定语从句的用法讲解
定语从句是高中英语的重要语法项目之一，它的结构和用法比较复杂。我们应从哪些方面有效地复习定语从句呢？下面就是我给大家带来的定语从句的用法讲解，希望大家喜欢！
高中英语语法项目之定语从句的用法讲解
[定语从句的种类]
定语从句分为限制性和非限制性两种。限制性定语从句是 句子 不可缺少的部分，如去掉主句意思就不完整或失去意义；非限制性定语从句是先行词的附加说明，去掉也不会影响主句的意思。它与主句之间通常用逗号分开，一般不用that，关系词不可省略。如：
This is the book that I want to read. （限制性）
Tom’s father， who arrived just now， is a famous scientist. （非限制性）
非限制性定语从句的先行词成分可以是整个主句，非限制性定语从句常用which，修饰整个句子。定语从句的谓语动词要用第三人称单数。例如：
The weather turned out to be very good， which was more than we could expect.
关系代词的定语从句
关系代词所指代的先行词是表示人或物的名词或代词，并在句中充当主语、宾语、定语等成分。关系代词在定语从句中作主语时，从句谓语动词的人称和数要和先行词保持一致。
在定语从句中，who和that既可作主语又可作宾语，whom只可作宾语（作宾语时可以省略）。如：
Is he the man who/that wants to see you？ （who/that在从句中作主语）
The man （whom/who/that） you spoke to just now is our English teacher. （whom/who/that在从句中作宾语，可省略）
[whose]
在定语从句中作定语，可用来指人或物，表示物时相当于“the+名词+of+which”或“of+which+the+名词”。如：John， whose wife is ill， can’t come to the party.
[which & that]
which和that指代的先行词是表示事物的名词或代词，在定语从句中可作主语、宾语等。如：
Please show me the radio that/which you he just bought. （that/which在从句中作宾语，可省略）
This is the film that/which created a great sensation. （that/which在从句中作主语）
只能用that而不能用which的情况：
1. 先行词是或被修饰时。如：This is the best dictionary that I’ve ever used.
2. 先行词是序数词或被序数词修饰时。如：The first thing that we should do is to get some food.
3. 当先行词是anything， everything， nothing， something， few， all， none， little， some等不定代词时，或是由every， any， all， some， no， little， few， much等词修饰时。如：Tom told his father all that had happened.
There is little that I can do for you.
4. 先行词既有人又有物时。如：They talked about the teachers and the schools that they knew.
5. 先行词被the only，the very，the right等修饰时。如：This is the very book that I want to he.
6. 在which，who，whom引起的问句中，为避免重复。如：Who is the girl that talked to you yesterday？
7. 关系代词在定语从句中作表语时。如：China is not the country that it was.
只能用which，不能用that的情况：
1. 在非限制性定语从句中。如：Beijing， which is the capital of China， has a very long histroy.
2. 在介词后面，即“介词+which（指物）”。如：This is the house in which we lived three years ago.
[as]
关系代词as代替的先行词是人或物的名词， 在从句中作主语、宾语和表语。
as限制性定语从句时，常和such， the same， as（so）连用， 构成such ... as， the same ... as， as/so ... as等结构，在从句中可作主语、宾语和表语。如：
Don’t trust such men as praise you to your face. （在定语从句中作主语）
I he the same trouble as you he. （在定语从句作宾语）
It’s as pleasant a film as I he ever seen. （在定语从句作宾语）
但是当先行词被the same修饰时，that也可以定语从句，但意义有所不同。the same ... as（指同样或同类的）， the same ... that（指同一个）。例如：
This is the same watch as I lost.
