限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句 1.

限制性定语从句是先行词在意义上不可缺少的定语, 如果去掉, 主句的意思就不完整或失去意义。这种从句和主句的关系十分密切，写时不用逗号分开。限制性定语从句中作宾语的关系代词常可省略。如: a) What is the name of the tall woman who is standing there?

b) Toronto is a city (that) I've always wanted to visit. 2. 非限制性定语从句和主句关系不十分密切, 只是对先行词作些附加的说明, 如果去掉, 主句的意思仍然清楚。这种从句和主句之间往往用逗号分开, 一般不用that引导。非限制性定语从句中, 关系词不可省略。如：

a) Rome, which is the capital of Italy, has a very long history. b)Yesterday I met Professor King, who came from the University of London. c) He lent me a dictionary, which was just what I needed. 3.大多数限制性和非限制性定语从句的先行词往往为某一个词或短语, 而特殊场合非限制性定语从句的先行词也可为整个主句, 此时非限制性定语从句常由which引导。

e.g. A middle-aged woman killed her husband, which frightened me very much.

析: 从语境可知，令我恐惧的内容应为中年女子杀害了其丈夫这整个一件事，

因此先行词为整个主句，此时应由which引导定语从句。

e.g. A five-year-old boy can speak two foreign languages, which surprises all the people present.

一个五岁的男孩会讲两门外语, 令所有在场的人感到非常惊讶。

析: 从语境可知, 令所有在场的人感到惊讶的内容是一个五岁男孩会讲两门外语这整个一件事，因此先行词为整个主句，此时应由which引导非限制性定语从句。
