Unit 3 Noun Clauses名词性从句.docVIP

Noun Clauses名词性从句 在句中起名词作用的从句称为名词性从句。名词性从句可以像名词一样在句中主语、宾语、表语、介词宾语或同位语等。 由that引导的名词性从句： That she doesn’t understand spoken English is obvious. I think (that) he is a good actor. The truth is that he is only eighteen. The fact that Ann was late didn’t surprise me. I’ve found it important that a new regulation be set up to ban it. 注意：That引导名词性从句时，在句中不作任何语法成分，只起连接作用。That从句除个别情况外，一般不能作介词的宾语。如： 误 : Are you sure of that he will not come. 正: Are you sure that he won’t come. 2） That引导主语从句时，通常采取It is..... that-clause结构。如： It is obvious that she doesn’t understand spoken English. 由wh-words引导的名词性从句： What he was talking about was interesting. Why they left the country is a secret. Where she went is none of your business. Whoever wants to come is welcome, There is something in what he said. He always says whatever comes into his mind, They can watch whichever program they prefer. I don’t know who is coming to the party. Let’s ask him which one he wants. Could you tell me how old she is. How this happened is not clear to anyone. I don’t know how many English words he has learned these two years. 注意：Wh-words引导名词性从句时，在句中担任语法成分，而且常保留其本身的含义，因此翻译时一般要译出来。此外，Wh-words引导的名词性从句要用正常语序，不可用疑问句语序。 3，由whether／if引导的名词性从句： Whether she comes or not is unimportant to me, I don’t know whether he will come. I wonder if she needs help. 注意：Whether/if引导名词性从句时，whether通常用于正式的语体中，而计多用于口语Whether/lf引导名词性从句时，whether通常用于正式的语体中，而if多用于口语中。此外，if不能用来引导位于句首的主语从句，也不用来引导表语从句，还不能与or not连用。 试比较： 误 : I wonder if she needs help or not. 正： I wonder if she needs help／I wonder whether he needs help. 误： If she comes is not yet known. 正: Whether she comes is not yet known. 同位语从句 同位语从句一般跟在某些名词后面，用以说明该名词表示的具体内容，同位语从句前的名词通常用单数形式，并且往往带有限定词（word除外）加以修饰，可以跟同位语从句的名词通常有 news, idea, fact, promise, question, doubt, thought, hope, message, sug gestion,word(消息)，possibility等。例如： I’ve come from Mr. Wang with the message that he won’t be able to see you this afternoon．我从王先生那里来，他让我告诉你他今天下午不能来看你了。 同位语从句的连词 That 同位语从句表示陈述意义时通常用that
