大概有以下五个要点吧:
要点一:关系代词whose在定语从句中作定语。
He’s a man whose opinion I respect. 他是我尊重其意见的人。
That’s the man whose house has burned down. 就是那个男人的房子被烧毁了。
要点二:关系代词whose既可指人也可以指物。如:
This is the house whose windows were broken. 这就是窗户被打破了的房子。
It’s the house whose door is painted red. 这就是那所门户涂成红色的房子。
要点三:关系代词whose既可引导限制性定语从句,也可以引导非限制性定语从句。
The ship, whose engine had failed, is now safely under tow. 引擎坏了的船正被安全地拖着。(非限制性,指物)
This is an SOS for a Mr Tucker, whose mother is seriously ill. 紧急寻找塔克先生,他的母亲病重。(非限制性,指人)
要点四:关系代词whose前面有时(如果语义需要的话)可以连用介词。如:
He is the man from whose house the pictures were stolen. 他就是那个家里藏画被盗的人。
Michel Croz, with whose help Whymper climbed the Matterhorn, was one of the first professional guides. 米歇尔·克罗兹是第一批职业向导之一,在他的帮助下温珀攀登了马特峰。
要点五:关系代词whose在语义上相当于…of which / of whom。但具体使用时,指物时,whose有时可以用 of which来改写。如:
He’s written a book whose name I’ve forgotten.
= He’s written a book the name of which I’ve forgotten.
他写了一本书,书名我忘了。
但whose指人时,通常不能用含有of whom的结构来改写,如:
他就是汽车被窃的人。
误:He is the man the car of whom was stolen.
正:He is the man whose car was stolen.
