Question

定语从句中which和that的区别

Answer 1

先行词指物时，关系代词that与which往往可以互换。它们在从句中既可以作主语，也可以作宾语。
在下列情况中只能用that。如：
All that glitters is not gold. 闪光的东西不都是金子。(不定代词包括复合词something等只能后接that)
It was the largest map that I ever saw. 那是我所看见过的最大的地图。(前有形容词最高级等的先行词之后只能用that)
It was liberation that brought about a complete change in his life. 是解放给他的生活带来了彻底的改变。(强调结构用that)
There is a house that has bay windows. 有一栋房子有凸出的窗户。(that在此表固有的特点)
The distance that you are from home is immaterial. 你离家的距离是不足道的。(在限制性定语从句中关系代词用作表语应用that，在非限制性定语从句中则要用which)
Which was the hotel that was recommended to you? 哪一个是推荐给你的旅馆?(这里用that显然是为了避免重复which)
在下列情况中则只能用which。如：
Larry told her the story of the young airman which I narrated at the beginning of this book. 拉里把我在书本开关叙述过的那个关于一个青年飞行员的故事讲给她听。(离先行词较远时，用which)
A shop should keep a stock of those goods which sell best. 商店应存在最畅销的货物。(“those+复形名词”之后只能用which)
I have that which you gave me. 我有你给我的那个。(which比较正式，在非正式英语中也可用that)
Beijing, which was China’s capital for more than 800 years, is rich in cultural and historic relics. 北京曾是八百多年的中国首都，有很丰富的历史文物。（非限制性定语从句一般只能用which)
This is the one of which I’m speaking. 这就是我所讲的那个。(介系词之后须用which)

Answer 2

相同点 在定语从句中两者都可以做主语，宾语
不同点 前者用的范围更广，根据不同情况 可以在它之前加借词 比如in which， from which等
