请下面这道题,逗号后面为什么用its而不用
whose?
Not far from the
school there was a
garden, _____
owner seated in it
playing chess with his
little grandson every afternoon.
A. its B.
whose C.
which D. that
此题很容易误选B,许多同学想当然地认为句中逗号后是一个非限制性的定语从句,
whose 在定语从句中用作定语修饰其后的名词
owner。此分析从表面上看,似乎天衣无缝,但实质上是错的,原因是空格后根本不是一个句子,因为它没有谓语。尽管句中有两个动词(
seated 和
playing),但它们都是非谓语动词。也许有的同学会问,其中的
seated 不可用作谓语动词吗?不能。因为seat 用作动词时,它总是及物的,其后要么接宾语,要么它就用于被动语态,所以若在
seated 前加上助动词 is,则可以选择B(当然若将
seated 改为
sitting,也应选择B)。所以此题最佳答案选A。请再看一个类似的例子:
(1) He
wrote a lot of
novels, many of _____
translated into
foreign languages.
A. it B. them C.
which D. that
(2) He
wrote a lot of
novels, many of _____ were
translated into
foreign languages.
A. it B. them C.
which D. that
第(1)题应选B,而不能选C,是因为句中的
translated 是过去分词(非谓语动词),若选C,则该从句无谓语;第(2)题应选C,因为句中有谓语 were
translated。再请看下面一例:
(3) He
wrote a lot of
novels, and many of _____ were
translated into
foreign languages.
A. it B. them C.
which D. that
此题与上面的第(2)题不同,两句间多了一个并列连词and,说明这是一个并列句,故应选B,则不能选C。
请做做以下三题(答案均为B):
(1)
There I met
several people, two of _____
being foreigners.
A.
which B. them C. whom D. that
(2)
There I met
several people, two of _____ were
foreigners.
A.
which B. whom C. who D. that
(3)
There I met
several people, and two of _____ were
foreigners.
A.
which B. them C. whom D. that
