六 . 错认先行词
1. I was the only one in the office that was invited to the party.
2. Do you remember one afternoon in America where a terrible earthquake took place?
分析:一般来说,先行词后面紧跟着关系词,其次再跟定语从句。但有时出于意思上的需要而在先行词和关系词之间插入了其他成分。在这种情况下确定哪一个是先行词,便是正确理解句子的关键。在句 1 中,先行词是 the only one 而不是 the office 。因此应将 that 改为 who ,以免引起误解。在句 2 中,先行词是 one afternoon 而不是 America ,故应将 where 改为 when 。
七 . 不注重固定搭配
1. Such person like him can't be depended on.
2. He went to the same university which his brother did.
分析:当先行词被 such 或 the same 修饰时,其后的定语从句常由 as 引导,因此, such … as 和 the same … as 是固定搭配。所以,应将句中 1 中的 like 改为 as ;将句 2 中的 which 改为 as 。
八 . 误用 as 和 which
1. Bamboo is hollow, as makes it very light.
2. Which we all know, the earth is round.
分析: as 和 which 用来引导定语从句时,它们之间的区别在于:引导定语从句的 as 可以放到主句前面也可以放到主句后面,而引导定语从句的 which 只能放到主句后面。 as 引导的定语从句表示“正像……那样,正如……。例如: as is often the case (这是常有的事), as we all can see (我们可以看得见), as is known to all (大家都知道), as has been pointed out (正如所指出的那样), as is announced (正如所宣布的那样)。因此句 1 中的 as 应改为 which , which 在意思上指前面整个主句的内容,如果用 as ,无论从意思上看还是搭配上看都不对;句 2 中的 which 应改为 as 。
