18.非限制性定语从句
1) 定语从句有限制性和非限制性两种。限制性定语从句是先行词不可缺少的部分,去掉它主句意思往往不明确;非限制性定语从句是先行词的附加说明,去掉了也不会影响主句的意思,它与主句之间通常用逗号分开,例如:
This is the house which_ we bought last month.
这是我们上个月买的那幢房子。(限制性)
The house, _which_ we bought last month, is very nice.
这幢房子很漂亮,是我们上个月买的。(非限制性)
2) 当先行词是专有名词或物主代词和指示代词所修饰时,其后的定语从句通常是非限制性的,例如:
Charles Smith, _who_ was my former teacher, retired last year. 查理•史密斯去年退休了,他曾经是我的老师。
My house,_which_ I bought last year, has got a lovely garden.我去年买的的那幢房子带着个漂亮的花园。
This novel,_which_ I have read three times, is very touching. 这本小说很动人,我已经读了三遍。
3) 非限制性定语从句还能将整个主句作为先行词, 对其进行修饰, 这时从句谓语动词要用第三人称单数,例如:
He seems not to have grasped what I meant,which_ greatly upsets me. 他似乎没抓住我的意思,这使我心烦。
Liquid water changes to vapor, _which is called evaporation. 液态水变为蒸汽,这就叫做蒸发。
说明:关系代词that和关系副词why不能引导非限制性定语从句。
