9. whose可以指物嗎

I saw some trees ______ leaves were black with disease.

A. its                       B. whose                  C. his                       D. the

此題應選B。容易誤選A。許多考生認為, 關系代詞whose和who, whom一樣, 只能指人, 不能指物。

事實上, 用作關系代詞的 whose 與 who, whom不一樣, 它不僅可以指人也可以指物(用作定語)：

There are some students whose questions I can’tanswer. 有些學生的問題我不能回答。

Can you see the mountain whose top is coveredwith snow? 你看得見山頂上覆蓋著雪的那座山嗎?

Here is a word whose meaning escapes me. 這里有一個詞, 我一下想不起它是什么意思了。

當先行詞為物時, 其后引導定語從句的 whose＋n. 也可換成 the＋n. ＋of which / of which＋the＋n. ：

窗戶破了的那座房子是空的。

正：The house whose windows are broken is empty.

正：The house the windows of which are broken is empty.

正：The house of which the windows are broken is empty.

但是如果 whose所修飾的名詞中心詞之前有數詞或其它限定詞, 則不用 whose, 而用of which：

There I saw a large talbe, two legs of which were broken. 在那里我看見有一張大桌子, 其中有兩條腿斷了。

10. 不要在定語從句使用與關系代詞同義的人稱代詞

—This is the book that I have read ______ dozens of times.

—But I have never read ______.

A. it, ×                     B. ×, it                     C. it, it                     D. ×, ×

此題應選B。容易誤選C。本題第二句填代詞it, 這容易理解。而第一句不能填 it, 則是考生很容易忽視的。顯然第一句中的 that I have read dozens of times 是修飾 thebook 的定語從句, 此句中的動詞read不能再接用 it作賓語, 因為它已有賓語that(也可省略)。

在做有關定語從句的試題時, 考生千萬不要在定語從句中重復使用與關系詞(或先行詞)指代相同的人稱代詞：

我們昨晚看的電影很精彩。

誤：The film we saw it last night was wonderful.

正：The film we saw last night was wonderful.

剛才同你講話的那個人是誰?

誤：Who’s the man you just talked to him?

正：Who’s the man you just talked to?

你昨天借給我的書很有趣。

誤：The book you lent it me yesterday was very interesting.

正：The book you lent me yesterday was very interesting.

他就是去年死了妻子的那個人。

誤：He is the man whose his wife died last year.

正：He is the man whose wife died last year.
