关于代词that和which的用法区别:
在定语从句中,当先行词是指物时,关系代词which可以由that代替,如果which不在介词之后,也可省略。
在日常用语或口语中,which不作主语时可以省略。
例:
Did you take away the book(which/that)I showed you yesterday?
你把我昨天给你看的那本书拿走了吗?
The hotel at which we stayed was both cheap and comfortable.
我们住的那家旅馆既便宜又舒适。
This is certainly not the book for which I paid./This is certainly not the book I paid for.
这肯定不是我付钱买的那本书。
但两者之间还有一定的区别,必须予以足够的重视。
一.that仅用在限制性定语从句中,通常不用逗号隔开,作宾语或介词宾语时,that 可以省去。
例:
The letter that came this morning is from my father.
今晨收到的那封信是我父亲寄来的。
The watch(that)you gave me keeps perfect time.
你给我的那块手表走得准极了。

二.which既可用在限制性定语从句中,作宾语或介词宾语时,which可以省去,也可用在非限制性定语从句中。
例:
Did you see the letter that/which came today?

This is the one of which I'm speaking./This is the one I'm speaking of.
这就是我说的那一个。

三.当先行词是不定代词或被它们修饰时,要用that,不用which,作宾语时可以省去。
例:

四.当先行词被形容词的最高级形式所修饰时,要用that, 不用which,作宾语时可以省去。
例:
This is the most expensive watch(that)I've ever owned.
这是我有过的最昂贵的一块表。
This is the best article that has ever been written on this subject.
迄今为止在有关这个题目的文章中,这一篇是最好的。
五.当先行词被序数词或the very, the only, the last修饰时,要用that,不用which,作宾语时可以省去。
例:

这是我头一次听她唱歌。

六.当先行词被the same修饰时,用that表示同一件物品,用as表示相类似的一件物品,不能用which。
例:
This is the same one as/that you had before.
这跟你以前的一样/这就是你以前的那一个。

七.当先行词既指人又指物时,只能用that,不能用which。

我喜欢你前几天提到的那些作家和他们的作品。

例:China is no longer the country that it was.

九.为避免与which重复使用时,要用that。
