定语从句之专题二:that引导定语从句(系统讲解内在原理)

 湖南衡阳县人 2017-07-30

英语中的定语从句是难点,也是考试热点。

本文的原标题是:定语从句的引导词that的代替和省略。

因为引导词对先行词的复指(重复指定),所以,定语从句的引导词有时可以代替或省略。(注意,因为名从和状从没有先行词,所以,名从和状从的引导词不能代替或省略。)。如,

●The school which/that/Ø he once studied in is very famous.(由于which复指先行词the school,所以,有时可以代替为that,也可以省略。)

下文中,1/2/3/4讲代替,5/6讲that省略。

定语从句之专题二:that引导定语从句(系统讲解内在原理)


1.that本身是为了代替who(m)/which而产生的。前边讲过,关系代词一般是由疑问代词变来的。但是,that并不是疑问代词,为何也能引导定语从句呢?这是因为,that本身就是为了代替who(m)/which而产生的。

例句(that代替who(m)/which)

●The man ____you met just now is my old friend.

(填who(m)/that/∅。who/that指人。作宾语时可以省略。)

●The man ____is walking on the playground is my old friend.

(填who/that。who/that指人。作主语时不能省略。)

●Take the book ____is lying on the table.

(填which/that。which/that指物。)

●Do you know the things and persons____they are talking about?

(先行词既有人又有物时,用that。因为that可以指人/物,用一个就可以代替。)


2. that/who(m)/which用法比较表,见下表,

下边举例说明。

注:⑤的例句见第四节.六.6。⑥的例句见第五节.一。


3.that 不但可以代替关系代词(who(m)/which),也可以代替关系副词(when/where/why)。

①一般地,关系代词who(m)/which可以被that代替或省略。

例句(关系代词被that代替,或者省略。)

●He is the man (whom/that/∅) I saw yesterday. 他就是我昨天见的那个人。

●The package (which/that/∅) you are carrying is about to come unwrapped.你拿的包快散了。

②当先行词为the time/place/reason等明确表示时间/地点/原因的词时,关系副词when/where/why可以被that代替或省略。(这是因为,此时的代替或省略,不会产生歧义。)

例句(关系副词被that代替,或者省略。)

●I’ll never forget the day when/that/∅ we met.我永远也忘不了我们见面的那天。

●That is the place where/that/∅ we went before.那就是我们以前去过的地方。

●That’s the reason why/that/∅ I took it.那就是我买它的原因。


4.用that代替who(m)/which,可以防止引导词重复。何谓“重复”?不是单词的重复,而是词头的重复。(that的词头是th-,与who(m)/which的词头是wh-。)

①前句用了“th-”,后句再用“th-”,叫重复;所以,如果前句用了“th-”,后句就不宜用“th-”,而用who(m)/which。②前句用了“wh-”,后句再用“wh-”,也叫重复。所以,如果前句用了“wh-”,后句就不宜用“wh-”,而用that。(一般地,这条规则是软规则,不是硬规则。也就是说,尽量不要重复,但是即使重复了也不算错。)

例句(如果前有疑问词who(m)/which/what等,引导词宜用that。)

●Who is the person that supports your family?

●Which is the bus that you will take?

●They secretly built up a small factory, which produced things that could cause pollution.

例句(如果先行词是that/those时,引导词宜用who(m)/which。)

●People all like those who(常用)/that(不常用) have good manners.

●What’s that which flashed in the sky just now?


5.什么情况下可以省略that?

分两类情况,that(连词)引导的名词性从句和that(代词)引导的定语从句。如下表,

定语从句之专题二:that引导定语从句(系统讲解内在原理)

助记:中学阶段,认为只有第②种情况(加底纹)可以省略,其余三种情况统统认为不能省略即可。

链接:that(代词)作宾语时,有些情况下不能省略。如,①直接跟在介词后作宾语时不能省略。参看第四节.三.介词+whom/which。②在非限制性定语从句中不能省略。参看第五节。

例句(省略连词that)下列例句中的括号表示可以省略。

●It is a pity (that) you don’t know Russian.(主语从句时省略that)

●I hear (that) he has join the club.(宾语从句时省略that)

●I’m afraid (that) I’ve made a mistake.(宾语从句时省略that)

●The reason is (that) you don’t trust her.(表语从句时省略that)

例句(省略代词that)

●The man (who(m)/that) we met yesterday used to be my schoolmaster.(作宾语时省略that)

●The novel (which/that) he reads is borrowed from the library.(省略代词which/that)

●He is no longer the lazy boy (that) he was.他不再是以前那个懒孩子了。(作表语时省略that)


6.which/whom作介词的宾语时,可以代替为that吗?可以省略吗?介词与which/whom,靠得紧则不能换不能省,靠得不紧则能换能省。详细地说,①介词与which/whom在一起时,which/whom既不能替换为that/who也不能省略。②介词与which/whom分开时(介词置于句尾),which/whom既可以替换为that/who也可以省略。

This is the pen with which/(that×)/(∅×)I wrote the letter.

