同位语从句
在复合句中用作同位语的从句称为同位语从句(appositive clause)。同位语从句的形式与定语从句相似。两者之前都有先行词,但是与先行词的关系不同:同位语从句与先行词同位或者等同,定语从句则与先行词是修饰关系。同位语从句的先行词多为news, fact, idea, thought, question, reply, report, remark等,关联词多用连词that。如:
★ The assumption that robots will make humans redundant and replaceable is groundless.
认为机器人将令人类变得多余和可取代的假设是站不住脚的。
★ We should not lose sight of the fact that significantly fewer women apply for senior positions in comparison with men.
我们不应该忽略这一事实和男性相比更少的女性申请上级职位。
关联词that在非正式文体中可以被省去。如:
★ He grabbed his suitcase and gave the impression he was boarding the London plane.
他拿起了手提箱,给人的印象是他要登上飞往伦敦的飞机了。(同位语从句he was boarding…省去了关联词that)
同位语从句偶尔用关联词whether引导。如:
★ He was tortured by the doubt whether or not he should venture to go south.
他为他是否可以冒险去南方这种疑虑所折磨。
疑问代词who, which, what和疑问副词where, when, why, how亦可引导同位语从句。如:
★ The question who should be responsible for this requires consideration.
谁该为此负责,这个问题需要考虑。
★ We should settle the question where we should dispose of the waste immediately.
我们需要马上解决在哪里处理那些垃圾的问题。
★ It is a question how it has been achieved.
那是一个它如何被实现了的问题。
同位语从句一般紧跟在其先行词之后,但有时也可以与先行词分开,置于句末。如:
★ The suggestion came from the public that the new policy should be implemented.
实施新政策的建议是公众提出来的。
