑问代词的用法比较
(1) who 与 whom:前者为主格,用作主语,后者为宾格,用作宾格:
Who spoke at the meeting? 谁在会上发言了?
Whom are you talking about? 你们在谈论谁?
但是,当用作宾语的 whom 位于句首时,通常可用who 代之:
Who(m) is the letter from? 这信是谁寄来的?
若是紧跟在介词之后用作宾语,则只能用 whom。
(2) what, which 与 who:
① 若后接名词(即用作限定词),只用which和what,不能用who:
Which / What train did you come on? 你是坐哪次火车来的?
What和 which 的区别是:当选择的范围较小或比较明确时,多用 which;当选择的范围较较大或不明确时,多用 what:
Which color do you like, red, black or white? 红色、黑色和白色,你喜欢哪种?
What color is your car? 你的汽车是什么颜色的?
但是,若指人,即使选择的范围不明确,也多用 which:
Which [What] writers do you like? 你喜欢哪些作家?
② 若其后不接名词(即用作代词),三者均可用,which和what的用法区别可参见上面的分析。至于who,它一般只用来指人(用作代词的 which 不用于指人),不管选择范围大还是小、明确还是不明确均可用:
Who won –– Tom or Mike? 谁赢了,是汤姆还是迈克?
Who is your favorite poet? 你最喜欢的诗人是谁?
当选择范围比较明确且用作宾语时,who也可用which或which one代之:
Who [Which /Which one] do you like better, your father or your mother? 你更喜欢谁,父亲还是母亲?
③ 由于what和who的选择范围可以很大或不明确,所以其后可以跟 else,表示其他的人(或事物),但却通常不跟表示特定范围的of 短语;而 which 的选择范围相对比较小或明确,所以其后一般不接 else,却常与表特定范围的of短语连用:
Who (What) else did you see there? 你在那儿还看到了别人的什么人(什么东西)?
Which of the three girls is the oldest? 这三个女孩中哪个年纪最大?
④ 另外,比较以下两句:
"Who is he?" 他是谁?(who 指姓名、关系等)
What is he? 他是干什么的?(what 指职业、地位等)
3. 两类易混句型的区别。请先看以下两句:
What do you think he wants? 你认为他想要什么?
Do you know what he wants? 你知道他想要什么吗?
上面第一句为特殊疑问句,第二句为一般疑问句,它们不能倒过来说成Do you think what he wants? What do you know he wants? 其原则区别是:可以用 yes 或 no 回答者,用一般疑问句的形式(疑问词放在句中,即主句之后),适合这类句型的主句动词通常有 know, hear, ask, tell 等;不能用 yes 或 no 回答者,用特殊疑问句的形式(疑问词放在句首),适合这类句型的主句动词通常有 think, believe, suppose, guess 等:
Where do you suppose he has gone? 你认为他去什么地方了?
Did you ask why he had left so soon? 你问过他为什么那么快就离开了吗?
4. 两个疑问代词同用的情况。请看以下实例:
Where and when were you born? 你出生在何时何地?
When and how did he go there? 他是什么时候、怎么去那儿的?
"Where is it?" "Where is what?" “它在哪儿?”“什么在哪儿?”
关系代词指的是代表先行词,同时在从句中作一定的句子成分。关系代词有主格,宾格和属格之分,并有指人与指物之分。关系代词用来引导定语从句。
语法是语言的组织规律,任何人在使用语言时,不管他是否学过语法,但都必须合乎语法。另外,总结语法本身的规律也能加深我们对语言的理解,让我们能够真正熟练地运用语言。
1. 关系代词的用法。
主要的关系代词有 that, who, whom, whose, which, as 等。其中who, whom 只用于指人,which, as 只用于指事物,whose, that 既可于指人也可用于指物。关系代词在定语从句主要用于主语、宾语(可以省略)、表语或定语:
He is the man who [that] lives next door. 他就是就是住在隔壁的那个人。
How do you like the photo that [which] I took? 你觉得我拍的这张照片怎么样?
