一 名词性从句
名词性从句在本质上是将句子当成名词使用
名词在句中充当四种成分:主语、表语、宾语、和同位语
A 主语从句
,名词性从句 从句引导词 例句
主语从句 that,wh-词,if(if 不能位于句首) 1 It doesn’t matter whether/ if people will buy it.
2 What happened on that day will be forever etched in our memory.
3 Why dinosaurs became extinct is still a mystery.
宾语从句 that, wh-词,if 1 He is quite aware of how risky this investment is.
2 The report made it clear that parties involved are trying every effort to solve the problem of pollution.
表语从句 that, wh-词 1 What I particularly dislike about this lesson is that it is really boring.
2 That’s why most divorced women regard themselves as victims.
同位语从句 that, whether, wh-词 1 Evidence came up that specific speech sounds are recognized by babies as young as 6 months old.
2They faced the problem whether they could get the loan from the bank.
Sliver stains whatever it touches.
1 that 引导的主语从句:@that 主语从句谓语句首 @ it 作形式主语+ that 主语从句位于句末 。二者可相互转换。
Eg That oil prices will rise a gain this year is nearly certain.
改写成it 作形式主语:It is nearly certain that oil prices will rise again this year.
It is certain that the experiments were unsuccessful.
改写成that 句型: That the experiments were unsuccessful is certain.
Exercise: 我们期待明天明天会下雨。
We expect that it will rain tomorrow._____ That it will rain tomorrow is expected by us.
2 what 引导的主语从句
@What 在主语从句中主语
Eg What most touches me in this movie is the silent ending.
Eg What happened on that day will be forever etched in our memory.
@What 在主语从句中作宾语
Eg I can’t imagine what he will do next.
Exercise:吸引我的他们所展示的风度。
———What attracts me is the manner they have showed.
3 同位语从句
The tragic news reached her that her beloved brother had been killed for anti-Nazi activities.
辨别与关系从句的区别
Eg They were all shocked at the news that was released just a few minutes ago
Exercise: 他是个骗子的事实已被证实。——The fact that he is a liar is proved.
二名词性从句从的简化
1 That 引导的主语从句的简化(可以简化为带逻辑主语的动名词分句)
@That 引导的主语从句位于句首
Eg That he couldn’t come disappointed us. ——His not being able to come disappointed us.
@That 引导的主语从句位于句末
It was estimated that he won the game.
Exercise :改写——His wining the game was estimated.
2 从句的简化
①宾语从句简化为动名词分句
Eg He complained that the project wasn’t finished on time。___________He complained of the project not being finished on time.
Point :that 引导的主、宾语从句简化为带逻辑主语的动名词分句的四部
a 确定主语:如果从句中的主语与主句中的主语不一致,则可以考虑转换为带逻辑主语的动名词结构。
b 确定谓语:再看谓语接宾语时有无必要增加介词。
c 确定动名词:将从句中的谓语改为动名词。
d确定动名词的逻辑主语。
@正式语体中,如果逻辑主语是代词,用所有格 如his; 非正式语体中可用宾格 如him
@如果逻辑主语是无生命词,如government, 用普通格形式,如government
@如果逻辑主语是有生命的单数名词,如the man,用普通格形式, the man.
@如果逻辑主语是复数名词或较长的词组,用普通格。
Eg He knew the unemployment figure had been on the rise in recent years. P218
__________ I knew the unemployment figure being on the rise in recent years.
Eg Some parents object that the school assigns students too much homework.
___________ Some parents object to the school assigning students too much homework.
Exercise He informed the police that some documents were missing.
_________He informed the police of some documents missing
②宾语从句简化为不定式分句。P218
•在有that 引导的宾语从句中, 从句的主语与主句的主语相同。
•在what-词引导的宾语从句中,从句的主语与主句的主语相同。
•在所有可简化的宾语从句中,从句中的谓语往往含有情态或将来时意义。
Eg He hopes he can pursue further studies in this filed abroad. ___________He hopes to pursue further studies in this filed abroad.
Eg She can’t decide whether she should vote for Clint. __________She can’t decide whether to vote for Clint.
Exercise: I expect that I can finish the task within this week.____ I expect to finish the task within this week.
③ 同位语从句的简化
•由that 引导的同位语从句可简化为带逻辑主语的动名词分句。和上面的将宾语从句简化为动名词分句规律相似。
•转换时,在同位语所修饰的名词后加上介词of /to或 about, 以表示同位语关系。
Eg There is a possibility that the wooden houses will catch fire easily.
__________ There is a possibility of the wooden houses catching fire easily.
Exercise: There is no evidence that he is guilty. ________There is no evidence of his being guilty.