This is the same watch that I lost.
as也可单独使用，非限制性定语从句，修饰整个主句或主句中的一部分，放在句首、句中或句末。如：
As is known to us all， oking is harmful to one’s health. （指代整个主句，在从句中做主语）
He is late， as is often the case. （指代整个主句，在从句中做主语）
Light， as everybody knows， trels much faster than sound. （指代整个主句，在从句中做宾语）
as和which作关系代词的用法比较：
which的非限定性定语从句只能放在主句之后，which指代前面的一个句子或主句中的某一成分；as的非限定性定语从句能放在主句之前、中、后，既可指前面已经提到的情况，也可指后面提到的情况。
as从句时，有“为人所熟知”的含义，which则没有这层意思。as的从句往往表示的是一种附加说明，which的从句一般是较为重要的陈述。如：
His mother is ill， which makes him very sad.
As is expected， the England team won the football match.
[关系副词的定语从句]
关系副词when， where， why可代替的先行词是时间、地点或理由的名词，在从句中作状语， 相当于“介词+which”结构。例如：
I’ll never forget the time when/during which we worked in the factory.
This is the village where /in which he was born.
I don’t know the reason why/for which she looks unhappy today.
[判定用关系代词还是用关系副词]
关系代词与关系副词的选用，应看先行词在定语从句中充当什么成分：若作主语、宾语或定语，则用关系代词who，whom，that，which，whose，as等；若作状语， 就用where， when， why等关系副词。如：
The reason why I’m writing is to tell you about a party on Sunday. （状语）
The reason that/which he ge us sounded reasonable. （宾语）
Pisa is a city， which has a leaning tower. （主语）
Pisa is a city， where there is a leaning tower. （状语）
[介词+关系代词]
当关系代词作介词宾语时，就出现了“介词+关系代词”的结构定语从句的现象。当先行词指物时用“介词+which”，指人时用“介词+whom”，且关系代词不能省略。而这种结构中较难解决的问题是介词的选择问题：
1. 介词的确定可以根据整个句意来确定。
Oxygen is a kind of gas， without which we couldn’t live.
2. 介词可以根据与先行词的搭配来确定。
He ge me the book for which he paid a lot of money. （动词与介词搭配）
1949 was the year in which the P.R.C. was founded. （名词与介词搭配）
The snake， of which she used to be afraid， is her forite animal now. （形容词与介词搭配）

初高中定语从句讲解
定语从句（Attributive Clauses）在句中做定语，修饰一个名词或代词，有时也可以修饰部分或整个句子。
被修饰的名词，词组或代词即先行词。定语从句通常出现在先行词之后，由关系词（关系代词或关系副词）引出。
关系代词有：who, whom, whose, that, which, as。
关系副词有：when, where, why, how。
关系代词和关系副词放在先行词和定语从句之间，起连接作用，同时又可做定语从句的一个成分。当关系代词做宾语时可以省略。
定语从句中的谓语动词必须在人称上和数量上和先行词保持一致。
定语从句分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。
1 、关系代词的定语从句
1) who, whom, that 这些词代替的先行词是人的名词或代词，在从句中所起作用如下：
Is he the man who/that wants to see you?（who/that在从句中作主语）
He is the man whom/ that I saw yesterday.（whom/that在从句中作宾语）
2) whose 用来指人或物，（只用作定语，若指物，它还可以同of which互换），例如：
Please pass me the book whose (of which) cover is green.
3) which, that 它们所代替的先行词是事物的名词或代词，在从句中可作主语、宾语等，例如：
A prosperity which / that had never been seen before appears in the countryside.（which / that在句中作宾语）
The package (which / that) you are carrying is about to come unwrapped. (which / that在句中作宾语)
关系代词that和which 都可以指物，that 和Who 都可以指人，其用法区别：
不用that的情况：
a) 在非限定性定语从句时
(错)The tree, that is four hundred years old, is very famous here.
b) 介词后不能用
We depend on the land from which we get our food.
c) 多用who 的情况
①关系代词在从句中做主语
A friend who helps you in time of need is a real friend.
②先行词为those, people 时
Those who were either fools or unfit for their offices could not see the cloth.
③先行词为all, anyone, ones, one 指人时
One who doesn't work hard will never succeed in his work.
④在There be句型中
There is a stranger who wants to see you.
