Cultural relics教案1
which was given this name... 為非限制性定語從句。非限制性定語從句,在修飾物時用who, whom, whose。非限制性定語從句和它的先行詞之間只有松散的關系,往往是對先行詞作補充說明,這種從句在朗讀時有停頓,在文字中通常有逗號與主句隔開。
the chairman, who spoke first, sat on my right. 最先發言的主席坐在我的右邊。
the speech, which bored everyone, went on and on. 那使大家厭煩的演講一直在繼續著。
關系副詞where和when也能引導非限制性定語從句。
on april 1 they flew to beijing, where they stayed several days. 四月一日他們飛到北京,在那里呆了幾天。
i'm seeing the manager tomorrow, when he will be back from new york. 我明天要去見經理,他明天要從紐約回來。
另外,由which引導的非限制性定語從句,有時候修飾整個句子,或句子中的某個部分。
they have invited us to visit their country, which is very kind of them. 他們非常友好地邀請我們去訪問他們的國家。
usually they take a walk after supper, which does them a lot of good. 通常他們晚飯后去散散步,這么做對他們很有好處。
2. the design for the room was of the fancy style popular in those days. 屋子的設計是當時流行的極富藝術表現力的建筑式樣。
of the fancy style... 在句子中用作表語,"be + of + 名詞(詞組)",表示主語的某種形狀或特征。
i am pleased to have been of help to you. 我很高興我對你有幫助。
all of the boys in the class are of the same age.這個班上的男生年齡都一樣。
類似的用法還有:of different sizes, of great importance, of no use, of little value等。
popular in those days 是形容詞短語修飾the fancy style。凡是可充當表語的形容詞組,做定語時通常都可后置。
they have a house larger than yours. 他們的房子比你的大。
the boys easiest to teach are in my class.我班上的男生最好教了。
這類后置的定語在意義上相當于定語從句。
a house larger than yours = a house which is larger than yours
the boys easiest to teach = the boys who are easiest to teach

另外,in a way, in the way也有類似的用法。
