Jasper White is one of those rare people who believe in ancient myths. he has just bought a new house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars and their owners. When he returns home at night, he always finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate. Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once. Jasper has put up 'No Parking' signs outside his gate, but these have not had any effect. Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate. It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen. I asked him what it was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon. jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to stone. But none of them has been turned to stone yet!

例子中的who便是关系代词，这个关系 代词也可以理解成人的脐带，将子句和 母句联系到一起。所以这关系代词也是 紧挨着先行词的。
我们看看关系词，我们得搞清楚什么时候用 什么关系词， 关系词分关系代词和关系副词，关系词通常 在定语从句中充当成分的， 当关系词在句子中作状语的时候便用关系副 词 引导定语从句的关系词有关系代词 who, whom, whose, that, which, as 关系副词 when, where, why
Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate. on 接触在上面 over 悬挂在上面
It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen. I have ever seen 做定语从句, 修饰前边的 faces 如果关系词在从句中做宾语, 关系词可以省略, 所以 I 前的that被省略 This is the most difficult thing I have ever done. This is the most terrible news I have ever heard.
比较下列两语的不同涵义： I believe him． （=I believe what he says） 我相信他（的话）。 I believe in him． （=I trust him ） 我相信他是一个可以信得过的人。 （即：我信任他）
英语定语从句
要了解定语从句，我们先得明白定语是啥 a pretty girl a girl in red a girl standing in the platform a girl who is standing in the platform is lucy
他去年离开了这座村庄，从那以后一直没有回去过。
2 have trouble doing 做...有麻烦 have trouble with sb.
和某人相处有麻烦
I have trouble with my roommate.
When he returns home at night, he always finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate. in the morning 每天早晨 in the afternoon 每天下午 at night 每天晚上 park a car 停车
彩色部分便都是定语，定语通常是修饰名词，如果 定语是一个词并且能完整表达一个意思，定语便放 在被修饰词前面，否则就放后面，
定语可以是一个形容词（pretty）， 可以是介词短语（in red）， 也可以是分词短语 （standing in the platform）， 也可以是一个句子 （who is standing in the platform）， 而当定语是一个句子时，这个句子就是 定语从句。
Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once because of 由于 because 的后面加句子
because of 的后面加名词或动词 “-ing
be able to 的主语一般都是人, 表示 有能力去做

rare animal 稀有动物 rare bird 珍稀鸟类 rare illness 疑难杂症
ancient adj. 古代的, 古老的
• ancient Egypt 古埃及
• This is an ancient parable. • 这是一个古老的寓言。
由于定语从句是一个句子，所以都 是放在被修饰词的后面，我们还给 这个被修饰的词起了个名字，先行 词，因为修饰她的句子还在后面， 她先出现的。
我们在说说定语从句，在英语中有个规 定就是一个句子中只能有一个谓语，就 好比我们人只能有一个心脏。那么句子 有个子句的时候便可以有两个谓语了， 这时候我们便需要一个东西来标志其子 句特征，就是关系代词。