⑤在被分隔的定语从句中
A new teacher will come tomorrow who will teach you German.
⑥在有两个定语从句的句子中，其一用who，其二用that,但若先行词后接两个以上的并列定语从句时，后一个必须重复前一个关系代词。
The student who was praised at the meeting is the monitor that is very modest and studies very hard.
There is a teacher who is always ready to help others and who enjoys what he does.
2) 只能用that作为定语从句的关系代词的情况
a)在不定代词，如：anything, nothing, everything, all, much, few, any, little等作先行词时，只用that，不用which。
All that is needed is a supply of oil.
Finally, the thief handed everything that he had stolen to the police.
b)先行词有the only, the very, the just修饰时，只用that。
He is the very man that helped the girl out of the water.
c)先行词为序数词(the last)、数词、形容词级时，只用that。
The first English book that I read was "The Prince and the Pauper" by Mark Twin.
d)先行词既有人，又有物时。
He talked about the teachers and schools that he visited.
e)当主句是以who 或which 开始的特殊疑问句时，用that 以避免重复。
Who is the person that is standing at the gate.
f)关系代词在从句中做表语
He is not the man that he used to be.
2 、关系副词的定语从句
关系副词可代替的先行词是时间、地点、方式或理由的名词，在从句中作状语。
关系副词when, where, why, how的含义相当于"介词+ which"结构，因此常常和"介词+ which"结构交替使用，例如：
There are occasions when (on which) one must yield.
Beijing is the place where (in which) I was born.
Is this the reason why (for which) he refused our offer?
I'm surprised the way how (by which) he works out the problem.
注意：
①在非限制性定语从句中，"介词+ which"结构不能代替关系副词。
如：They set up a state for their own , where they would be free to keep Negroes as sles.
②含有介词短语的动词一般不能拆开，介词仍放在动词后面。
Is this the book which (that) she was looking for?
3、名词/数词/代词 /形容词级 + 介词 + 关系代词定语从句
She has written a book , the name of which I he forgotten.
There are fifty-five students in our class , all of whom are working hard.
There are five continents in the world , the largest of which is Asia.
4、as, which 非限定性定语从句的别
由as, which 的非限定性定语从句，as和which可代整个主句，相当于and this或and that。As一般放在句首，which在句中。
As we know, oking is harmful to one's health.
The sun heats the earth, which is very important to us.
as可非限制性从句，常带有“正如”的意思。
As is know, oking is harmful to one's health.
用法区别：
(1) as 的定语从句可置于句首，而which不可。
As we all know, he never okes.
(2) as 代表前面的整个主句并在从句中作主语时，从句中的谓语必须是系动词；若为行为动词，则从句中的关系代词只能用which。
(3)非限定性定语从句中出现expect, think, suppose 等表示猜测、想象、预料等时。
She succeeded in her doing the research work , as we expected.
(4)As 的用法 the same… as; such…as 中的as 是一种固定结构, 和……一样……。
I should like to use the same tool as is used here.
We should he such a dictionary as he is using.

高中英语定语从句解析
1. The factory was built in a secret place, around _________ high mountains.
A. which was B. it was C. which were D. them were
【陷阱】容易误选A或B，将A、B中的 which 和 it 误认为是其后句子的主语。
【分析】佳答案是C，around which were high mountains 是一个由“介词+which”引出的非限制性定语从句，而在该从句中，主语是 high mountains，around which 是表语，所以句子谓语应用复数were，而不是用单数 was。请做以下类例题目（答案均为C）：
(1) Yesterday we visited a modern hospital, around _________ some fruit shops.
A. which is B. it is C. which are D. them are
(2) The murder happened in an old building, beside _________ the city police station.
A. which are B. it is C. which is D. them are
(3) Next month we’ll move to a new building, next to _________ a nice restaurants where we can he Chinese food.
