WordOrderinaSubordinateClause从句的顺序
在写英语复合句时,除了需要注意照应主句与从句的时态、人称、连接词语
-8-
等等之外,还应特别致意从句部分的语序。
英语从句经常用疑问词引导,如what,who等,但与疑问词引导的简单问句不同。从
句不使用疑问句语序,而使用陈述句语序,即按主语在前、谓语在后的顺序排列。还应注
意,因为从句不使用疑问倒装结构,所以一般现在时和一般过去时不再用do,does,did
等助动词帮助构成从句结构。
1.常用来引导从句的疑问词有what,when,where,who,whether,how等,这些疑
问词一般仍保留原有的疑问含义。
ShewantedtoknowwhenmybrotherhadvisitedParis.
她想知道我哥哥什么时候游览过巴黎。
Couldyoupleasetellmewherewearegoing.
你能告诉我我们到哪里去吗?
Howheplaysthetrickisasecret.
他怎么变这个戏法是个秘密。
r可以引导主语从句,if不能引导主语从句,但是两者都能引导宾语从
句。引导宾语从句时,两者都表示“是否”的意思,只是if后面不能加ornot。
-9-
1)主语从句
Whetherhewillacceptthejobisdifficulttosay.(对)
Ifhewillacceptthejobisdifficulttosay.(错)
他是否接受这项工作还很难说。
2)宾语从句
Theywonderedwhether/ifwewouldliketojointhem.
他们想知道我们是否愿意加入他们。
Couldyoupleasetellmewhetherornotwearegoingthere,too?
请告诉我是否我们也要去那里?
3.疑问句一般可以用来引导主语从句、宾语从句及表语从句。写作中要特别注意这些
从句的语序。
1)主语从句的语序
Whetherhecomesornotmatterslittletome.
他来不来与我没什么相干。
-10-
Howyoucangetsuchanexperienceisakeypoint.
你怎样才能得到这种体验是个关键。
2)宾语从句的语序
Idon’tunderstandwhyhedidn’tacceptourinvitation.
我不明白他为什么不接受我们的邀请。
3)表语从句的语序
Thefactturnsouttobewhatheneverexpected.
事实是他始料不及的。
,where等若用来引导状语从句或定语从句,它们不再是疑问词,也不具有疑
问含义,因此他们的语序亦应为陈述句语序。
1)状语从句的语序
WhenshevisitedthefamousmuseuminParis,shemetmybrother.
她在巴黎参观哪个著名的博物馆时遇见了我哥哥。
Couldyoustayforawhilewhereyouarenow?
-11-
你们能在现在的地方留一会儿吗?
2)定语从句的语序
ShestillremembersthedaywhenshemetmybrotherinParis.
她还记得在巴黎遇见我哥哥的那一天。
Couldyoupleasetellmetheplacewhereyoumetforthefirsttime?
你能告诉我你们初次相会的地方吗?
