? ? ?定語從句中whose的用法whose引導(dǎo)的定語從句是語法重點(diǎn),也是高考中經(jīng)??疾榈恼Z法內(nèi)容之一。要學(xué)好whose引導(dǎo)的定語從句的用法,應(yīng)注意以下六個(gè)方面。
一、whose為who的所有格,作“某(些)人的……”解,它所指代的先行詞必須是人,其引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾它的先行詞,同時(shí)它本身在從句中作定語。
  This is the little girl whose parents were killed in the great earthquake.這就是在那次大地震中失去雙親的那個(gè)小姑娘。
  Mr Liu wants to talk to the students whose homework hasn't been handed in.劉老師要跟那些沒交家庭作業(yè)的學(xué)生談話。
二、whose也可作which的所有格,作“某(些)物的……”解,它所指代的先行詞必須是物,其語法功能同上。
  The company whose name was Notco was in Australia.那個(gè)名叫諾特可的公司設(shè)在澳大利亞。
  We live in a house whose windows open to the south.我們居住在一所窗戶朝南開的房子里。
三、whose可修飾定語從句中的主語、賓語、介詞賓語等不同成分。
  Mr King,whose legs were badly hurt,was quickly taken to hospital.金先生的腿受了重傷,很快就被送往醫(yī)院。(whose修飾定語從句中的主語legs)
  We shall have to make a decision about Ms King,whose story I've just told you.關(guān)于金女士的情況,我剛才已經(jīng)告訴你們了,我們得對她的事情作出決定。(whose修飾定語從句中的賓語 story)
四、whose既可引導(dǎo)限制性定語從句,亦可引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句。
  The boss in whose department Mr King worked called at the hospital.金先生工作單位的老板到醫(yī)院來探視。(限制性定語從句)
  The boss of the company,whose name was Mr Little,told the story.公司的老板叫利特爾,他講述了這個(gè)故事。(非限制性定語從句)
五、由于whose具有兼作who和 which的所有格的雙重功能,故在指人時(shí)可用of whom代替whose,指物時(shí)可用of which代替whose。
  This kind of book is for children whose native language(=the native language of whom)is Chinese.這種書是給母語是漢語的兒童看的。
  Mr Brown has written a novel whose name(=the name of which)I've completely forgotten.布朗先生寫了部小說,其書名我完全忘了。
  I live in a room whose window(=the window of which)opens to the south. 我住在一間窗戶朝南開的屋子里。
六、按英語習(xí)慣用法,下列情況中的whose和of whom或of which切不可混用:
 1.凡是of whom或of which同數(shù)詞或代詞(如some,many,little等)連用表示部分與整體關(guān)系時(shí),通常不可用 whose。
  There are 45 students in our class,35of whom are League members.我們班有45名學(xué)生,其中35名是團(tuán)員。
  Mr White wrote many articles,some of which were translated into Chinese.懷特先生寫了不少文章,其中一些譯成了中文。
 2.凡是of whom或of which修飾定語從句中的主語,是表示同位關(guān)系的代詞both,all等時(shí),切不可用whose。
  I have two sons,both of whom serve in the army.我有兩個(gè)兒子,都在部隊(duì)服役。
  He has some novels,all of which are written in Russian.他有一些小說,都是用俄文寫的。