This is the same watch as I lost. 这块表跟我丢失的那块一样。
I want to find someone with whom I could discuss music. 我想找个能和我谈音乐的人。
She received an invitation from her boss, which came as a surprise. 她收到了老板的邀请,这是她意想不到的。
2. that 与 which的用法区别。
两者都可指物,常可互换。其区别主要在于:
(1) 引导非限制性定语从句时,通常要用which:
She received an invitation from her boss, which came as a surprise. 她收到了老板的邀请,这是她意想不到的。
(2) 直接放在介词后作宾语时,通常要用which:
The tool with which he is working is called a hammer. 他干活用的那个工具叫做锤子。
(3) 当先行词是下列不定代词或被它们修饰时much, little, none, all, few, every(thing), any(thing), no(thing) 等时,通常用that:
There was little that the enemy could do but surrender. 敌人无法,只有投降了。
All [Everything] that can be done must be done. 凡能做的事都必须做。
(4) 当先行词有the very, the only, the same 等修饰时,通常用that:
This is the only example that I know. 我知道的例子只有这一个。
Those are the very words that he used. 那是他的原话。
(5) 当先行词有形容词最高级或序数词(包括last, next等)等修饰时,通常用that:
This is the best dictionary that I've ever used. 这是我用过的最好的词典。
The first thing that you should do is to work out a plan. 你应该做的第一件事是订个计划。
(6) 当关系代词在定语从句中用作表语时,通常用that:
China is not the country (that) it was. 中国已不是过去的中国了。
(7) 当先行词是一个既指人又指物的并列词组时,通常用that:
They talked about the persons and things that most impressed them. 他们谈论了使他们印象最深的人和事。
(8) 当要避免重复时:
Which is the course that we are to take? 我们选哪门课程?
3. that与who的用法区别。
(1) 两者均可指人,有时可互换:
All that [who] heard him were delighted. 所有听了他讲话的人都很高兴。
Have you met anybody that [who] has been to Paris? 你遇见过到过巴黎的人吗?
He is the only one among us that [who] knows Russian.他是我们中间唯一懂俄语的人。
(2) 但是在下列情况,通常要用 that:
①当先行词是一个既指人又指物的并列词组时:
I made a speech on the men and things that I had seen abroad. 我就我在国外所见到的人和事作了报告。
②当先行词是who时(为避免重复):
Who was it that won the World Cup in 1982? 谁赢得了1982年的世界杯?
③当关系代词在定语从句中作表语时(可省略):
Tom is not the boy (that) he was. 汤姆这孩子已不是以前那个样子了。
4. as与which的用法区别
(1) 引导限制性定语从句时,在such, as, the same后只能用as,其他情况用 which:
I never heard such stories as he tells. 我从未听过他讲那样的故事。
It's the same story as I heard yesterday. 这故事跟我昨天听到的一样。
This is the photo which shows my house. 这张照片拍的是我的住宅。
(2) 引导非限制性定语从句时,有时两者可互换:
I live a long way from work, as [which] you know. 我住得离工作单位很远,这你是知道的。
(3) 但在,在以下情况引导非限制性定语从句时,两者不可换用:
① 当从句位于主句前面时,只用 as:
As is known to everybody, the moon travels round the earth once every month. 月球每月绕地球转一周,这是每个人都清楚的。
② as 引导的非限制性定语从句应与主句在意义上和谐一致,which无此限制:
He went abroad, as [which] was expected. 他出国了,这是大家预料到的。
He went abroad, which was unexpected. 他出国了,这让大家感到很意外。(不用as)
③ as 引导非限制性定语从句时,先行词通常不能是主句中某个具体的词,而应是整个句子、整个短语或某个短语推断出来的概念,而which 则无此限制:
The river, which flows through London, is called the Thames. 这条流经伦敦的河叫泰晤士河。(不用as)
④ 当as 引导非限制性定语从句作主语时,其谓语通常应是连系动词,而不宜是其他动词,而 which则无此限制:
She has married again, as [which] seemed natural. 她又结婚了,这似乎很自常。
She has married again, which delighted us. 她又结婚了,这使我们很高兴。(不用as)
5. who与whom的用法区别。
两者均只用于人,从理论上说,who 为主格,whom为宾格:
Where's the girl who sells the tickets? 卖票的女孩在哪里?
The author whom you criticized in your view has written a letter in reply. 你在评论中批评的那个作者已写了一封回信。
但实际上,除非在正式文体中,宾格关系代词 whom 往往省略不用,或用who或that代之:
The man (that, who, whom) you met just now is called Jim. 你刚遇见的那个人叫吉姆。
不过,在以下几种情况值得注意:
(1) 直接跟在介词后面作宾语时,只能用 whom,而且不能省略:
She brought with her three friends, none of whom I had ever met before. 她带了3个朋友来,我以前都没见过。
(2) 引导非限制性定语从句且作宾语时,who 和 whom均可用,但以用 whom 为佳,此时也不能省略:
This is Jack, who [whom] you haven't met before. 这是杰克,你以前没见过。
疑问代词在引起从句时,都称为连接代词,包括who,whom, whose, what, which, whoever, whomever, whichever, whatever,一共九个,即除了whose后不能加“-ever”后缀,其余都行。
1. 连接代词的用法。
连接代词主要包括who, whom, what, which, whose, whoever, whatever, whichever, whosever 等,它们在句中可用作主语、宾语、表语、定语等,可以引导主语从句、宾语从句和表语从句:
I don't know who he is. 我不知道他是谁。
What he says sounds reasonable. 他说的话听起来很有道理。
The question is who(m) we should trust. 问题是我们该信任谁。
I'll take whoever wants to go. 谁想去我就带谁去。
Take whichever seat you like? 你喜欢坐哪个座位就坐哪个?