A. which are B. it is C. which is D. them are
2. A man with a bleeding hand hurried in and asked, “Is there a hospital around _________ I can get some medicine for my wounded hand”
A. that B. which C. where D. what
【陷阱】容易误选 B，认为 around 是介词，选 which 用以代替前面的名词 hospital，在此用作介词 around 的宾语。
【分析】佳答案为C。以上语法分析并不算错，但问题是，照此分析，此句的意思即为：有没有这样一个医院，我在它的附近可以买治我的手伤？这样的语境显然有点不合情理，因为人们通常是在医院里面治伤，而不是在医院附近治伤。此题选 C 的理由是：句中的 around 不是介词，而是副词，意为“在附近”；其后的 where 定语从句用以修饰其前的地点名词 hospital，句意为：附近有没有一家医院，我可以去治我的手伤？
3. Did is such a good boy _________ all the teachers like.
A. that B. who C. as D. whom
【陷阱】此题容易误选A，许多同学一看到题干中的such，再联系到选项中的 that，便认为这是考查such … that …句式。况且，这样理解意思也还通顺。
【分析】佳答案为C，不是A，因为在such … that … (如此……以至……)结构中，that 的是结果状语从句，并且 that 在从句中不充当句子成分，若在上句填入 such … that …，句末的动词 like 缺宾语。选C的理由如下：as 用作关系代词，用以定语从句，修饰其前的名词 boy，同时 as 在定语从句中用作动词 like 的宾语，句意为“所有老师都喜欢的一位好男孩”。有的同学可能还会问，假若选A，能否将其后的 that 视为定语从句的关系代词呢？不能，因为当先行词受到 such 的修饰时，其后的定语从句应用关系代词 as 来，而不用that。比较下面一题，答案为A，因为 like 后有自己的宾语 him：
Did is such a good boy _________ all the teachers like him.
A. that B. who C. as D. whom
请再做以下试题（答案选D）：
It was not such a good dinner _________ she had promised us.
A. like B. that C. which D. as 4. The buses, most of _________ were already full, were surrounded by an angry crowd.
A. that B. it C. them D. which
【陷阱】容易误选 C，用 them 代指 the buses。
【分析】佳答案是D。most of which were already full 为非限制性定语从句，修饰 the buses。类似地，以下各题也选D：
(1) His house, for _________ he paid $10, 000, is now worth $50, 000.
A. that B. it C. them D. which
(2) Ashdown forest, through _________ we’ll be driving, isn’t a forest any longer.
A. that B. it C. them D. which
(3) This I did at nine o’clock, after _________ I sat reading the paper.
A. that B. it C. them D. which
类似地，以下各题选 whom，不选 them：
(4) George, with _________ I played tennis on Sundays, was a warm-hearted person.
A. that B. him C. them D. whom
(5) Her sons, both of _________ work abroad, will come back home this summer.
A. that B. who C. them D. whom
(6) I met the fruit-pickers, several of _________ were still university students.
A. that B. who C. them D. whom
5. He had a lot of friends, only a few of _________ invited to his wedding.
A. whom B. them C. which D. who
陷阱】容易误选 A，认为这是非限制性定语从句。
【分析】佳答案是B，这不是非限制性定语从句，而是一个独立主格结构，因为空格后的动词 invited 并不是一个完整的谓语，而是一个过去分词。当然，假若在 invited 前加上助动词 were，则是一个非限制性定语从句，答案便应选A。比较：
(1) They put forward a lot of plans at the meeting, none of _________ carried out in their work.
A. which B. them C. what D. that
答案选B，none of them carried out in their work 是独立主格结构，其中的 carried out 为过去分词
(2) They put forward a lot of plans at the meeting, none of _________ were carried out in their work.
A. which B. them C. what D. that
答案选A，none of them were carried out in their work 是非限制性定语从句，注意与上例比较句中多了一个助动词were。
(3) They put forward a lot of plans at the meeting, but none of _________ were carried out in their work.