This is the pen which/that/∅I wrote the letter with.

This is the hero of whom/(who×)/(that×)/(∅×) we are proud.

This is the hero whom/who/that/∅we are proud of.

■定语从句的引导词的“超级大转盘”。

正是由于省略与代替,所以定语从句的引导词显得灵活多变。

如,她到的那天是星期四。(下边的说法都对,①最正式,⑦最不正式。)

虽然定语从句的引导词非常灵活,但也不是想怎变就怎变!

定语从句之专题二:that引导定语从句(系统讲解内在原理)


■为什么可以省略that呢?

引导词that,不管是作为连词引导名词性从句,还是作为代词引导定语从句,都是作为从句开始的标志。有了这个标志/记号,大家就知道后边跟的是从句,所以一般不能省略。但是,由于that (连词)本身无意义,that (代词)是对先行词的复指,所以,如果不影响识别从句,就可以省略。

(1)引导名词性从句的that(连词),本身没有词义,所以有时可以省略。(注意,由于没有词义,而可以省略的情况,只有that(连词)。)

那么,何时可以省略何时不能省略呢?在名词性从句中,that本身无词义,that只是个记号,用这个记号来识别从句。名词性从句的that,就像学生的学生证,门房大爷如果认得你,则不用检查证件;如果不认得你,则要检查证件。同理,如果省略that后,那个句子仍然只可能被看作从句,则可以省略;如果省略that后,那个句子可能会被误认为主句,则不能省略。(that引导宾语从句时,所有的能省略或不能省略的情况,都可以照此解释。)

例句(that(连词)在名词性从句中的省略)

●That you’re leaving is a pity.(that引导句首的主语从句时,不能省略。为什么呢?如果省略that,则听者会以为you’re leaving是主句,所以不能省略that)

●It’s a pity (that) you’re leaving.(that引导后置了的主语从句时,可以省略。为什么呢?前边的主谓结构(It’s a pity)是主句,后边再出现主谓结构(you’re leaving)自然是从句,所以可以省略that。)

●Do you know (that) he has joined the army?(that引导宾语从句时,可以省略。为什么呢?主谓结构(you know)是主句,再出现主谓结构(he has joined)只能是从句,所以,that有没有都可以。)

●I believe (that可以省) it will clear up soon and that (不能省) they will come to see us.(多个并列的that宾语从句,只有第一个可以省略,其它的都不能省略。为什么呢?由于I believe是主句,再出现主谓结构(it will clear)自然是从句,因此,第一个that可以省略。但是,如果把and后的that省略掉,则听者就不知道they will与it will clear并列呢还是与I believe并列呢?这就引起混乱,所以,they will前的that不能省略。)


(2)引导定语从句的that(代词),对先行词重复指定,所以有时可以省略。(注意,由于复指,而可以省略的情况,除了that (代词)之外,还有who(m)/which。)

那么,何时可以省略何时不能省略呢?一般地,一个句子(或从句),必须有主语和谓语。that作主语时不能省略,是因为省略后,不是句子了(Ø+谓语)。that作宾语或表语时可以省略,是因为省略后,仍然是句子(主语+谓语(或系动词))。

例句(that(代词)在定语从句中的省略)

●They are the boys whom I got to know at school.(在限制性定语从句中,代词作宾语时,可以省略。为什么呢?前边有主谓结构(they are…),再出现的主谓结构(I got…)只可能是从句,所以,有没有that都可以。)

●Yesterday I met Jack, whom his parents were looking for at that time.(在非限制性定语从句中,代词作宾语时,不能省略。为什么呢?若省略了that,这个句子可能被误认为主句或并列句。)

●There is something (that) keeps worrying me.(主句是there be时,that作主语时可以省略。为什么呢?there be句型具有特殊性:主语在be之后。此时sth是前后两句的共同主语,加之,there be的意义很弱,更使得这种共用显得很合理。)
