关系限定词whose和which
(1)whose意为谁的,替代的是先行词的所有格形式,因此它不能单独使用,后必须紧跟名词。
例如:
Visitors( whose visas are about to expire) are to have them renewed at an early date.
【译文】那些签证即将到期的访问者应该尽早续签。
The child( whose parents died in the car crash) was left in the care of his grandparents.
【译文】那个父母死于车祸的孩子由他的祖父母照看。
(2)which作为关系限定词,仅出现在非限制定语从句中,是一种指示代词的作用,因此它也不能单独使用,后面须紧跟名词。
例如:
He is old,(which fact is important).
【译文】他老了,这个事实很重要。
He went to America in 1980(by which time the Cultural Revolution has just ended).
【译文】他一九八零年去了美国,那时文化大革命刚刚结束。
The traffic might be very busy now,(in which case we may be considerably delayed).
【译文】现在的交通可能很繁忙,如此一来,我们可能会耽搁很久。