A. which B. them C. what D. that
答案选B，由于两句之间增加了一个并列连词but，使得该句成了一个并列句。
6. On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, _________ parents seated together joking.
A. their B. whose C. which D. that
【陷阱】容易误选B，认为这是非限制性定语从句。
【分析】佳答案是A。与上面一题相似，their parents seated together joking 不是非限制性定语从句，而是一个独立主格结构，因为空格后的动词 seated 不是谓语，而是一个过去分词，因为 seat 作动词用时，是及物动词。比较以下相似题：
(1) On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, _________ parents were seated together joking.
A. their B. whose C. which D. that
选B。whose parents were seated together joking 为非限制性定语从句，因为其后有完整的谓语 were seated。
(2) On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, and _________ parents were seated together joking.
A. their B. whose C. which D. that
选A。因为句中有并列连词and，整个句子为并列句。
(3) On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, _________ parents sitting together joking.
A. their B. whose C. which D. that
选A。their parents sitting together joking 为独立主格结构。
(4) On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, _________ parents sat together joking.
A. their B. whose C. which D. that
选B。whose parents sat together joking 为非限制性定语从句，因为句中有完整的谓语 sat。
(5) On Sundays there were a lot of children playing in the park, _________ parents were sitting together joking.
A. their B. whose C. which D. that
选B。whose parents were sitting together joking 为非限制性定语从句，因为句中有完整的谓语 were sitting。
7. If the man is only interested in your looks, _________ just shows how shallow he is.
A. as B. which C. what D. that
【陷阱】容易误选A或B，误这是非限制性定语从句。
【分析】正确答案为D，注意逗号前是一个条件状语从句，逗号后是该状语从句的主句，that 在此代表前文所述的情况，用作主句的主语。类似地，下面几道题也选 that，而不选 which：
(1) If you promise to go with us, _________ will be OK.
A. as B. which C. and it D. that
(2) If you want a double room, _________ will cost another ￡15.
A. as B. which C. what D. that
(3) Whether you go or not, _________ is quite all right with me.
A. that B. which C. and it D. so
(4) When I say two hours, _________ includes time for eating.
A. as B. which C. what D. that

高中的定语从句
定语从句，一个简单句跟在一名词或代词后(先行词)进行修饰限定，就叫做定语从句。下面要为大家分享的就是高中的定语从句，希望你会喜欢！
高中英语定语从句知识点
(一)定语从句一般由关系代词和关系副词
1、关系代词:who, whom, whose, which, that, as
2、关系副词:when, where, why
关系代词和关系副词必须位于从句之首,主句先行词之后,起着连接先行词和从句的作用, 同时在从句中又充当句子成分。
e.g. She is the girl who sings best of all.(关系代词who在从句中作主语)
The comrade with whom I came knows French.(whom在从句中作介词with的宾语)
3、关系代词和关系副词的用法:1)当先行词为人时用who 作主语,whom作宾语;2)当先行词为物或整个句子时用which ,可作主语或宾语;3)先行词为人、物时用that ,可作主语或宾语;4)whose用作定语,可指人或物;5)关系副词when(指时间,在定语从句中作时间状语,where(指地点,在定语从句中作地点状语),why(指原因,在定语从句中作原因状语)。
(二)限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句
1、限制性定语从句:从句与主句关系密切,去掉从句,主句意义不完整,甚至不合逻辑。
e.g. I was the only person in our office who was invited.(去掉定语从句,意思就不完整)
2、非限制性定语从句:从句对先行词关系不密切,去掉定从句,意思仍然完整。形式上用逗号隔开,不能that用。
e.g. Tom's father, who is over sixty, still works hard day and night.(who非限制性定语从句,整个句子可分成两句来翻译)
(三)使用定语从句时特别注意的几个问题
1、that与which的区别。
1)用that而不用 which的情况:①先行词为不定代词all, anything, nothing, …;②先行词有修饰,有序数词修饰;③先行词有only, very, any等词修饰;④先行词既有人又有物时。

2)用which而不用 that的情况:①非限制性定语从句;②代表整个主句的意思;③介词 + 关系代词。
e.g. He had failed in the maths exam, which made his father very angry. 他数学考试没有及格,这使他的'父亲很生气。
This is the room in which my father lived last year. 这是父亲去年居住过的房子。
3)as定语从句时的用法

e.g. I want the same shirt as my friend's. 我要一件跟我朋友一样的衬衫。
Such machines as are used in our workshop are made in China. 我们车间使用的这种机器是制造的。
②as非限制性定语从句既可放在主句之前,也可放在主句之后,用来修饰整个句子。通常用下列句型:as is known to all, as is said, as is reported, as is announced, as we all know, as I expect 等。
e.g. As I expected, he got the first place again in this mid-term examination. 正如我所预料的那样,他在这次期中考试中又获得了第一名。
3)as 非限制性定语从句时与which的区别
①当主句和从句语义一致时,用as;反之,用which来非限制性定语从句。
e.g. He made a long speech, as we expected.
