考研英語春季語法復(fù)習(xí):連詞“that”的用法
在考研英語閱讀中,我們常常會遇到連接詞that省略的情況。而一旦省略,對同學(xué)們的從句識別和判定會帶來一定的困難,從而影響閱讀的理解和翻譯。今天醫(yī)學(xué)全在線英語指導(dǎo)老師就帶著同學(xué)們看一下在三種從句中連接詞that省略用法的幾種情況。
一、that引導(dǎo)定語從句,在從句中充當(dāng)成分。
1.that在定語從句中作賓語時,往往可省略。如:
(1)John once talked to his mom about the cities(that)he had visited apoad.
在從句中that作visit的賓語,故可以省略。
(2)The homework(that)I finished last night was left at home.
在從句中that作finish的賓語,故可以省略。
2.that在定語從句中作主語時,不可省略。如:
(1)The teacherthatis kind to us goesback home very late every day.
在從句中that作主語,故不可以省略。
(2)My old schoolthatwas located in the suburban was razed to the ground.
在從句中that作主語,故不可以省略。
3.that在引導(dǎo)限定性定語從句時醫(yī).學(xué)全.在.線52667788.cn,有時相當(dāng)于in which, at which, for which或on which,并且在從句中可以省略。如:
(1)Attitudes towards daydreaming are changing in much the same way (that ) (in which) attitudes towards night dreaming have changed.
(2)I like the music for the very reason (that ) (for which) he dislike it.
(3)We arrived the day (that ) (on which) they left.
二、that引導(dǎo)名詞性從句時,充當(dāng)連詞,本身無實際意義。
1. that在引導(dǎo)賓語從句時,通?墒÷浴H纾
We know (that) sound can travel through air.
that引導(dǎo)的從句在主句中充當(dāng)know的賓語,故為賓語從句,此時that可以省略。
但:(1)在介詞短語后的賓語從句中that常不可省略,且前面往往有個形式賓語it。如:
You may depend on it that they will support your plan.
See to it that you arrive at the railway station on time.
(2)兩個賓語從句連用時,即使省略了第一個that,也不可省略第二個that。如:
I believe (that) you’ve done your best and that things will get better.
(3)在雙賓語結(jié)構(gòu)中,that從句充當(dāng)直接賓語或是間接賓語時,不可以省略that。如:
He has told me that he will go to Shanghai tomorrow.
2. that引導(dǎo)主語從句醫(yī)學(xué)全.在線52667788.cn、同位語從句及表語從句時,正規(guī)語中,通常不可省略。
(1)We heard the news that our team had won.
that引導(dǎo)同位語從句,that不可以省略。
(2)The fact is that we have lost the game.
that引導(dǎo)表語從句,that不可以省略。
(3)That youdidn’tgo to the party was a pity.
that引導(dǎo)主語從句,that不可以省略。
不過,如果it作形式主語,that從句放在句末,可以省略that。如:
(4)It was a pity (that) youdidn’tgo to the party.
三、that引導(dǎo)狀語從句時,充當(dāng)連詞,有時也可省略。
1.在結(jié)果狀語從句中,that有時可以省略。如:
The sound is so weak(that)you can’t hear it.
總之,that的省略現(xiàn)象在英語學(xué)習(xí)中很普遍,尤其是在定語從句和賓語從句中,大家遇到這兩種句型時要多加留心that是如何使用的,注意總結(jié)。另外,如果大家對that省略的情況把握不好,提醒同學(xué)們在寫作時最好不要省略that。
