賓語(yǔ)從句是名詞性從句的一種。在主從復(fù)合句中充當(dāng)賓語(yǔ),位于及物動(dòng)詞、介詞或復(fù)合謂語(yǔ)之后的從句稱為賓語(yǔ)從句。賓語(yǔ)從句分為三類:動(dòng)詞的賓語(yǔ)從句,介詞的賓語(yǔ)從句和形容詞的賓語(yǔ)從句。
1. 賓語(yǔ)從句的連接詞
(1)從屬連詞that, if, whether
需要注意區(qū)分的是:that引導(dǎo)表示陳述句的賓語(yǔ)從句,if和whether引導(dǎo)表示“是否”的一般疑問(wèn)句的賓語(yǔ)從句。例如:
He told me that he would go to the college the next year.
他告訴我他明年上大學(xué)。
I don't know if there will be a bus any more.
我不知道是否還會(huì)有公交車(chē)。
Nobody knew whether he could pass the exam.
沒(méi)有人知道他是否會(huì)通過(guò)考試。
(2)連接代詞who, whom, whose, what, whoever, whomever, whosever, whatever, whichever
需要注意的是:連接代詞一般指疑問(wèn),但what, whatever,whichever 除了指疑問(wèn)外,也可以指陳述。例如:
Do you know who has won Red Alert game?
你知道是誰(shuí)贏得了紅色警戒的游戲么?
The book will show you what the best CEOs should know.
這本書(shū)會(huì)告訴你最好的執(zhí)行總裁該了解什么.
Have you determined whichever you should buy, a Galaxy Note 7 or iPhone 7?
你決定好是買(mǎi)三星7還是iPhone 7了嗎?
2. 哪些賓語(yǔ)從句不可以省略引導(dǎo)詞that
(1)表達(dá)人主觀意見(jiàn)的動(dòng)詞
add, agree, announce, argue, assume, complain, decide, hold, indicate, insist, intend, learn, promise, point out, remark, suggest, state 等之后的賓語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞that需保留。例如:
I complained that I had been unfairly treated.
我抱怨說(shuō)自己受到了不公平的對(duì)待。
(2)及物動(dòng)詞+兩個(gè)及以上賓語(yǔ)從句
及物動(dòng)詞后跟有兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的賓語(yǔ)從句時(shí),最后一個(gè)從句的that不可省略。例如:
I realize that I'm in charge and that everybody accepts my leadership.
我意識(shí)到要對(duì)這一切負(fù)責(zé),并且每個(gè)人都要聽(tīng)從我的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。
(3)動(dòng)詞+雙賓語(yǔ)
當(dāng)動(dòng)詞后跟有復(fù)合賓語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)時(shí),it作形式賓語(yǔ),that從句作真正賓語(yǔ),引導(dǎo)詞that不可省略。例如:
We consider it an honor that we can have the pleasure of serving you.
為您效勞真是我們的榮幸。
(4)出現(xiàn)插入語(yǔ)
當(dāng)動(dòng)詞和that從句之間有插入語(yǔ)時(shí),that不可省略。例如:
The secretary said, pleasantly and sternly, that our thinking was too slow to suit the needs of modern society.
書(shū)記語(yǔ)重心長(zhǎng)地說(shuō),我們的思維已落后于現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的需求。
(5)狀語(yǔ)緊跟that
當(dāng)that從句的狀語(yǔ)緊跟在that之后時(shí),that不可省略。例如:
They told us that once again the situation was serious.
They told us once again that the situation was serious.
他們?cè)俅胃嬖V我們情況十分嚴(yán)重。
