网上看到这么一句话:
I think that that that that that student wrote on the blackboard was wrong.
此句是否有误呢? 倒数第二个关系代词that是否应该用which, 而不是that?
好像记得某本语法书上说(忘了是哪本了),当先行词是that的时候,关系代词不能再用that, 而应选用which.
麻烦老师详解。
正如曹老师所说,这只不过是个语法游戏,其目的是要学习者区分五个that不同的语法功能。第三that的确是用作先行词,但这里它的身份就是一个单词“word”,不必那么认真,如果你将第三个that换成其它的单词就明白了。例如:
I think that that verb/noun/where/but.... that that student wrote on the blackboard was wrong.
如果觉得我的回答对您有用,请随意打赏。你的支持将鼓励我继续创作!
如果网友只有that和which的疑惑的话,无需详解,你的困惑就是没有搞明白第三个that的意思。第三个that不在句子中起任何语法作用,和语法书上说的先行词that不是同一个概念,它只是一个普通的单词—学生写在黑板上的单词“that”。我认为他写在黑板上的那个‘that’是错的。
如果别的网友对这句话的结构没有完全搞懂的话,以不同颜色区分不同含义的that:
I think that(关系代词,可省略)that(那个)that(单词that)that(关系代词)that(那个)student wrote on the blackboard was wrong.
句子主干:
I think that that was wrong.
我认为那个that单词是错的。-->
哪个that?-->
那个学生写在黑板上的 --> that(关系代词)that student wrote on the blackboard.
如果我是个结巴,大家说可以加进几个that?
I think that1 the2 XX3 (that4 the5 student wrote on the blackboard) was wrong.
哪来的that which? 这里真没有。
-----------------
关于题主一直在问的 that which,这个有。
把that which看成一个较古旧、或很正式的结构就可以了
它相当于what,语法上大概是那么回事。
A very small part of acting is that which takes place on the stage!
That which is most highly valued in the tribe is valor.
前一个that是指示代词,后一个which, 自然是关系代词。
这两句的划线部分都应改一下,如分别为 sth that, The thing that.
### "当先行词是that的时候,关系代词不能再用that, 而应选用which."
这个很难说对与不对,因为that which现在用的本来就不多,1940年后,基本没再回升。
