▲ 汉语中的同位语也是经常有的。例如:

我朋友汤姆          英语对应表达:my friend Tom

我们每个人          英语对应表达:we each

你们两个             英语对应表达:you two

我们学生             英语对应表达:we students; us students

▲ 你说的大概是指同位语从句。因为在汉语中,英语的同位语从句往往被翻译成定语从句。因为汉语中的定语标志是“的”字。所以,在汉语中很少有同位语从句,而英语却大量存在着。

英语中的同位语从句,是用以解释说明某一名词或代词内容的从句,所以它总是跟在该词的后面。

    不是所有的名词后面都可以跟同位语从句,只有少数名词后面跟同位语从句。

    The warning that teenagers should not smoke is reasonable.

    青少年不该吸烟的警告是合情合理的。

    We have received their reply that they won't reduce the price.

    我们已经收到了他们不降价的答复。

▲ 常跟同位语从句的名词有:

    advice 建议            belief 信念,相信          doubt 怀疑               explanation 解释

    fact 事实                 fear 害怕                         feeling 感觉             hope 希望

    idea 主意                news 消息                      opinion 观点            order 命令

    possibility 可能性  promise 答应,诺言     problem 问题           probability 可能性

    question 问题         reply 答复                       report 报道              suggestion 建议

    thought 想法           truth 事实                        wish 愿望                 warning 警告

▲ 同位语从句的连接词主要有that和wh-word 类。例如:

The news that our team has won again is true. 我们队又赢了的消息是真的。

The fact that some countries are still suffering from poverty is really a great problem to the world. 有一些国家仍然在遭受贫穷的这个事实,对整个世界来说真的是一个大问题。

The question why so many people would choose to live in the countryside but to work in the city is still under discussion. 人们仍然在讨论这样一个问题:为什么那么多的人愿意在乡下居住而到城里上班。
