拓展
1同位语从句
在复合句中用作同位语的从句叫同位语从句,常常跟在fact,idea,opinion,news,hope,belief等名词后面,用以说明该名词表示的具体内容,可以由名词、代词、短语及句子来充当同位语从句。
同位语从句是名词从句,其作用相当于一个名词,对前面抽象名词的进一步的说明和解释。
2定语从句
定语从句是由关系代词和关系副词引导的从句,用来修饰名词或代词,起到定语的作用,所以叫做定语从句。定语从句的作用是作定语修饰主句的某个成分,通常分为限定性和非限定性从句两种。
定语从句不同于单词作定语的情况,它需要放在被修饰的词(即先行词)之后,一般由关系代词来引导,关系代词必须放在定语从句之首。被修饰的词叫先行词,由关系词(关系代词或关系副词)引出。
3同位语从句与定语从句的区别
1、引导同位语从句的that是连词,在从句中不充当任何成份,而引导定语从句的`that是关系代词,除起连接作用外,还在从句中充当主语、宾语或表语等,如:
The idea that computers can recognize human voices surprises many people.
计算机能够识别人的声音的想法使许多人感到惊奇。(同位语从句,that在从句中不充当任何成份)
The idea that he gave surprises many people.他提出的观点令许多人感到吃惊。
(定语从句,that在从句中作gave的宾语)
2、引导词的不同
what,how,if,whatever等可引导名词性从句,但不引导定语从句。
3、同位语从句与前面的名词是同位关系,即说明它前面名词的内容;而定语从句与前面的名词是修饰与被修饰关系,即限定它前面的名词范围,或补充一些情况。如:
The news that l have passed the math exam is true.我通过了数学考试这一消息是真的。
(同位语从句,即从句所表达的意思就是前面名词的内容)
The news that he told me just now is true.他刚才告诉我的消息是真的。
(定语从句,从句对前面名词起修饰限制作用,即“他告诉我的”那个消息,而不是别的消息)
4、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,fact,hope,news,doubt,truth,information,suggestion,question,belief,conclusion等少数名词。而且when,where,why引导的定语从句的先行词一定分别是表示时间、地点和原因的名词,而三者引导的同位语从句的先行词则肯定不是表示时间、地点和原因的名词。I have no idea when they will come.我不知道他们什么时候来。(同位语从句)
I’ll never forget the days when I lived there.我永远不会忘记我住在那儿的日子。(定语从句)
