2019高考英语语法专题汇总定语从句

which 指物在从句中作主语，宾语或表语（作宾语时可以省略）

who 指人在从句中作主语，宾语或表语

2、as 的用法

注意：the same…as 表示同一类，不同一个

the same…that 表示同一个

（2）as与which的区别

a、位置不同

as可放在主句后，主句前或主句中间；which只能放在主句后。

b、as起连接作用，表达说话人的观点、看法，并指出主句内容的根据或出处，意为“正如，正像”。

Which相当于并列句，可以用and this来代替，意为“这一点，这件事’”。

注意：as常用于下列结构：as we know/ as is known to all, as we all can see, as has been said before/above,

as might be excepted, as is often the case, 一般不能用which代替as。

c、在从句中作主语时，which既可作系动词be的主语也可作实义动词的主语，而as只可作系动词be的主语。

4、当先行词是序数词或被序数词修饰时。

5、当先行词是数词时.

6、当先行词既指人又指物时。

7、如有两个定语从句，其中一个关系代词已用which，另一个关系代词则宜用 that。

8、主句是There be结构,修饰其主语的定语从句宜用that 作关系代词。

9、被修饰成分为表语,或者关系代词本身是定语从句的表语时，该关系代词宜用that。

10、先行词为what，关系代词用that。

11、有时为了避免重复而使用that引导定语从句。

三、只用which不用that的情况

1、当介词放在关系代词之前时。

2、在非限制性定语从句中。

3、当关系代词指整个主句的概念时。

四、只用who不用that的情况

1、当先行词是one, ones,anyone或those时。

2、there be 结构中。

3、当先行词是人，后面有较长修饰语时。

4、为了避免重复或引起歧义。

5、当先行词是I,you,he,they等时（常用于谚语中）。

2019高考英语争分夺秒15天：10.定语从句

2019高考英语争分夺秒15天：10.定语从句 第一部分:基础知识 〔一〕、定语从句概述 定语可以由形容词，代词，数词，名词，不定式，介词短语来充当。 如果是一个句子担任定语，那么这个句子就叫做定语从句，又可称为形容 词性从句。 定语从句通常修饰某一名词或代词，被定语从句修饰的这一名词或代词叫先行词，它位于定语从句之前，定语从句在先行词后面，应尽量紧跟 先行词。定语从句的作用即在于对先行词进行限定说明或补充说明。〔二〕、定语从句的引导词。 定语从句的引导词分为两类，关系代词 〔that,which,who,whom,whose〕和关系副词〔when,where,why〕， 引导词在先行词和定语从句之间，既起连接作用，即连接先行词和定语从句，更重要的是，它又在定语从句中作一个成分。 〔三〕、关系代词 1.that指人，物，在从句中作主语，宾语，表语。HeisthesingerthatImetyesterday. 2.which指物，在从句中作主语，宾语，在非限定定语从句中充当定语，或 者代替前句 Thefilmwhichwesawlastnightwasmoving. 3.who指人，在从句中作主语，宾语。 ThemanwhoyoujusttalkedtoisTom. 4.whom指人，在从句中作宾语。Thatistheprofessorwhomyouwanttoknow. 5.whose指人，物，在从句中作定语，相当于先行词+’s,后接一名词。Iknowtheboywhoseparentsaredead. 【注】：关系代词在从句中作宾语时可以省略。 〔四〕、关系副词 关系副词在从句中作状语，有时相当于介词+which，其中which指代先行词不可以指示整个句子。 1，when指时间，在从句中作时间状语，相当于at/on/in/duringwhich.

2019高考英语必备：定语从句的翻译技巧

2019高考英语必备：定语从句的翻译技巧 英语文章中较多地使用长句, 而汉语中短句居多。尤其在科技英语文 章中, 长句的理解就更加令人头疼。英译汉时, 因为思维方式和语言 表达上存有的文化差异, 如果总是按汉语的习惯原封不动地翻译原文 长句, 则译文必然生硬拗口、难以通畅。而英语长句之所以难以处理, 主要就是因为英语中的短语和从句都能够充当句子的不同成分, 而短 语往往不短, 且从句中又包含有从句。众所周知, 在各类从句中最复杂、最常见的一类从句是定语从句( at t ribut ive clause) 。这里,本人结合多年的翻译工作实践, 就定语从句在科技英语长难句中的译 法做些探讨。 1、长句的把握 在翻译一个长句时, 首先要把握好两点：一是对原文的准确理解, 二是恰如其分的表达。理解阶段既要能拟出全句的主要轮廓、辨请主 从结构、领会全句的要旨, 又要能找出句与句之间的从属关系, 理清 每句的意思。而表达阶段则可先将每个单句逐一翻译, 再将译出的句 子实行调整、组合, 对译文作最后的加工润色。要想完美地处理长句 是需要通过长期实践、灵活应用各种方法才能做到的。但就理解阶段 来说, 关键是针对从句的理解 2、定语从句的处理 定语从句之所以被认为是汉译中最难处理的一种从句, 原因有二：一方面, 汉语中作为修饰成分的定语, 习惯上一般放在所修饰词的前面, 而英语的定语从句一般总在所修饰的词之后, 向所修饰词的后面 扩展, 且往往形式多样、结构较长; 另一方面, 汉语的定语一般只起 着修饰和限制的作用, 而英语的定语从句则作用广泛, 除修饰和限制 作用以外, 还具有类似状语从句( 原因、结果、目的、条件、让步) 的功能。所以, 英汉定语在位置、语序、措辞及结构上的差异常常会 给理解和翻译造成困难, 翻译时就必须抓住本质, 恰当地实行处理。
