名介搭配的第一种情况是 真正意义上的固定搭配 关系。我们以access to搭配为例，把它分别置于主句及从句中，于是得出下面1C和2C结构：
1C. （主）名介（主）搭配，即主句中介词搭配主句中的名词（ access to + wh-）
2C. （从）名介（从）搭配，即从句中介词搭配从句中的名词（ to wh- … access ）
请看例句：
a. We have no sure access to what they thought and how they felt about things.
b. This is the report to which he was denied access.
我们看到，虽然两句中都含有“to wh-”（to what和to which）结构，但to来源不同，断句分别为：
a. We have no sure access to [what they thought and how they felt about things]. （我们无法确切了解他们对事物的想法和感受。）
b. This is the report [ to which he was denied access ]. （这就是当时没让他看的那份报告。）
可见，a句中的to来自主句，与主句中名词access搭配；而b句中的to来自从句，与从句中名词access搭配，但被前置了，我们可以把to放回到access后边，因此，b句可以改写成：
b1. This is the report [which he was denied access to ].
从句类型分别是：a句的what they thought and how they felt about things是两个并列的宾语从句，作介词to的宾语，且是名疑；b句的to which he was denied access是定语从句，修饰report。这里有deny双宾语句式搭配deny somebody access to something，意思是“拒绝让某人接触某东西”。
下面来看考研真题中的相关句子：
真题 They should exhibit strong interest and respect for whatever currently interests their fledging adult （as naive or ill conceived as it may seem） while becoming a partner in exploring options for the future. （2007年Part B）
解析 断句如下：
a. … respect for [whatever currently interests their fledging adult]
这里for whatever属于1C型，即主句介词（for）搭配主句名词（respect），来自respect for X搭配，意为“尊重X”。括号中的whatever （=anything that）引导的从句作for的宾语，故为宾语从句，且为名词性定语从句，相当于说：
b. … respect for anything [ that currently interests their fledging adult]
另外还有两个分别由as和while引导的从句，都修饰主句，而不是修饰whatever从句。
一是as倒装句表示让步含义：
as naive or ill conceived as it may seem
= although it may seem naive or ill conceived
其中it指代whatever从句的内容，也即年轻人感兴趣的事物。
二是，这里while引导的时间状语从句while becoming a partner in exploring options for the future是非限定性分句（指由非谓语动词构成的分句，它不能独立成句，必须依附于主句。由于没有限定动词，即没有时态变化，它通常用来表示伴随动作、原因、目的、结果等），改为限定性的从句就是：
=while they become a partner in exploring options for the future
译文 他们（即家长们）应该对刚成年的子女们当下感兴趣的任何事物都要表现出浓厚的兴趣和尊重（尽管他们的兴趣看起来或许很天真或考虑不周全），同时家长们也要帮助他们探索未来的选择。
真题 There is an important law of which government bureaucracies would take cognisance if good government were their aim: that once a method of measurement is used to set a target, it becomes so corrupted that what it measures bears no relation to what it is supposed to measure. （2019年英语一翻译）
解析 断句如下：
a. There is an important law [ of which government bureaucracies would take cognisance if good government were their aim]
这里of which属于2C型，即从句介词（of）搭配从句名词（cognisance），来自take cognisance of搭配，意为“认识到，注意到”。介词of被前置了，可以后置写成：
b. There is an important law [which government bureaucracies would take cognisance of if good government were their aim]
括号中的定语从句修饰先行词law，可以还原成：
Government bureaucracies would take cognisance of the law (=of which) if good government were their aim.
另外，冒号后边的that从句that once … to measure，是同位语从句，补充说明law。也就是说，先行词law后边既有of which … 引导的定语从句，又有that引导的同位语从句。在同位语从句中又嵌套了once引导的时间状语从句、so … that … 引导的结果状语从句；结果状语从句中又嵌套了what引导的主语从句what it measures和宾语从句what it is supposed to measure。可见，该句有多个从句嵌套。顺便说一下，本句出自2019年英语一翻译的出处原文中，命题人删去了该句。
译文 有一个重要规律，那就是：一旦某个考评方法被用来设定目标，那么这个方法就会被过度使用，进而导致所考评的结果与本应该考评的内容毫无关系。政府部门若是想好好管理，就应该注意到这个规律。
在上文中，我们讲解了名介搭配的第一种情况，而名介搭配的另外两种情况其实并非（像上面的access to搭配那样）是真正意义上的固定搭配关系，而是都与介词of的用法有关。具体来说，of可以表达 数量关系 （或者说是部分与整体关系，故用part of wh-来标记）、 同位语关系 （如the issue of wh-）及 所属关系 （如the name of which）。在下一节我们先来讲数量关系。
