非限制性定语从句

性定语从句的五个“不能”
一、 非限制性定语从句通常不能用that引导。如:
1. I like the book, which was bought yesterday. 我喜欢这本书,这是昨天买的。
2. I like the book which / that was bought yesterday. 我喜欢昨天买的那本书。
二、 非限制性定语从句不能用why引导。要用for which代替why。如:
1. I had told them the reason, for which I didn't attend the meeting. 我已经把理由告诉了他们,为此我没有去开会。
2. I had told them the reason why I didn't attend the meeting. 我告诉了他们我不去开会的理由。(限制性定语从句“the reason why...”是常见搭配。)
三、 非限制性定语从句置于句首时,不能用which引导。关系代词as引导非限制性定语从句位置比较灵活,可以放主句前,也可以放主句后。如:
1. As I expected, he didn't believe me. 正如我所预料的,他不相信我。
2. She heard a terrible noise, which brought her heart into her mouth. 她听到一个可怕的声音,这让她把心都提到嗓子眼了。
四、 非限制性定语从句由“介词+关系代词”引导时,其中的关系代词不能用as。如:
1. He bought the car for more than $20,000, with which his father was angry. 他花两万多美元买了这辆车,他父亲对此很生气。
2. I finished my work ahead of time, after which I sat some time reading the newspaper. 我提前干完了我的活,随后我坐着看了一会儿报纸。
五、 在非限制性定语从句中,指人的关系代词作宾语时,只能用宾格whom; 不能用who替换,也不能省略。如:
1. Do you know Tom, whom we talked about? 你认识汤姆吗? 我们谈到过他。
2. This book, which you can get at any bookshop, will give you all the information you need. 这本书会给你提供所有你需要的资料,它在任何一家书店都能买到。(非限制性定语从句中引导词在从句中作宾语,无论指人还是指物都不能省略。)
as与which引导非限制性定语从句的区别
这类定语从句只能由 which 或 as 引导。两者之间的区别在于:
1. which 引导的定语从句只能位于主句后,但as引导的从句可位于主句前、中、后。如:
David, as you know, is a photograopher. 戴维是个摄影师,你是知道的。(不可用which)
Li Ming is late, as is often the case. 李明迟到了,这事是经常发生的。(不可用which)
2. as在定语从句中作主语时,从句谓语通常要有be或别的系动词,但which不受此限制。如:
Li Ming was late, which (=and this) made Mr. Zhang very angry. 李明迟到了,这件事使张先生非常生气。(不可用as)
3. as 引导的定语从句只表示一个众所周知或意

料之中的事,但 which 不受此限制。如:
He married her, which was unexpected. 他和她结婚了,这是出乎意料的。(不可用as)
4. as有“正如”之意,而which则意为“这(件事,一点)”,可用and this/that/it来代替。
5. as多用于固定搭配中:as is often the case(这是常有的事),as was expected(不出所料),as often happens(正如经常发生的那样),as is known to all(众所周知),as has been said before(如上所述),as is mentioned above(正如上面所提到的)等。
注:which 代表整个句子,还可用于in which case, at which point, on which occasion等。如:I may have to work late, in which case I’ll telephone you. 我可能得晚点下班,那样我会给你打电话的。
