1. Mary's first request to Elizabeth was for some clothes that be fitted her status rather than the rags she had fled in.
結(jié)構(gòu)剖析:這是一個(gè)含有定于從句的復(fù)合句。主句是:Mary's first request to Elizabeth was for some clothes,從句是that be fitted her status rather than the rags she had fled in。
這個(gè)定語從句是由that引導(dǎo)的,修飾先行詞clothes。先行詞在定語從句中做主語,指代物。在這個(gè)句子中that和which這兩個(gè)關(guān)系代詞都可以使用。由于是做主語,關(guān)系代詞不能省略。
進(jìn)而來看,定語從句that be fitted her status rather than the rags she had fled中rather than the rags she had fled是介詞短語,rather than作為“而不是”這個(gè)意思解釋時(shí),屬于符合介詞。這個(gè)介詞短語中含有一個(gè)定語從句: she had fled。它修飾先行詞rags。這個(gè)先行詞在定語從句中賓語,指代物,關(guān)系代詞which和that都可以使用,由于是做賓語,可以省略關(guān)系代詞。
陷阱提示:注意rag這個(gè)詞要表示破舊的衣服這個(gè)意思時(shí),要使用其復(fù)數(shù)形式,不能用單數(shù)形式,這個(gè)跟clothes這個(gè)詞是一樣的用法。
2. Just as well perhaps that she didn't know that Elizabeth was already wearing Mary's favourite pearls that had been stolen from Mary by her enemies and sent to the English queen.
結(jié)構(gòu)剖析:這是含有定語從句的復(fù)合句。主句是:Just as well perhaps that she didn't know that Elizabeth was already wearing Mary's favourite pearls,定語從句是that had been stolen from Mary by her enemies and sent to the English queen,that是引導(dǎo)詞。
這個(gè)定語從句修飾先行詞pearls,它在定語從句中做主語,指代物,關(guān)系代詞which和that都可以用,做主語不能省略。
這個(gè)定語從句時(shí)由并列連詞and連接的2個(gè)并列分句:一個(gè)是:that had been stolen from Mary by her enemies,一個(gè)是sent to the English queen。第二個(gè)分句和第一個(gè)分句工用一個(gè)引導(dǎo)詞that。And這個(gè)并列連詞在這里起到承接的作用。
