248、that, which
that 和which 两个词都可以作关系代词,引导从句,在定语从句中作主语或宾语。但两词在用法上存在着差异。
一、that多指物,有时也指人,而which只能指物,两词指物时在用法上大致相同。例如:
This is the irrigation system that (which) the peasants built last year. 这就是农民去年修的灌溉网。
I've read the newspaper that (which) carries the important editorial. 我已经看过登载那篇重要社论的报纸。
二、指物时,引导限定性定语从句用that或which,引导非限定性定语从句只能用which。例如:
Here is the book that (which) I told you about.这是我告诉过你的那本书。
Here is your book, which I have enjoyed very much.这是你的书,我很欣赏。
三、that作介词宾语时,介词不放在that之前,只能放在从句中原来的位置上,但which可以作介词的宾语。例如:
Can you lend me the book that you were talking about the other day ? 你可以把你那天谈的那本书借给我吗?
Can you lend me the book about which you were talking the other day ? 你可以把你那天谈的那本书借给我吗?
四、先行词被序数词、形容词最高级所修饰时,或者先行词为all、everything、nothing、something、anything、little时,必须用that,不能用which。例如:
That's all (that) I know.我知道的就是这些。(that在这种句子中常省略掉)
Is there anything (that) I can do for you in town?有什么事我可以在城里帮你办吗?
The first thing (that) we should do is to work out a plan. 我们应该做的第一件事是制定出一个计划。
That is the best film that I have ever seen.那是我所看过的电影中最好的一部。
