谈谈“介词+关系代词”的用法
谈谈“介词+关系代词”的用法
一、用法说明
介词+whom只能指人;介词+ which只能指物。如:
Look, there comes Tom, for whom I have waiting for an hour. 瞧,汤姆来啦,我等他等了一个小时。
Last Saturday evening, I went to Wu Dong’s birthday party, in which I met a foreigner named Jim. 上周星期六的晚上我去参加了吴东的生日聚会,在会上我会到了一个叫吉姆的外国人。
She came into the house, on whose wall there was a portrait of Einstein. 她进入了房间,房子的墙壁上有一张爱因斯坦的画像。
二、注意事项
(1) 有时,前面的介词可移到定语从句的中间或后面,此时whom可用who, that代替;which可以用that代替。而且who, whom, which, that都可省略。如:
The man with whom you talked just now is our manager. —The man who you talked with just now is our manager. 你刚才与他谈话的那个人就是我们的经理。
He handed me a pen, with which I wrote down my address for him. —He handed me a pen, which I wrote down my address with for him. 他递给我一支钢笔,我就用那支钢笔给他写下了我的地址。
(2) 当先行词是时间、地点、原因从句时,介词+ which一般在定语从句中分别做时间、地点、原因状语,于是介词+ which可以分别用when, where, why代替。但若介词+ which不是作时间、地点、原因状语,则不能用when, where, why代替。如:
Last week, I visited Shanghai, in which I have made several friends. —Last week, I visited Shanghai, where I have made several friends. 上周我参观了上海,在那儿我叫上几个朋友。
I will remember the day forever on which I won the first place in the contest. —I will remember the day forever when I won the first place in the contest. 我将永远记住我在竞赛中获得第一名的那一天。