He made a long speech, which was unexpected.
②当非限制定语从句为否定时,常用which。
e.g. Tom drinks a lot every day, which his wife doesn't like at all.
2. 关系代词在从句中作主语时,从句的谓语动词单数还是用复数应由先行词决定。
e.g. The man who lives downstairs speaks English fluently. 住在楼下的那个人英语说得很流利。
The students who are in Grade Three are going to climb the hill tomorrow.
3.定语从句有时不直接紧靠先行词,中间由一个定语、状语或谓语隔开。
e.g. There is an expression in his eyes that I can't understand.
4. 定语从句的关系副词有时可以用"介词 + which"来代替。
e.g. October 1, 1949 was the day on which ( = when ) the People's Republic of China was founded.
5. 当定语从句中谓语动词是带介词或副词的固定短语动词时,短语动词的各个固定部分不要拆开。
e.g. The sick man whom she is looking after is her father.
6. 介词在关系代词前,只能用which和whom,且不能省略;介词在句尾,关系代词可有which, that, whom, 口语中也可用who,且可省略。

高中英语语法之定语从句讲解
定语从句是由关系代词和关系副词的从句,其作用是作定语修饰主句的某个成分,定语从句分为限定性和非限定性从句两种.状语从句分为时间状语从句,结果状语从句,让步状语从句,原因状语从句,条件状语从句以及行为方式状语从句.名词从句包括主语从句,宾语从句,表语从句和同位语从句及there be句型.
一、 限定性定语从句
1. that即可代表事物也可代表人,which代表事物；它们在从句中作主语或宾语,that在从句中作宾语时常可省略关系词,which在从句中作宾语则不能省略.而且,如果which在从句中作“不及物动词＋介词”的介词的宾语,注意介词不要丢掉,而且介词总是放在关系代词which的前边,但有的则放在它原来的位置
2. which作宾语时,根据先行词与定语从句之间的语义关系,先行词与which之间的介词不能丢
3. 代表物时多用which,但在带有下列词的句子中用that而不用which,这些词包括all, anything, much等,这时的that常被省略
4. who和whom的从句用来修饰人,分别作从句中的主语和宾语,whom作宾语时,要注意它可以作动词的宾语也可以作介词的宾语
5. where是关系副词,用来表示地点的定语从句
6. when定语从句表示时间
〔注〕值得一提的是,表示时间“time"一词的定语从句只用when,有时不用任何关系代词,当然也不用that
By the time you arrive in London, we will he stayed there for two weeks.
I still remember the first time I met her.
Each time he goes to besiness trip, he brings a lot of living necessities, such as towers, soap, toothbrush etc.
