同位语从句
◆◆◆辨认同位语从句
在复合句中充当同位语的名词性从句称为同位语从句。一个名词(或其它形式)对另一个名词或代词进行修饰,限定或说明,这个名词(或其它形式)就是同位语。同位语与被它限定的词的格要一致,并常常紧挨在一起。
1. 名词作同位语
Mr. Wang, my child’s teacher, will be visiting us on Tuesday.王先生,我孩子的老师,星期二要来看我们。
2. 短语作同位语
I, the oldest girl in the family, always had to care for the other children.我,作为家里最大的女孩,老得照料家中的其他孩子。
3. 直接引语作同位语
But now the question comes to their minds, “Did she die young because she was
a clone?”但是现在他们不得不思考这样的问题:“多利早死是因为它是一只克隆羊吗?”
4. 句子作同位语
The girls were surprised at the fact that ocean ships can sail up the Great lakes.巨大的海轮可以开到五大湖,让表姐妹俩感到吃惊。
◆◆◆同位语从句用法
一、同位语从句一般跟在某些名词后面,用以说明该名词表示的具体内容。
I heard the news that our team had won.我听到了我们队获胜的消息。
①可以跟同位语从句的抽象名词通常有news,idea,fact,promise,question,doubt,thought,hope,message,suggestion,words(消息),possibility等。(承诺信息主意是事实;疑问想法与问题;希望消息建议是潜力。)
I’ve come from Mr. Wang with a message that he won’t be able to see you this afternoon.我从王先生那里来,他让我告诉你他今天下午不能来看你了。
②在某些名词表“建议,命令,要求等”(如demand, wish, suggestion, resolution等)后面的同位语从句要用虚拟语气(即should+动词原形;should可省)
There was a suggestion that Brown should be dropped from the team. 有一项建议是布朗应该离队。
③同位语从句前名词的数:同位语从句前的名词通常用单数形式,并且往往带有限定词(word除外)加以修饰。
Where did you get the idea that I could not come?你在哪儿听说我不能来?
二、英语中引导同位语从句的词通有连词that,whether,连接代词what,who。连接副词how, when, where等。(注:if, which 不能引导同位语从句。)
1. 连词that引导同位语从句(注:引导同位语从句的that不能省略)
The idea that you can do this work well without thinking is quite wrong.你认为不动脑筋就能做好这件工作的想法是完全错误的。(作idea的同位语)
【注意】引导同位语从句的连词that通常不省略,但在非正式文体中也可以省去。
He grabbed his suitcase and gave the impression he was boarding the Tokyo plane. 他拿起了手提箱,给人的印象是他要登上飞往东京的飞机了。
2. 连词whether引导同位语从句(注:if不能引导同位语从句)
The question whether we should call in a specialist was answered by the family doctor. 我们是否请专家由家庭医生来定。
He must answer the question whether he agrees to it or not. 他必须回答他是否同意这样一个问题。
3. 其它引导词引导的同位语从句
A、连接代词what, who, whom, whose引导同位语从句
1).I have no idea what size shoes she wears.我不知道她穿几号的鞋。(what作定语)
2).The question who will take his place is still not clear.(who作主语)
B、连接副词when, where, how, why 引导同位语从句
We haven’t yet settled the question where we are going to spend our summer vacation.到哪儿去度暑假,这个问题我们还没有决定。
l have no idea When he will be back.我不知道他什么时候回来。
My question how I shall get in touch with him has not been answered.
三、有时同位语从句可以不紧跟在说明的名词后面,而被别的词隔开。在语法上叫做分隔式同位语从句。
The thought came to him that maybe the enemy had fled the city.
他突然想起可能敌人已经逃出城了。
Several years later,word came that Napoleon himself was coming to inspect them.几年以后,有消息传来说拿破仑要亲自视察他们。
◆◆◆定语从句与同位语从句的区别
1.意义的不同
同位语从句是用于说明所修饰名词的具体内容的,它与被修饰词语通常可以划等号;而定语从句是限制所修饰名词的,它的作用是将所修饰的名词与其他类似的东西区别开来:We are glad at the news that he will come. 听到他要来这个消息我们很高兴。(news 的内容就是that he will come,故that引导的是同位语从句)
We are glad at the news that he told us. 听到他告诉我们的这个消息我们很高兴。(that 从句是限制the news的内容的,即我们高兴只是因为他告诉的这个news而不是其他的news,故that从句为定语从句)
2.被修饰词语的区别
A.定语从句的先行词是名词或代词;而同位语从句的先行词只能是名词,而且仅限于idea,plan,fact,theory,promise,hope,news,doubt,truth,information,suggestion,question, thought,belief,conclusion等少数名词。
例如:
①The boy who is playing football is my classmate.
②Those who work hard will succeed.
③The fact that he had not said anything surprised everybody.
④The fact that you are talking about is important.
在①句中,划线部分是定语从句,其先行词是名词 boy,它不能用作同位语从句的先行词。
在②句中,划线部分也是定语从句,其先行词是代词those,代词不能用作同位语从句的先行词。
