赵振才教授在《英语常见问题解答大词典》增订版中指出：在现代英语里，人称代词 we, he, she 通常是不受定语从句来修饰或限定的。像 we who / that , he who / that, she who / that 这样的用法只出现在古文体和非正式的语境里，带有古色古香的的味道 ...... 因此，我们在格言和谚语里会常常见到这种用法。
以下是该书中的一些例句：
He who makes no mistakes makes nothing. (Prov.) 不犯错误的人将一事无成。
He that cannot obey cannot command. (Prov.) 不会服从的人就不会指挥。
He that can discern the loveliness of things, we call him a poet. 能够觉察到事物之美的人，我们称之为诗人。
