what引导宾语从句后接名词如何用?比如下面一题:
When he asked me _______ I needed, I said I wanted red.
A. what colors B. what the color C. what the colors D. what a color
▲答案应是 A。what 修饰名词时,名词前原则上不能再有冠词。如:
1. What crime was he guilty of? 他犯有什么罪?
2. What kind of fruit do you like? 你喜欢哪种水果?
3. What party do you belong to? 你是属于哪个党派的?
4. What shop do you deal with? 你在哪一家商店买东西?
5. What percentage of your salary do you spend for rent? 你的薪水百分之多少花在房租上?
6. Anyhow, I don’t care what grade I get if I pass. 不管怎样,只要我能及格,我才不计较分数高低呢。
7. There are no special rules as regards what clothes you should wear. 至于应该穿什么衣服,并没有硬性规定。
▲但有一个例外,就是在感叹句(或类似于感叹句的从句)中,名词前可以用 what a / an 修饰:
1. What a boring book! 多没意思的书啊!
2. What a darling little house! 多漂亮的一所小房子。
3. What a beautiful diamond ring! 多美丽的钻石戒指呀!
4. Soon he’ll realize what a fool he’s been. 不久他就会明白他一直是多么愚蠢。
5. I don’t care what a car looks like so long as it gets me from A to B. 我不在乎车什么样,能载人跑就行。
6. In order to show his boss what a careful worker he was, he took extra trouble over the figures. 为了向新老板显示他是个工作非常细心的人,他在这些数字上费了比平常更多的力气。
▲注意下面的句子有所不同:其中的 what 不是其后名词的修饰语,而是从句的表语或宾语:
1. I give up; tell me what the answer is. 我认输,告诉我答案吧。
2. couldn’t understand what the teacher said in class. 她听不懂课上老师所讲的。
3. I’m anxious to see what the new neighbours are like. 我非常急切想看看邻居是什么样的人。
