what的特殊用法

2017-07-06来源:和谐英语

 

   

关于 what 复合关系代词的用法,下面再举几例,请试着翻译一下:    

1. The old man lived in what was called a small forest.    

2. What surprised me most was his good memory.    

3. What's in the box is a big jar, and what's in the jar is a kind of wine.    

4. Being determined is a kind of quality and that's what it takes to do anything properly.    

那么如何区别what是“表疑问的连接代词”,还是“没有疑问的复合关系代词”呢?这里有一个规律可以参考:一般说来,what 引导的句子如果跟“疑问,询问,怀疑,质疑,好奇,不知道,想知道,不清楚,不明白,不理解,不确定,悬而未决”等意义的动词连用时,那么,what往往就是“疑问代词”。反之,则是复合关系代词。试比较:  

What we will do hasn't been decided. 我们将要做什么还没有决定。(what是表疑问的连接代词)  

What we will do is of great importance. 我们将要做的事情是非常重要的。(what是没有疑问的复合不定代词)
