用what还是who

—What a mess! You are always so lazy!

—I’m not to blame, mum. I am ________ you have made me.
A. how          B. what         C. that           D. who

老师,您好。

这个题目官方答案是what,我也同意what正确。但我心里一直有个疑惑,who到底可以吗?

我见有一首英文歌是这样的:

“Enough” Lyrics

Verse 1
I am not what I make
I am who You have made me to be
I am not what I’ve done
I am loved unconditionally
...

还有一首歌Infections 也有类似的:

I am who you have made me become.

I am sorry I couldn't have run fast enough when the time really mattered.

All that it has left me with is the idea that I should

 

还有一些类似的例子:

 

I am who You have made me to be and I shall live as that person every day of my life. I don't place myself in positions where I am outside of my ...

 

Lord help me to see who I am, who you have made me, help me to live according to your design for me, to flourish and to lead others to this fulfillment that solely ...

 

2012年4月20日 - I am who you have made me to be {flaws and all}, and that cannot necessarily be portrayed in five images. Thank you Jesus for making me and ...

在早期英语中,who可以是融合型关系代词,引导名词性关系分句。who = the person who. 但这种用法在现代英语已经不用了。在阅读中遇到的都是引用古典作品中的原文。在日常英语中是不能把who用作融合型关系代词的。

你的句子显然是日常口语,用who引导名词性关系分句是错误的。

本句中的what = the kind of person that.。

所以,本题的唯一正确答案为what.

what 只涉及自身的属性,人还是那个人;局部性概念

who有可能"变成另外一个人" (是不是那人?); 整体性概念

这是what he is / who he is 在特定语境下的、非常大的区别, 如:

### In the mirror stands what/who she became

In the mirror stands (the person) who she has become. 

= She has become someone else. ( 如简直换了个人,“我都成什么人了?”)

In the mirror stands what she has become 

= She has become something else.(如她看着自己天使般的身材,很是得意)

但这两个例子里,第一个例子,是不可能真变成另一个人的,只是说变化巨大而已。

(2) 

…and don't ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to live as rich and full a life as you do.

这是高中二年级教材里的一句话,这里换成 for what they are,语义变化明显。原句用who是对他们整体接受,是什么样就什么样;换成用what,就有了因他们某些特征(比如残疾)而接受的感觉。但who/what都对,who较好。

(3)

—What a mess! You are always so lazy!
—I'm not to blame, mum. I am ________ you have made me.
A. how          B. what         C. that           D. who

结论,B对, 因为B显然最符合语境,这句“I”不可能是说自己整体。这个正好与你引用的下3个例子是一致的(歌曲里的句子就不要看了),它们是说全身心的含义。D很不合适。当然,这题一定要选D,口语中也是可能的,书面的还是算了吧。 这种地方比较细微。
