of whom定语从句
定语从句(也称关系从句、形容词性从句),是指一类由关系词(relative word)引导的从句,因为这类从句的句法功能多是做定语,所以曾被称为定语从句(attributive clause),以下是小编整理的of whom定语从句,欢迎阅读。
of whom 定语从句
一、of whom/which引导的定语从句:
在非限制性定语从句中,先行词作为一个整体,表示整体中的一部分,即表示“部分与整体”的关系时,用…of which / whom或者of which / whom…都可以。但与表示所属关系不同,这里不能用whose来代替of which。
二、表示整体中的部分
The buses, most of which were already full, were surrounded by an angry crowd. 公共汽车大多数都已经挤满了人,它们被愤怒的人群包围着。
I picked up the apples, some of which were badly bruised. 我拣起那些苹果,其中有一些伤得很厉害。
I bought a dozen eggs, six of which broke when I dropped the box. 我买了一打鸡蛋,六个在我失手掉了盒子时摔碎了。
There are two bottles left, one of which is almost finished and the other of which is not quite. 只剩两瓶,一瓶快喝完了,另一瓶没完全喝完。
The treasure some of which has been recovered, has been sent to the British Museum. 这些宝藏已送往大英博物馆,其中有一些是失而复得的。
三、表示所属关系
He’s written a book, the name of which I’ve forgotten. 他写了一本书,书名我忘了。 句中的the name of which=whose name。
It was an agreement the details of which could not be altered. 这是一项其细节不可更改的协定。
四、of whom和of which用法归纳
1. of表示同位关系:即用于在A+of+B结构,其中的A和B为同位关系。如: Her sons, both of whom work abroad, ring her up every week. 她的两个儿子,都在国外工作,他们每周都给她打电话来。
We’ve tested three hundred types of boot, none of which is completely waterproof. 我们已经测试过300种靴子,没有一种是完全防水的。
2. of表示整体与部分的关系:即用于“部分+of+整体(which, whom)”结构。如: He went with a group of people, few of whom were correctly equipped for such a climb. 他和一队人一起去了,其中没有几个人配有进行这样一次登山的适当装备。
The buses, most of which were already full, were surrounded by an angry crowd. 公共汽车大多数都已经挤满了人,它们被愤怒的人群包围着。
I met the fruit-pickers, several of whom were university students. 我遇到了摘水果的人们,其中有几个人是大学生。
3. of表示所属关系:即of用于构成所有格。如:
He’s written a book the name of which I’ve forgotten. 他写了一本书,书名我给忘了。 The house the roof of which was damaged has now been repaired. 那幢屋顶被损坏的房子现在已经修好了。
4. of与其他的词构成固定搭配:即of与从句中的某个词语构成固定搭配。如: He’s married to a singer of whom you may have heard. 他与一位歌唱家结了婚,你可能听说过这个人。(介词of与动词hear构成固定搭配,意为“听说”)
注意:介词of后面除接关系代词which, whom外,有时也可能是whose。如: She had a teddy-bear, both of whose eyes were missing. 她有一个玩具熊,它的两只眼睛都丢了。
表示部分与整体of which/whom
在非限制性定语从句中,表示“部分与整体”的关系时,用…of which/whom或者of which/whom…都可以。表示部分的可以是具体数目或百分数,也可以是few, several, some, half, many, much, most, all, none, either, neither, a quarter, a number, the larger, the smallest, the majority等。
Our school has 80 teachers, 50 of whom (=of whom 50) are women. 我校有80个教师,其中50个是女的。
He has lots of books, most of which are English ones. 他有许多书,其中大部分是英语书。 注意:这里的of which不能用whose代替,这与表示所属关系的of which不同: The room the door of which (=whose door) is blue belongs to me. 门是蓝色的那间房是我的。
定语从句中whom的用法
一、定语从句的概念
在复合句中,修饰某一名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。被修饰的名词或代词叫先行词,定语从句一般放在先行词的后面。
二、定语从句的关系词
引导定语从句的关系词有关系代词和关系副词,常见的关系代词包括that, which, who(宾格whom,所有格whose)等,关系副词包括where, when, why等。关系代词和关系副词放在先行词及定语从句之间起连接作用,同时又作定语从句的重要成分。
三、定语从句的分类
根据定语从句与先行词的关系,定语从句可分为限制性定语从句及非限制性定语从句。限制性定语从句紧跟先行词,主句与从句不用逗号分开,从句不可省去,非限制性定语从句主句与从句之间有逗号分开,起补充说明作用,如省去,意思仍完整。
whom的用法
whom主要用在当先行词表人的情况下,在从句中充当动词或介词的宾语。如:
The boy whom you met on the street just now is one of cousins.
He is the manfromwhom you ought to ask for help.
whom也可以用来引导非限定性定语从句。如:
The soldiers, some ofwhom comefromAlaska, will be sent to Iraq next week.
