同位语从句

所谓同位语,就是用来补充说明名词的具体内容。被补充说明的名词,叫作先行词;当用一个完整的句子来补充说明名词时,即构成同位语从句。所以,同位语从句通常都位于一个名词的后面,便构成了「名词+连接词+同位语从句」这样的结构。

 

1. that引导的同位语从句 

【例句】

The news that we are invited to the conference is very encouraging.

(从句部分「we are invited to the conference」不缺少任何成分,且句意完整,所以要用that一词来引导;需要注意的是,此时的that通常不能省略)

参考译句:我们被邀请去参加会议的消息令人鼓舞。

 

2. 其它连接词引导的同位语从句 

【例句1】

They are faced with the problem whether they should continue to work.

(从句部分「they should continue to work」不缺少任何成分,但是缺少「是否」的含义,所以要用whether一词来引导;需要注意的是,此时的whether不能改成if,因为if不能用于引导同位语从句)

参考译句:他们面临这样一个问题,即他们是否应该继续工作。

【例句2】

The question who should go abroad on business tour requires consideration.

(从句部分「should go abroad on business tour」缺少主语,表示「谁」,所以要用who一词来引导)

参考译句:谁应该出差去国外,这个问题需要仔细考虑。

【例句3】

I have no idea when he will return.

(从句部分「he will return」缺少时间状语,表示「何时」,所以要用when一词来引导)

参考译句:我不知道他什么时候回来。

【例句4】

There arose the question where we could get the loan.

(从句部分「we could get the loan」缺少地点状语,表示「什么地方」,所以要用where一词来引导)

参考译句:现在的问题是我们去哪里弄到这笔贷款。
