这时,of whom 只能引导定语从句,而非状语从句。
of whom 的前面要用逗号和主句隔开 —— 这不一定。这要看它是限制性定语从句,还是非限制性定语从句。比较:
This is the man of whom you have spoken. (限制性)
这就是你谈到的那个人。
He has four sons, of whom two remain single. (非限制性)
他有四个儿子,两个仍然单身。
of whom 说明:whom 是关系代词,作介词of 的宾语,其先行词是指人的。介词of 可能跟动词有关(如第1句的speak of 谈论;谈及),也可以表示“整体部分关系”(第2句)。