7. whose是关系代词,修饰名词作定语,相当于所修饰成分的前置所有格
8. 当从句的逻辑主语是some, any, no, somebody, anybody, nobody, something, anything, everything或nothing时,常用there is来
二、非限定性定语从句：非限定性定语从句的作用是对所修饰的成分作进一步说明,通常和主句间用逗号隔开,将从句拿掉后其他部分仍可成立
1. which的非限定性定语从句来说明前面整个句子的情况或主句的某一部分
2. 在限定性定语从句时,that有时相当于in which, at which, for which或at which
Attitudes towards daydreaming are changing in much the same way that(in which) attitudes towards night dreaming he changed. 人们对白日做梦的态度正在改变,这与人们对夜间做梦的看法的变化有非常相似之处.
I like the music for the very reason that(for which) he dislike it. 我出于某种原因喜欢这种音乐,而他恰恰与我相反.
We arrived the day that(on which) they left. 刚好我们到的那天他们走了.
3. 有时as也可用作关系代词
4. 在非限定性定语从句中,不能用that,而用who, whom代表人,用which代表事物
三、定语从句结构错误
1. 缺关系词
2. 从句中缺成分
摘自《简明英语语法》
在英文中,有两种定语从句：限定性定语从句与非限定性定语从句.这两种定语从句在其功能和形式方面都有明显的区别：
限定性定语从句限定性定语从句与主句的关系很紧奏,对其先行词起限定、修饰的作用.如果将其去掉,会影响句子意思的完整性；有时甚至于引起费解、误解.例如：
Rainforests are being cleared for valuable timber and other resources to speed up the economic growth of the nationsin which they are located .
为了加速他们各自所在的经济发展,热带雨林作为有价值的原木和其他资源正为人们所砍伐.
Ocean currents affect the climates of the lands near which they flow.
洋流影响其流经的附近地区的气候.
They explained the reason to us why they had hated us before.
他们向我们解释为什么他们不喜欢我们的原因.
非限定性定语从句非限定性定语从句在形式上就与主句很松散,它与主句之间有一个逗点","隔开；它对其先行词没有限定、修饰的作用,只起补充、说明的作用.有时也用它来对全句进行补充、说明.即使将其去掉,也不会影响句子意思.由于上述原因,非限定性定语从句在表达意思方面也有别于限定性定语从句.另外,非限定性定语从句在中文译文里,我们往往将其作为一个分句处理,而不把它作定语翻译. 例如：Earlier , the Babylonians had attempted to map the world , but they presented it in the form of a flattened disc rather than a sphere , which was the form adopted by Ptolemy .
（此句中,非限定性定语从句是对先行词a sphere进行补充、说明.）
更早之前,巴比伦人曾试图绘制世界地图,但是他们把它绘制成平盘状而不是托勒密所采用的球体状.
The bination of satellites, which tran it information , puters , which store information , and television , which displays information , will change every home into an education and entertainment center .
（此句中,三个非限定性定语从句分别对三个先行词：satellites ,puters和television进行补充、说明.如果去掉这三个非限定性定语从句,那么句子可简化为：
The bination of satellites , puters and television will change every home into an education and entertainment center .）卫星能传输信息,计算机能储存信息,电视能显示信息,把这些手段结合起来可以使每个家庭都成为教育娱乐的中心.
The sun heats the earth , which makes it possible for plants to grow .（此句中,非限定性定语从句是对全句进行补充、说明,将全句表达的意思看成"一件事情）.太阳给予大地热,这就使植物的生长成为可能.
The old man has a son , who is in the army .（此句中,非限定性定语从句是对先行词son进行补充、说明.但本句所传达的信息是："这位老人只有一个儿子" .如果将此句改写成限定性定语从句：
The old man has a son who is in the army . 那位老人有一个在部队工作的儿子.那么,限定性定语从句就要对先行词son进行限定、修饰.这样一来,句子所传达的信息就变成了："这位老人有一个儿子在部队工作,还有其他的儿子在干别的工作".）那位老人有一个儿子,他在部队工作.
