"which"是英语中常用的关系代词,用于名词性从句中,可以代替从句中的名词或整个从句。当代替事物时,"which"通常用于限定先行词;当代替整个从句时,"which"通常用于非限定性从句,并且前面需要加逗号。正确使用"which"可以使英语表达更准确、流畅。
- 作为代替事物的关系代词
当which作为代替事物的关系代词时,通常用于限定先行词。例如:
- The book, which I borrowed from the library, is very interesting. (我从图书馆借来的这本书很有趣。)
- The car which my father bought last month is very expensive. (我父亲上个月买的那辆车非常贵。)
在这两个例子中,which代替了从句中的"book"和"car"。
- 作为代替整个从句的关系代词
当which作为代替整个从句的关系代词时,通常用于非限定性从句。例如:
- My sister, who is a doctor, is coming to visit me next week. (我妹妹,她是一名医生,下周要来看我。)
- The hotel, which was built last year, is very beautiful. (这家酒店是去年建的,非常漂亮。)
在这两个例子中,which代替了整个从句"who is a doctor"和"which was built last year"。
需要注意的是,作为代替整个从句的关系代词which前面通常需要加上逗号。
