摘要:同学们在读雅思阅读文章的时候经常会遇到各种各样的复合句。有些时候,可能就会因为一些基础语法点的欠缺而导致句子读不懂。今天我们就来看看朗播老师是如何解答定语从句中which指代问题的。
## 学生提问
Importing the grain, which would have been expensive and time consuming for the Dutch to have produced themselves, kept the price of grain low and thus stimulated individual demand for other foodstuffs and consumer goods.
老师,这个which指代什么?是to have produced themselves吗?
## 权威解答
which在这里引导定语从句,指的是前面的grain,which在从句中做主语。
还原成原句就是:The grain would have been expensive and time consuming for the Dutch to have produced themselves.
后面的不定式to have produced themselves是做Dutch的定语,对于【自己生产的】荷兰人来说,是耗费时间的。
## 知识点梳理
which可以引导定语从句,修饰事物的先行词,在定语从句中可以充当主语、宾语或者表语。
例如:
① He was reading a book, <u>which was about war</u>.
他正在读一本关于战争的书。(关系代词which在修饰book的定语从句中充当主语。)
② He was reading a book, <u>which he had bought from London</u>.
他正在读一本书, 这本书是从伦敦买回来的。(关系代词which在修饰book的定语从句中充当宾语。)
相信通过以上讲解,大家对which指代的问题应该更加清楚了。弄清楚在定语从句中which的所指,理解句子含义也就不难了。
