4) 介词+定语从句引导词which / whom:

当定语从句引导词作介词的宾语时,可以将介词提到引导词前,以强调介词和引导词的介宾关系;介词+which / whom在从句中作状语或定语;有些情况下,介词+which相当于where / when / why。如:

The man with whom you talked is an expert in earthquakes.(with whom在从句中作状语修饰谓语动词talked)

That’s the gate at which the young woman was picked up by some strangers.(at which=where, 在从句中作状语修饰谓语动词was picked up)

The day on which Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest.(on which=when,在从句中作状语修饰谓语动词helped)

I can’t tell you the reason for which she insists on doing that.(for which=why,在从句中作状语修饰谓语动词insists)

The shelters took in thousands of flood survivors, many of whom / of whom many suffered from malaria.(of whom在从句中作定语修饰many)

The house of which the windows / the windows of which are open was broken into by burglars. (of which在从句中修饰定语the windows) = The house whose windows are open was broken…

5) 定语从句的分类:

(1) 限定定语从句:

起着界定先行词的身份,而不至与同类人或事物混淆的定语从句,一般不用逗号和主句隔开。如:

One of my brothers who is in the army now used to be an art student. 我一个现在当兵的兄弟学过艺术。(定语从句界定one of my brothers的身份:有多个兄弟,这里指的是当兵的兄弟)

The travellers who had already been informed about the flood stopped their journey. 那些已经获悉洪灾的路人暂停了行程。(只有获悉洪灾的路人才终止了行程,没有获悉洪灾的路人并没有暂停其行程。)

(2) 非限定定语从句:

不起界定先行词的身份作用,因为先行词身份已经为读者或听话人所确定而不会混淆(要么由于同类只有其一个,或者上下文已经让读者或听话人明确其身份),而是起着给先行词增加信息的作用。一般要用逗号和主句隔开。不能用that引导非限定定语从句。

My brother, who is in the army now, used to be an artist. 我兄弟学过艺术,他现在当兵。(只有一个兄弟)

The travellers, who had already been informed about the flood, stopped their journey. 由于路人们已经获悉了洪灾,他们都暂停了行程。(所有的路人们都终止了其行程,用从句顺便说明一下其原因)
