2. 语法上,非限制性定语从句一般不用that. 3. 语义上,限制性定语从句与先行词关系紧密,起限定作用,如果去掉了这个定语从句,整个句子就不完整或者会改变意思;而非限制性定语从句与先行词关系不是很紧密,对先行词起补充说明或描述的作用。 1).This is the book I like best. 这就是我最喜欢的那本书。 2).Beijing, which has been China's capital for more than 800 years , is rich in cultural and historic relics. 北京是中国八百年之久的古都,它有着丰富的文化和历史遗产。 4. 翻译时,限制性定语从句可译为一句(较短的一般译为"的"字结构);而非限制性定语从句可译为两句。(见上句翻译) 比较: He has a sister, who is a musician. He has a sister who is a musician. 引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词,指人时用who, whom, whose , 指物时用which , whose; 关系副词when,where, why, etc. 1. He studied hard at school when he was young, which leads to his success in his later life. 2. Tom's father, who arrived just now, is a famous scientist. 3. They set up a separate state of their own, where they would be free to keep Negroes as slaves. 4. He was proud, which his brother never was. Ⅴ. 几个易混淆的关系代词的比较: (A) that & which: 在定语从句中,which 和that 在指代事物时,一般可以互换使用,但并非在任何情况下都是这样,这里介绍宜用that, 而不宜用which 的情况. (1) 先行词为不定代词,如all, much, something, everything, anything, nothing, none, the one等。如: 1.We should do all that is useful to the people . 2.There's nothing that can be said about it . 3.Do you mean the one that was bought yesterday?

(6) 被修饰词为数词时. 如: 1.Yesterday I caught two fish and put them in a basin of water .Now you can see the two that are still alive . (7) 如果有两个从句,其中一个关系代词已用which ,另一个关系代词宜用that,以避免语言的单调或重复。如: 1.Edison built up a factory which produced things that had never been seen before. (8) 疑问词是who或which,关系代词宜用that,以避免重复。如: 1. Which is the book that you like best? 2. Who is the man that is standing at the gate? (9) 主句是There be 结构,修饰其主句的定语从句宜用that 作关系代词. 如: 1. There is still a seat in the corner that is still free. (10) 被修饰成分为表语时,或者关系代词本身是定语从句的表语时,该关系代词宜用that . 如: 1. That's a good book that will help you a lot. 2.
