在复合句中用作同位语的从句称为同位语从句 (appositive clause)。同位语从句的形式和定语从句相似。两者之前都有先行词,但是与先行词的关系不同:同位语从句与先行词同位或者等同,定语从句则与先行词是修饰关系。
同位语从句
在复合句中用作同位语的从句称为同位语从句 (appositive clause)。同位语从句的形式和定语从句相似。两者之前都有先行词,但是与先行词的关系不同:同位语从句与先行词同位或者等同,定语从句则与先行词是修饰关系。同位语从句的先行词多为news, fact, idea, thought, question, reply, report, remark等,关联词多用连词that。如:
★ The assumption that robots will make humans redundant and replaceable is groundless.
认为机器人将令人类变得多余和可取代的假设是站不住脚的。
★ We should not lose sight of the fact that significantly fewer women apply for senior positions in comparison with men.
我们不应该忽略这一事实和男性相比更少的女性申请上级职位。
关联词that在非正式文体中可以被省去。如:
★ He grabbed his suitcase and gave the impression he was boarding the
他拿起了手提箱,给人的印象是他要登上飞往伦敦的飞机了。(同位语从句he was boarding…省去了关联词that)
同位语从句偶尔用关联词whether引导。如:
★ He was tortured by the doubt whether or not he should venture to go south.
