语法精讲定语从句
【观察例句】

2．Eric reached Greenland and discovered that people could live in the place where he landed.
3．Biarni was the man with whom Leif discussed his plans.
4．By around 900AD，there were many places in Northern Europe where the Vikings chose to live.
【归纳用法】
一、限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句概述
1．限制性定语从句是先行词不可缺少的一部分，若去掉，主句的内容就不完整，意义也会发生改变。从
句和先行词的关系十分密切，从句紧跟先行词，两者之间不可用逗号隔开。
She has found the necklace (that) she lost two weeks ago.
她找到了那条两周前丢失的项链。
2．非限制性定语从句是对先行词的补充说明。没有它，主句也能独立存在；非限制性定语从句和先行词
的关系不是很密切，两者之间用逗号隔开。
He has two sisters，who are working in the city.
他有两个姐姐，她们在城里工作。
[即学即练1] 单句语法填空
①The weather turned out to be very good， was more than we could expect.
②Is this the museum the exhibition was held?
二、限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句的区别
1．标点的运用有所不同
限制性定语从句一般紧跟在先行词后，其后不可用逗号分开；而非限制性定语从句也常放在先行词
后，但必须用逗号与主句分开。
Who is the girl that is standing under the tree?
站在树下的那个女孩是谁？
He is a teacher of much knowledge，from whom much can be learned.
他是一个学识渊博的老师，从他那儿可以学到许多东西。
2．从句的作用不同
限制性定语从句对先行词起到修饰限制作用，是先行词在意义上不可缺少的定语，一旦省略，主句的
意思就不完整。而非限制性定语从句则是对一个概念清楚的先行词进行附加说明，若将其去掉，主句的意
思仍然完整。
The next day，my brother and I went to the beach where we watched some people play volleyball.
第二天，我和弟弟去了海边。在那里，我们看到一些人在打沙滩排球。
Alice received a letter from her former classmate，which came as a surprise.
艾丽斯收到了她以前同学的一封信，这真是件令人惊奇的事情。
3．关系词的选用不同
限制性定语从句可以用关系代词who，whom，whose，that，which，关系副词when，where，why等
引导，而非限制性定语从句不可用that或why来引导(上述引导词除了这两者以外均可用来引导非限制性定语从句)。
Yesterday he bought a new car，which was made in Japan.(which不可换用that)
昨天他买了一辆新车，是日本生产的。
He didn't give the reason，which explained his absence from the meeting held last week.(which 不可换用
why，因为which在定语从句中作主语，而why只能在定语从句中作状语)
＝He didn't give the reason，for which he was absent from the meeting held last week.
他没有给出他上周没参加会议的理由。
4．从句所修饰的先行词有所不同
限制性定语从句的先行词通常是名词、代词或词组；而非限制性定语从句的先行词除了名词、代词
外，还可以是句子。
This is the best book that I have ever read.
这是我曾经读过的书中的最好的一本。
He won the first prize in the contest，which was more than we expected.
他在比赛中得了一等奖，这一点真出乎我们预料。
5．关系词的省略不同
在限制性定语从句中，当关系代词在定语从句中作宾语或表语时，在口语中可以省略，关系副词有时
也可省略。而非限制性定语从句中的关系代词或关系副词不可省略。
I still remember the days we spent together in college.(we前省略了that/which)
我仍然记得我们在大学时一起度过的日子。
She is not the one (that) she used to be.(that在定语从句中作表语)
她已不再是昔日的她了。
6．英译汉时有所不同，译成汉语时，往往把限制性定语从句的内容置于先行词之前；而非限制性定语从
句和主句往往翻译成两个分句。
Which is the machine that we used last Sunday?
上星期天我们用的那台机器是哪一台？
The concert，which was held last week，was a great success.
那场音乐会是上周举行的，获得了巨大的成功。
He may be late，in which case we ought to wait for him.
他可能迟到，要是那样的话我们就等等他。
[即学即练2] 单句语法填空
①Liquid water changes to vapor， is called evaporation.
②Charles Smith， was my former teacher，retired last year.
③This is the house I lived two years ago.
三、as和which引导非限制性定语从句的区别
which as
位置上 只能放在先行词的后面 位置灵活，可位于句前、句中，也可置于句后
搭配上 无动词的限制 谓语动词通常是表示感觉或心理活动的动词，如see，hear，know，expect，remember，guess，hope等
句意上 意为“这一点” 表示“正如……，正像……的那样”
The air quality in the city，as is shown in the report，has improved over the past two months.
正如报告所显示的，在过去的两个月里，这个城市的空气质量已有所改善。
After graduating from college，I took some time off to go travelling，which turned out to be a wise decision.
大学毕业后我抽出一部分时间去旅游，事实证明这是一个明智的选择。

