哪些从句可用作介词宾语

介词后接从句作宾语时，注意以下用法：

1. 接连接代词引导的宾语从句。如：

I was rather angry at what he said. 我对他说的话相当生气。

We had a difference of opinion over who had won. 我们在究竟是谁获胜的问题上发生了争执。

2. 接连接副词引导的宾语从句。如：

It all depends on how you handle it. 这都取决于你如何处理。

I’m interested in when he did it. 我对他什么时候干了此事感兴趣。

There’s a limit to how much I’m prepared to spend. 我准备花多少钱是有限度的。

The accident happened right next to where we were standing. 事故就发生在我们所站位置的旁边。

3. 接连词whether引导的宾语从句，但不能接if引导的宾语。如：

I worry about whether I hurt her feelings. 我为是否伤了她的感情而忧虑。

It depends on whether the letter arrives in time. 这取决于信是否来得及时。

4. 接连接that引导的宾语从句，只限于but, except等个别介词。如：

This dress will do except that its price is a little too high. 这连衣裙还行，只是价格贵了一点。

She remembered nothing except that his hair was black. 她什么都不记得, 只记得他的头发是黑的。

有人把习语in that（因为，由于）的用法也可归入此类。如：

I’m lucky in that I’ve got four sisters. 我很幸运，因为我有四个姐妹。

Man is superior to the animals in that he uses language to convey his thoughts. 人高于动物是因为人能用语言表达思想。

但是，在其他情况下，介词宾语原则上不能接that从句作宾语，遇此情况应在介词后加上the fact，即使用“介词+the fact that…”这样的形式。如(www.hxen.net)：

They were worried over the fact that you were sick. 他们为你生病发愁。

They wore gloves despite the fact that it was warm. 虽然天气暖和，他们却带着手套。

He must face up to the fact that he is no longer young. 他应该勇于正视自己不再年轻这一事实。
