定语从句例句which
一、which定语从句用法
which
指物，在定语从句中做主语或者宾语，做宾语时可省略
(1) Football is a game which is liked by most boys.
(2) This is the pen (which) he bought yesterday.
关系代词在定语从句中做介词宾语时，从句常由介词+关系代词引导
(1) The school (that/which) he once studied in is very famous.
(2) The school in which he once studied is very famous.
(3) Tomorrow I will bring here a magazine (that/which) you asked for.
(4) Tomorrow I will bring here a magazine for which you asked.
(5) We'll go to hear the famous singer (whom/that/who) we have often talked about.
(6) We'll go to hear the famous singer about whom we have often talked.
二、which引导的定语从句
关系代词which引导的定语从句， 指物，在从句中可以作主语、宾语等。多数情况下，可与that互换。但是要注意当从句中，介词提前只能用which，而且，在非限制性定语从句中，which引导的句子单独翻译为一句话。
(1)“The ability to guard customer data is the key to market value， which the board is responsible for on behalf of shareholders。”(2007-4-3)
考点：board董事会，be responsible for代表， on behalf of代表(注意在写作中的应用)，shareholder股东
解析：这个句子难度为低级，划横线部分为主句只有一个难点就是which的先行词是谁，是句子还是前面的一个名词，很显然，这个句子中是指市场价值，而不是这种能力。
翻译：保护客户资料的能力是市场价值的关键，董事会代表股东对市场价值负有责任。
难点总结：介词短语，which的先行词，非限制性定语从句一般翻译为一个单句。
(2)In Europe， as elsewhere， multi-media groups have been increasingly successful: groups which bring together television， radio， newspapers， magazines and publishing houses that work in relation to one another。
考点：multi-media 传媒集团(最好不要翻译为多媒体集团)， bring together 组织，集合，work in relation to one another 彼此协作，publishing houses出版社
解析：此句难度为高级，划线部分为主句， 冒号后是主句的同位语，由which引导的定语从句来修饰groups，句尾还有that引导的定语从句来修饰television， radio， newspapers， magazines and publishing houses。As在这个句子中是副词，修饰副词elsewhere，翻译为“就像在其他地方一样”。
翻译：在欧洲，就像在其他地方一样，多媒体集团越来越成功了，这些集团把相互之间有紧密联系的电视台、电台、报纸、杂志、出版社组合到了一起。
难点总结：确认关系代词which，that的先行词(记得当先行词是两个或者两个以上的人或者物时，关系代词要用that。)，as的用法。
(3)Dr. Myers and Dr. Worm argue that their work gives a correct baseline， which future management efforts must take into account。(2006-3-4)
考点：take into account考虑(注意要用在写作中，尤其是建议信中例如：You need to take the following factor into account when you make a decision。)
解析：这个句子难度为低级。Which在此指代的是a correct baseline。
翻译：麦尔斯博士和沃姆博士指出，他们的工作确定了一个准确的底线，未来的.管理必须将其考虑进去。
难点总结：确定which的先行词。
(4)For a while it looked as though the making of semiconductors， which America had invented and which sat at the heart of the new computer age， was going to be the next casualty。
考点：semiconductor半导体，casualty伤亡，
解析：这个句子难度为高级，这个句子是主句里套从句，从句里又套从句的结构，所以分清楚主句特别重要，主句为划线部分，其中as though 引导一个方式状语从句，这个从句中又有一个由which(先行词为the making of semiconductors)引导的非限制性定语从句。
翻译：曾有一段时间，似乎半导体制造业是另一个将要覆没的产业，要知道半导体正是美国人所发明，它在计算机新时代起着核心作用。
难点总结：注意句子结构。注意各个连词的指代和意义。
定语从句例句which题型解析
which引导非限定性定语从句时有一个特殊用法， 即它所引导的非限定性定语从句修饰主句中更多的部分甚至整个主句（这时被定语从句所修饰的“先行词”要作广义理解）， which仍在定语从句中作主语、 宾语或表语。例如：
He set free the birds happily， which was a celebration for his success. 他开心地把鸟放了， 这是对他成功的一种庆祝。
把非限定性定语从句“which was a celebration for his success”的先行词视为主句中的“the birds”显然不符合整句的语境， 被“which was a celebration for his success”所修饰的是整个主句， which所引导的这类特殊的非限定性定语从句对主句所叙述的情况进行某种意义的补充说明，which常可译为“这一点， 这件事”。
