16. 由as引导的非限定性的定语从句
As we have known, he is a most good student. 众所周知,他是个很好的学生。
请比较:It is well-known that he is a most good student.
(前一个是定语从句,而后者是个主语从句。)
17. 由which引导的非限定性的定语从句。
He is a professor, which I have been looking forward to becoming.
他是个教授, 那是我一直盼望的职业。(因为先行词professor是表示职业的名词,因此引导词用which,而不用who。)
18. 由where, when引导的定语从句(其中包括限定性的或非限定性的。)
This is the house where I used to come.请比较:
This is the house which / that I used to come to.
This is the day when I joined the Party.请比较:
This is the day which / that I joined the Party on.
(说明:关于that与which之间的区别,请看关系代词that和which的区别。)
