whose 在定语从句中的用法
whose 是定语从句中一个常用的关系代词,表\" …… 的\"之意;它可以指\"人的\",也可以指\"物的\";既可以引导限制性定语从句,也可以引导非限制性定语从句。
〖思维一〗whose + n . 可作主语,宾语,功能与which , whom (who )相同。
如:
Mr King , whose legs were badly hurt , was quickly taken to hospital . The boss in whose department Mr King worked had heard about the accident .
〖思维二〗whose 既可引导限制性定语从句,又可引导非限制性定语从句。
如:
My uncle whose office we have just passed , is a lawyer . 我的叔叔是个律师,刚才我们经过他的办公室。
Once there was a wise king whose name was Alfred . 从前有一个叫阿尔弗雷德的英国国王。
〖思维三〗whose 代指\"……的\",既可以指人,也可以指物。
如:Look at the building , whose roof is white . 看那栋楼,楼顶的颜色是白的。
The girl lives in the house , whose windows face south . 那个女孩住在这所房子里,房子的窗户是朝南开的。
〖思维四〗whose 表所属关系指物时,可与of which 转换,词序一
般是:名词+ of which
Look at the building , the roof of which ( = whose roof )is white .
The girl lives in the house , the windows of which ( = whose windows )face south .
〖思维五〗whose 不可与of which (whom )转换的情况。
当of 不具有\"所属\"含义时,(如在hear of , be proud of , be fond of , be full of 等短语中,of 均不表\"所属\"关系),只能用of which (whom) 或which (whom , who )… of ,切不可盲目用whose 。
如:
Mary has been married to a scientist of whom you may have heard . (… < who / whom > you may have heard of … .) 玛丽嫁给了一位科学家,你可能听说过这个人。
She has a clever boy of whom she is proud .她有一个为之骄傲的聪明儿子。
〖思维六〗whose 在定语从句中,有\"所属\"含义,一般不再与其它限定词罗列使用。
当whose 表\"所属\"含义时,其本身就是一个限定词,相当于one\'s (具体讲是:my , his , her ,
its , our , your , their …),而限定词不可罗列在一起使用,whose 也不例外。
如:
John , of whom my aunt is a distant cousin by marriage , comes to see us sometimes . 约翰有时来看看我们,他是我姑姑的一个远房亲戚。
