定语从句之专题二:that引导定语从句(系统讲解内在原理)
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?
