1.4 关系形容词whose

whose用作关系词表示属格,也可以看作是关系形容词,因为它必须后面接一个名词连用,不能单独使用。比如:

29 Aimlessness has hardly been typical of the postwar Japan whose productivity and social harmony are the envy of the United States and Europe.(2000年阅读第四篇)

妙语点睛 这里whose接名词短语productivity and social harmony。

精品译文 二战后,日本的目标一直很明确,其生产力与社会和谐令美国和欧洲羡慕。

30 At the same time, the American Law Institute—a group of judges, lawyers, and academics whose recommendations carry substantial weight—issued new guidelines for tort law stating that companies need not warn customers of obvious dangers or bombard them with a lengthy list of possible ones.(1999年阅读第一篇)

妙语点睛 这里whose接名词recommendations。

精品译文 与此同时,美国法律研究所(成员有法官、律师和学者,他们的建议分量极重)发布了新的侵权法令指导方针,宣称公司不必提醒顾客注意显而易见的危险,也不必连篇累牍地一再请他们注意一些可能会出现的危险。

真题再现: 1995年改错

31 It is perhaps not an exaggeration to say (A) that we shall soon be trusting (B)our health, wealth and happiness to elements with whom (C) very names the general public are (D)unfamiliar.

正确答案 C,改为whose。

妙语点睛 因为这里有名词短语very names,故要用whose来引导定语从句。

精品译文 可以毫不夸张地讲,在不久的将来,我们可能会把我们的健康、财富和幸福托付给那些连名字我们都不熟悉的因素。 Z2EXodLJGjR9fLC4LVwHRYkqf7Q1fKPQAmOVMK0fUjJDMQ7oronVh3CGgLZbk3gO
