一道专四的宾语从句题。
She managed to save ____ she could out of her wages to help her brother.
空格的答案为 what little money
按照答案解析的说法，此句的完整句子为:
She managed to save what little money she could (save) out of her wages to help her brother.
既然是what引导的宾从，那么 what little money 是不是充当从句中被省略的谓语save的宾语呢? 如果是，could (save) what little money这样的句子对吗？

She managed to save what little money she could (save) out of her wages to help her brother.
首先，英语专业学的是现代语法，所以你要有现代语法关于限定词的知识。
句中黑体部分整体是一个名词性从句作to save的宾语。其中what为融合型关系限定词，what= all the ( ) that.
即what 把限定词all和the 以及关系代词that 三者合为一体，括号里是what限定的名词。所以这个what从句可以改写如下：
She managed to save all the little money that she could (save) out of her wages to help her brother.
现在你就能明显看出，作不定式to save的宾语的，是all the little momey这个名词词组，然后由关系代词that 引导限制性定语从句去限制先行词all the little mondy. 作could save宾语的是关系代词that。注意这个that是what中已经含有的。用all the...that替换了what后才能看出这里有个定语从句。如果原句加that就是语法错误：
She managed to save what little money that she could (save) out of her wages to help her brother. 加了that就是语法错误。
有的网友会问，那我可不可以理解what就等于all the, what little momey 就等于all the money, 作to save的宾语，后面就是个省略了关系代词的定语从句。答案是不可以。因为如果后面是个省略了that的定语从句，那么that不省略仍然是正确的。可是what little momey后是不可以加that的，加了就是错误，因为what本身含有that。只有把what换成all the后，才可以加that，此时that才可以省略或不省略。所以，不能误以为这个what=all the, 正确的理解是what = all the...that
这个what从句现代语法称为名词性关系分句nominal relative clause, 作to save的宾语。what称为融合型关系限定词。
what从句本身的成分分析为：
what little money宾语 she主语 could (save)谓语动词 out of her wages状语

不能直接把关系词放到宾语的位置。这里what做限定词, 即使常见的做代替的情况也不能直接拿出来，比如
I'll take what he will give me.
单独拿出来说这样也不对: *He will give me what.
可以大概做如下转化。
What little money she could save
= All the little money she could save.
定语从句拿出来说的话可以是:
She could save little money.
看词典中的解释：
— used to refer to an amount that someone has, uses, etc.全部的；所有的
She gave what money she had [=she gave all the money she had] to the homeless man.
她将她所有的钱都给了这个无家可归的男人。
Give what excuses you will—it makes no difference. [=no excuses that you may give will make any difference]
无论你有什么借口都无济于事。
He soon gambled away what (little) money he had left.
他很快就赌光了仅剩的（那点）钱。
We spent what (little) time remained chatting.
剩下的（那点）时间里我们用来聊天了。
综上，连接代词 what 引导宾语从句时，要在宾语从句中作成分，那么 what 作为形容词修饰名词，名词是中心词，整体依旧可以作宾语从句中的成分。
