下面的句子是 2005 年高考英语的天津卷考题:
Last month, part of Southeast Asia was struck by floods, from ________ effects people are still suffering.
A. that B. whose C. those D. what
本题答案是 B。好像很少见到“介词+whose+名词”引导的定语从句,能请老师说说这个语法点的用法吗?非常谢谢!
这道题目要注意三个要点:
1. 动词短语suffer from;
2. 介词from+whose构成的非限制性定语从句。
3. 定语从句中的whose作effects的定语。
首先将这个题目改为两个简单句:
Last month, part of Southeast Asia was struck by floods. People are still suffering from their effects.
注意:在后一句中,与“洪水”floods有关系的词是their。由于their是用作定语,所以将其变为关系词代词whose(也有人称之为关系形容词)而构成from whose effects来引导定语从句。
Last month, part of Southeast Asia was struck by floods, from whose effects people are still suffering.
再举一个将两个简单句合并成一个复合句的例子:
Lao Li was a quick-witted undergrounder. He cleverly escaped from his captors. 老李是一个机智的地下工作者,他巧妙地从捕获他的人手中逃脱了。
后一句中的his作定语且与前句中的undergrounder有关系,所以关系代词要用whose。变为定语从句便是:
Lao Li was a quick-witted undergrounder, from whose captors he cleverly escaped.
