【问】 27. (武汉市余同学问)在《备战2023中考英语单项选择百题分类训练(中考真题+名校最新模拟题)专题01 定语从句100题》这份资料中,由这样一道题目:24. (2021·辽宁营口·中考真题)I’ll never forget the place ________ we visited together last year.
A. which B. what C. who D. Whom
参考答案是:
24. A【解析】【分析】句意:我永远不会忘记我们去年一起去过的那个地方。考查定语从句。which哪一个;what什么;who谁;whom谁,who的宾语。该句为定语从句,且从句中缺宾语,先行词place指物,故应用关系代词which,故选A。
我认为这里的“which哪一个;what什么;who谁”是错误的,因为what不能引导定语从句;在定语从句中,which的意思不是“哪一个”,who的意思不是“谁”。我的看法正确吗?
【答】我认为你的看法是正确的。在定语从句中,which和who是关系代词,在限制性定语从句中通常翻译为“......的”,which用来指明前面提及的事物;who用来指明前面提及的人。在非限制性定语从句中,which也不能翻译为“哪一个”,who不能翻译为“谁”。例如:
Did you see the letter which came today? 你看到今天来的那封信了吗?(摘自《朗文当代高级英语辞典》第6版which词条)这里的which came today是限制性定语从句。
Now they were driving by the houses which Andy had described. 他们正开车经过安迪描述过的那些房子。(同上)这里的which Andy had described是限制性定语从句。
The people who called yesterday want to buy the house. 昨天打电话来的人想买这座房子。(摘自《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第9版p.2460)这里的who called yesterday是限制性定语从句。
Mrs Smith,who has a lot of teaching experience at junior level, will be joining the school in September . 史密斯太太将在九月份加入这所学校,她在初级教育方面颇有经验。(同上)这里的who has a lot of teaching experience at junior level是非限制性定语从句。
His best movie, which won several awards, was about the life of Gandhi. 他最优秀的电影,就是荣获几项大奖的那一部,是关于甘地生平的。(摘自《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第9版p.2455)这里的which won several awards是非限制性定语从句。
