Chapter 2 修饰性从句(Day 2)

从句概论

从句就是从属于主句的句子,是指用一个完整的句子来充当主句中的成分。从句可以作主语、宾语、表语、定语、状语和同位语;谓语必须是动词,不能用从句充当。从句在主句中作什么成分就叫做什么从句,所以也就相应地有主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句、定语从句、状语从句和同位语从句。其中主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句、同位语从句都是名词性的 ,我们把它们统称为名词性从句;而定语从句和状语从句可统称为修饰性从句。

从句是一个完整的句子结构,所以必须有主谓宾,为了把从句和主句区分开,从句前面还需要有引导词。

我们在遇到从句时需要判断从句的起止,以及从句与主句的关系。

从哪开始: 从引导词开始。

到哪结束: 从句必须有完整的主谓宾才能够结束;而且因为一个从句只能有一个谓语 ,所以必须在第二个谓语动词前结束。

从句和主句的关系: 即从句在主句中充当什么成分。

总论中还提到过,成分的位置相对固定,所以我们可以根据从句的位置来判断从句在主句中充当什么成分,是什么从句。不同从句的引导词的用法也不尽相同,我们还可以根据从句的引导词和引导词在从句中充当什么成分来判断从句的类型。以下会分别介绍各个从句的位置及引导词的特征。

定语从句

定语从句,即从句在主句中作定语。

作用: 修饰名词

位置: 在被修饰的名词之后(这个名词叫做定语从句的先行词)

常见引导词: 代词that, which, who, whom

形容词whose

副词when, where, why

代词性的引导词要在从句中作名词性成分——主语或宾语。

注意: that可以引导各种从句,但是只有在定语从句中that充当名词性成分,作主语或宾语。

状语从句

状语从句,即从句在主句中作状语。

作用: 主要是修饰谓语动词

位置: 在主谓结构(可以是主句的或从句的)之前或者之后。

常见引导词: 时间状语从句:when, before, after, until

地点状语从句:where

原因状语从句:because, since, as, for

结果状语从句:so...that, such...that

条件状语从句:if, only if, whether, unless, when, as, as long as, once, provided that

让步状语从句:although, though, even if, even though, while, whereas,

granted that, -ever(whatever, however)

例句

Many critics of Emily Bronte’s novel Wuthering Heights see its second part as a counterpoint that comments on, if it does not reverse, the first part, where a“romantic” reading receives more confirmation.

句子分析程序

①介词后必须跟名词构成介宾短语,我们通常把这个名词叫做介词的宾语,并不是整个句子即谓语动词的宾语。

很多{勃朗特的小说《呼啸山庄》的}评论家认为小说的第二部分是一个对应物,{这个对应物评价了[如果不是反对了]小说的第一部分,[在第一部分一种浪漫主义的阅读得到了更多的确认]}。

逻辑关系

从counterpoint看出强调了第二部分和第一部分的关系:1.第二部分评论了第一部分;2.第一部分比第二部分有更多的(more)浪漫主义。

In the early 1950s, historians who studied preindustrial Europe(which we may define here as Europe in the period from roughly 1300 to 1800)began, for the first time in large numbers, to investigate more of the preindustrial European population than the 2 or 3 percent who comprised the political and social elite:the kings, generals, judges, nobles, bishops, and local magnates who had hitherto usually filled history books.

从20世纪50年代早期,{研究工业化前的欧洲的(我们把工业化前的欧洲定义为1300~1800这段时间的欧洲)}历史学家开始{第一次大规模地}研究工业化前欧洲的总人口而不是2%~3%的人,{这些人组成了政治和社会的精英即:国王、将军、法官、贵族、主教以及地方上的达官显贵,[正是这部分人一直以来普遍充斥着历史书]}。

逻辑关系

句中的more of...than标志着非常重要的比较关系,历史学家从20世纪50年代早期开始更多地研究人民群众而不是少数精英,那20世纪50年代之前研究什么呢?从who had hitherto usually filled history books判断出正是这些精英。