高中定语从句讲解(2)
用关系代词还是关系副词定语从句主要看关系词在定语从句中的作用（即所担当的成分）。试比较：
A.Iknowaplacewherewecanheapicnic.我知道一个我们可以野炊的地方。
Iknowaplacewhich/thatisfamousforiteautifulnaturalscenery.我知道一个以自然景色优美而闻名的地方。
B.Iwillneverforgetthedayswhenwespentourholidaystogether.我永远忘不了我们一起 度假的日子。
Iwillneverforgetthedaysthat/whichwespenttogether.我永远忘不了我们一起度过的日子。
C.Thisisthereasonwhyhewasdiissed.这就是他被解雇的原因。
Thisisthereasonthat/whichheexplainedtomeforhisnotattendingthemeeting.这就是他向我解释的他没有参加会议的原因。
（五） but 有时也用作关系词定语从句。如：
Thereareveryfewbutadmirehistalents. 很少有人不赞赏他的才干的。（but=whodon’t）
（六）定语从句与同位语从句的区别
1．定语从句修饰限定先行词，它与先行词是修饰关系；同位语从句说明先行词的具体内容，它与先行词是同位关系。
TheplanethathasjusttakenoffisforParis.（定语从句）刚刚起飞的那架飞机是开往巴黎的。
Thefactthathehasalreadydiedisquiteclear.（同位语从句）他已经了，这个事实很明了。
2．定语从句由关系代词或关系副词，关系词在从句中担当相应的句子成分，关系代词在从句中作宾语时经常可省略。同位语从句主要由连词that，在从句中一般不担当成分；有时也由where,when,how,who,whether,what等连词，这些连词则在从句中担当成分。
Thenewsthathetoldmeistrue.（定语从句）他告诉我的消息是真的。
Thenewsthathehasjustdiedistrue.（同位语从句）他刚刚了，这个消息是真的。
Theproblemthatwearefacingnowishowwecancollectsomuchmoney.(定语从句)我们现在面临的问题是如何筹集这么多资金。
Theproblemhowwecancollectsomuchmoneyisdifficulttosolve.（同位语从句）我们如何筹集这么多资金，这个问题很难解决。
Thequestionthatheraisedpuzzledallofus.（定语从句）他提出的问题让我们很为难。
Thequestionwhetherheissuretowinthegameishardtoanswer.（同位语从句）他是否一定会赢得那场比赛，这个问题很难回答。
3．同位语从句与先行词一般可以用动词be发展成一个完整的句子,而定语从句则不能。如：
A.Theideathathewecouldasktheteacherforadviceiswonderful.（同位语从句）我们可以向老师请教，这个主意不错。
Theideawasthatwecouldasktheteacherforadvice.
B.Thefactthattheearthmovesaroundthesunisknowntoall.（同位语从句）地球围绕太阳转，这个事实人人皆知。
Thefactisthattheearthmovesaroundthesun.
C.Payattentiontotheproblemhowwecanprotectthewildanimals.（同位语从句）请注意如何保护野生动物这个问题。
Theproblemishowwecanprotectthewildanimals.

答案与简析：
1. B。当先行词被such修饰时，定语从句用as，即构成结构为"such+（a/an）＋形容词＋名词＋as"的定语从句，意为"......像......一样的"。整个句子意为：这些房屋以人们原来估计的那样低的价格出售。
2. A。由so interesting a story = such an interesting story和上面一题的解释便可得知答案。as在定语从句中作宾语。整句意为：我从未听说过像你告诉我那样有趣的故事。
3. A
4. C。当先行词被same修饰时，定语从句由that或as，但意思不同。用that定语从句指同一物，而用as定语从句指同类事物。
5. A。做此题的关键是要知道I think在定语从句中作插入语，做题时将其去掉便可容易得到答案。
6. B。As在此非限制性定语从句，代表它所修饰的整个句子内容，并且它可放在所修饰句子的前、中或后面。其常见结构如：as you know, as is said above, as is often the case（情况经常是这样）等。如选A，则需将逗号改为that；如选D，则需将逗号改为is that。
7. A。当先行词为the first time, the last time等时，定语从句的词用that而不用when。
8. A。当先行词为way时，定语从句的词用that或in which, 也可省略。