I will just say whatever comes into my mind. 我想到什么就说什么。
注:who, whom, whoever 等不用于名词前作定语。
2. what 的两种用法。
请看以下两个句子:
I didn't know what he wanted. 我不知道他想要什么。
I gave her what she wanted. 我给了她想要的一切。
上面第一句中的 what 表示“什么”,带有疑问的意味;第二句中的 what 表示“所…的一切事或东西”,其意义上大致相当于 that (those) which, the thing (things) that, anything that, all that, as much as等,
又如:
What [=That which] you say is quite true. 你说的完全是事实。
He saves what [= all that] he earns. 他赚多少,积蓄多少。
Call it what [= anything that]you please. 你喜欢叫它什么就叫它什么。
这样用的 what 有时还可后接一个名词:
He gave me what money [= all the money that] he had about him. 他把身边带有的钱全给了我。
What friends [=All the friends that] he has are out of the country. 他所有的朋友都在国外。
3. whatever, whoever, whichever用法说明。
主要用于引导主语从句和宾语从句:
He does whatever she asks him to do. 她要他做什么,他就做什么。
Whoever breaks the rules will be punished. 谁违反这些规则都将受到处罚。
I'll give the ticket to whoever wants it. 请想要这票,我就把它给谁。
Whichever team gains the most points wins. 哪个队得分最多,哪个队就赢。
注:其中的 ever 主要用于加强语气,含有“一切”、“任何”、“无论”之义。使用这类词时,注意不要按汉语习惯用错句子结构:
任何人(谁)先来都可以得到一张票。
误:Anyone comes first can get a ticket. / Who comes first can get a ticket.
正:Anyone who comes first can get a ticket./ Whoever comes first can get a ticket.
1. 有时可用来指人,但主要限于指性别不明的婴儿或指身份不明的人。
如:
They got a baby and it was very lovely. 他们生了个孩子,很可爱。
Someone is knocking at the door. It must be Jim. 有人在敲门,一定是吉姆。
下面这样的句子也用 it 指人。如:
A:Who is it? 是谁呀?
B:It’s me, Mary. 是我玛丽呀。
2. 用于强调句型:It is (was) …that (who) …。
如:
He bought a shirt at this shop yesterday. 昨天他在这家商店买了一件衬衫。
下面4句分别对上句主语、宾语、地点状语、时间状语的强调:
It was he who bought a shirt at this shop yesterday.
It was a shirt that he bought at this shop yesterday.
It was at this shop that he bought a shirt yesterday.
It was yesterday that he bought a shirt at this shop.
3. 用作形式主语或形式宾语:
(1) 当不定式、动名词、从句等结构用作主语时,为了避免“头重脚轻”,往往用it作形式主语,而把真正的主语放在句子末尾。如:
It’s no use talking about it now. 现在谈这事没有用。
It’s important to know your own limitations. 知道自己的局限性是重要的。
It is said that thirteen is an unlucky number. 据说13是一个不吉利的数字。
(2) 当不定式、动名词、从句等结构用作宾语时,若其后跟有宾语补足语,则往往使用 it作形式宾语,而把真正主语放在句末。如:
I find it easy enough to get on with Pam. 我觉得与帕姆相处很容易。
I took it for granted that you would stay with us. 我肯定你会住在我们这里的。
4. 某些及物动词(如 like, love, enjoy, prefer, hate, appreciate等)之后若没有出现宾语,而直接跟 if/when 引导的状语从句,要在从句前使用代词 it。如:
I like [love] it when you sing. 我喜欢听你唱歌。
I dislike it when you whistle. 我不爱听你吹口哨。
I hate it when Jane cuts up in class. 我讨厌简课堂上插嘴。
I’d appreciate it if you could drop in tonight. 你今晚来一趟我会很感激。
I should prefer it if you did not go there alone. 我倒希望你不要一个人去那里。
5. 在某些特殊表达中的使用。如:
It seems that John dislikes his boss. 约翰似乎不喜欢他的老板。
It happened that the harvest was bad that year. 恰好那年收成不好。
It doesn’t matter if you can’t find her. 如果你找不到她,也没有关系。
