老师们,您们好,我最近在阅读时,遇到了一些关于定语从句,关系代词指代问题的疑问,如,She did not discover the coincidence of the market with the fair till she had reached the place, by which time it was close upon dusk. 我搞不明白后面这个非限定从中的 which指代的是什么?
同样地 it is a statute everybody concedes is flagrantly unconstitutional.这里的定从很奇怪,看起来好像后面的定从,又➕了个宾从,everybody concedes that which is ...
你先对比一下这个句子和并列句的区别:
She did not discover the coincidence of the market with the fair till she had reached the place, by which time it was close upon dusk. 非限制性定语从句。
She did not discover the coincidence of the market with the fair till she had reached the place, and by that time it was close upon dusk. 并列句。
并列句中的by that time= by the time he had reached the place. that time指她到达该地的时间即前面分句中谓语动词发生的时间。that为指示代词。如果把并列句改为主从复合句,则只需删去并列标记and, 用关系限定词which取代指示限定词,就得到上述非限制性定语从句。在该定语从句中,which为限定词,不要仅仅说which指代什么,而应考虑which time指代什么。
It is a statute (that)everybody concedes is flagrantly unconstitutional.
这是一个嵌入式定语从句。即定语从句本身是一个带有宾语从句的主从复合句,关系代词that在其中的宾语从句中作主语。即that is flagrantly unconstitutional 是 everybody concedes的宾语从句。这种从句中关系代词作嵌入分句的主语是可以省略的。
