Step 1: Some practical explanations of Attributive Clause
一、经常使用定语从句的场合:
1.先行词为独一无二的物体时。如:The sun, which rises in the east, gives us heat and light.太阳从东边升起,给我们发出光和热。
2.先行词是指物的专有名词时。如:
The Great Wall, which is called in Chinese “The Ten Thousand Li Great Wall”, is actually more than 6,000 kilometers long.
长城,中国人称作“万里长城”,实际上 6,000多公里。
3.先行词指物且被指示代词或人称代词所修饰时。如:This is her house, which was built last year. 这是她的房子,是去年建的。
4.定语从句修饰整个主句时。如:He is from America, which I know from his accent. 他是美国人,这一点我从他的口音可以断定。
