在sat考试的时候,不仅仅是考察的是相关科目的一些知识,sat考试全英文的考试,所以考生们在备考考试科目知识的同时也要对英语词汇的一些知识要掌握,今天小编为大家带来的就是SAT限制性定语从句详解!
首先普及一个语法常识,定语从句分为两类:限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句。 他们的外表特征就是逗号的存在。 简言之,非限制性定语从句就是在从句和主句之间加了一个逗号,读时有停顿,译时分两句。你以为这些就是非限制性定语从句了吗? Naive!
大家来看看这组例句:
Sentence 1: There are three students who listen to the music.
Sentence 2: There are three students, who listen to the music.
大家看完例句来回答问题:
According to sentence 1, how many students are there? (unknown)
According to sentence 2, how many students are there? (three)
通过对比以上一对句子,我们可以看出差别,限制性定语从句(不带逗号)是对先行词students起到修饰和限定的作用,不可或缺。简言之,不知道到底有多少学生在,但是学生分两类,一类听音乐,一类不听音乐;非限制性定语从句(带逗号)是对先行词students进行信息补充,可有可无,在非限制性定语这个句子中,只有三个学生存在。
再来看看这题,看看自己以前是不是学了假的非限制性定语从句!
题目: Since his career which ended in the mid-twentieth century, Freud has remained a common cultural and scientific reference point.
A. NO CHANGE
B. Since his career, which ended in the mid-twentieth century, Freud has remained
C. Since his career which ended in the mid-twentieth century; Freud has remained
D. Since his career ( ended in the mid-twentieth century)Freud has remained
我们这道题中,同学们肯定纠结在AB两个选项之中,面对逗号,一脸茫然。
我们根据之前所讲的限制性和非限制性的特点,那么A选项就将career分为了两类,一类是在二十世纪中期结束的,一类不是。请问同学们,这么划分一个人的career合适吗? 再对比B选项,非限制性定语从句,没有对career进行绝对分类,只对其补充更多信息。所以这里我们应该使用非限制性定语从句最恰当,最合理。
现在我们可以得出结论,限制性定语从句是直接将先行词范围缩小为两类,而非限制性定语从句不会这样。所以只要从逻辑上判定先行词被分为两类是否合理恰当,就能把握两种情况的根本区别!
现在你搞清楚非限制性定语从句和限制性定语从句了吗?
