关系词
5-5:what的用法
what是最常见的复合关系代词,也是最容易使用的一种。
1.首先我们要了解,what做复合关系代词时,可视为the thing(s) which,通常译成“所……的东西”。
例:what he said is true.
(他所说的话是真的。)
i am interested in what he is doing.
(我对他目前所做的事很有兴趣。)
2.用what造句时,要注意下列原则:
(1)前面不可有先行词(名词);
(2)将what视为the thing(s) which;
(3)which在所引导的形容词从句中可做主语、宾语或be动词的补语。
例:what bothers me is that i have no time.
=the thing which bothers me is that i have no time.
(让我困扰的是我没有时间。)
本例中what之前无名词。what变成the thing which之后,which在所引导的形容词从句中做主语,故结构正确。
例:i don't believe the words what he said.(x)
在本例中,what之前多了先行词the words。
改正:i don't believe what he said.(o)
=i don't believe the words(which) he said.(o)
(我不相信他说的话。)
