什么情况下“介词 +which”代替先行词
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
问:罗教授,你好!请教一个问题:定语从句中当先行词做状语不可省略有时可以用“介词+which”代替。一般在什么情况下“介词+which”代替先行词。
答:我们看看几个不同形式的定语从句,同时作些针对性的解释:
1)This is the book which you want to read.(这是你要阅读的书。----关系代词which作定语从句toread的宾语。在这种情况下,可以省去关系代词:This is the book youwant to read.)
2)This is the book about which you have talked tome. (这是你曾经给我谈起的那本书。----关系代词which在定语从句中作介词about的宾语,which的先行词只是前面的thebook。当引导定语从句的关系代词前面有介词时,只能用关系代词which。在口语中,一般喜欢把介词放到定语从句的后面去,同时省略掉关系代词which:This is the book youhave talked about tome. 这就是你所问的那种情况。)
3)This is the book on the cover of which there is amap of China. (这是封面上有张中国地图的那本书。----关系代词前面不是一个介词,而是一个介词词组,这时也只能用关系代词which,不能用that。和上面例句不同的是:不能将这个介词词组放到定语从句的后面去,我们一般不能说:This is the bookthere is a map of China onthe cover of .)