Cruise(巡航) lines worldwide suspended sailings March 13 because of the spread of the coronaviruspandemic.Now companies such as Carnival and Disney are pushing out their return dates and canceling more

John White，a typical teenage boy，is keen on hiking and photography.He also lives in a large zoo.John，the son of the late “Crocodile Hunter” star Steve White，is now taking center stage in “Crikey! It’s the
Whites，”a new series on Animal Planet.“We’ve worked on quite a few different TV projects，but this is
actually the first time my whole family has come back to Animal Planet together，so it’s pretty unusual，” says
John.Premiering(首映)at 8 p．m.on Sunday，“Crikey！” follows the Whites as they run the 100-acre Australia
Zoo，founded by Steve White’s parents.Steve owned and ran the zoo before he died in 2006.“We’ve always grown
up in front of a camera.Bindi，my sister，and I were both filmed for some of the original ‘Crocodile Hunter’
documentaries(纪录片)，” says John.
“I’m very lucky in the way that I’ve had so much of my life captured(拍摄)on camera，so as the memories
you have of Dad start to fade，you can always look back at the old footage(镜头)and relive those special
moments，” he says.
“Crikey! It’s the Whites” has some footage of Steve.The most exciting part of the premiere involves John
leading the “Croc Show” at the zoo’s “Crocoseum” ， a 5,500-seat stadium Steve built to give crocodile
performances and educate visitors about crocodile behavior.
Of course，running a zoo doesn’t leave much time for school，so John participates in Distance Education，a
program similar to homeschooling.“School can be difficult for me to fit in，” he says.“But I’ve actually got a
classroom that’s set up at Australia Zoo and a teacher that travels with us wherever we go，so I can fit in all of my
studies.” John continues，“I’m learning as much as I can about all of the animals and all of the work at Australia
Zoo.I feel really honored to be following in Dad’s footsteps.I love continuing that work.”
4．Why is the new series special to John?
A．It includes his whole family.
B．It is being filmed in a large zoo.
C．It is the first documentary he made.
D．It allows him to work with his dad.
5．What does John think of being captured on camera?
A．It helps increase his popularity.
B．It encourages him to work hard.
C．It helps strengthen his ties to his dad.
D．It encourages him to care about animals.
6．How does John keep up with his schooling?
A．He is taking unique education.
B．He is home-schooled by his mom.
C．He goes to school whenever he has time.

7．What’s John’s dream job in the future?

Empathy(同理心) is one of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants，but few know how to
truly give or receive it.In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized，it is in short supply but high demand.This
is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.
What Is Empathy？—Many people confuse sympathy and empathy，but they are two distinct values.Empathy
is not just the ability to understand someone’s feelings；criminals often take advantage of people by appearing to
understand their feelings and subsequently gaining their trust.Empathy is more than that.Not only is it the ability to
recognize how someone feels，but it also values and respects the feelings of another person.It means treating
others with kindness，dignity，and understanding.
Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy—While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts，in most
cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them.It begins with the way parents relate to their
children.Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive
and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.
Meet Emotional Needs—When children have their emotional needs met，two things happen.They learn how
to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving，meaning that they are
secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive.An empty jug cannot fill a cup.
It’s a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them.Give their emotions
names(for example，jealousy，anger，and love) and teach them that these are normal.Talk to them about how to
handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations where other people are experiencing emotions.Teach
them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.
8．Why is it that the next generation are taught to have empathy?
A．Because people tend to center themselves.
B．Because everyone lacks empathy.
C．Because empathy is a strange quality.
D．Because it’s better to give than to receive.
9．Which situation can empathy be used in?
