“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句

如:This is the man to whom I referred.我指的就是这个人。
This is the man (whom) I referred to.我指的就是这个人。
2.直接用于介词后作宾语的关系代词which不能换成that,直接用于介词后作宾语的关系代词whom不能换成who。但若介词用于句末,则用作宾语的which,whom也可换成that,who,或者省略。
如:这是一个我们讨论了许多的问题。This is a subject about which we have talked a lot.(which不能换成that,也不能省略)
This is a subject which we have talked about a lot.这是一个我们讨论了许多的问题。(which可以换成that,也可以省略)

That is the reason why[=for which]he must apologize.那就是他必须道歉的原因。
4.在很正式的文体中,“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句可紧缩成“介词+关系代词+不定式”结构。如:在那儿孩子们有个玩耍的花园。正:There the children had a garden in which to play.(很正式)
正:There the children had a garden in which they could play.(较正式)
正:There the children had a garden to play in.(较口语化)
注:这类“介词+关系代词+不定式”结构中的介词不能没有,也不能放在句末。如不能说There the children had a garden which to play in.
“介词+关系代词”的结构
1.“介词+ which”在关系分句中分别可作时间、地点和原因状语,代替相应的关系副词when, where和why。如:
①I still remember the day on which (=when) I first came to school.我仍然记得初来学校的那一天。
②The factory in which (= where) I work is a large one.我工作的工厂是一个大厂子。
2.“介词+ which(指物)/whom(指人)”在关系分句中作地点状语,表示存在关系,关系分句主谓常须倒装。如:
①They arrived at a farm house, in front of which sat a small boy.他们来到一处农舍,前边坐着一个小男孩。
②I saw a man, on the head of whom stood a bird.我看见一个人,他的头上有一只鸟。
3.“不定代词或数词+ of + which(指物)/whom(指人)”在关系分句中作主语,说明整体中的一部分。如:
①China has a lot of islands, one of which is Diaoyu.中国有许多岛屿,其中之一是钓鱼岛。
②There are a lot of students here, none of whom like the film.这里有许多学生,他们之中无人喜欢这部电影。
4.“介词+ which(指物)/whom(指人)”在关系分句中作目的、方式或地点状语。如:
①Could you tell me for whom you’ve bought this coat? 你能告诉我这件衣服是给谁买的吗?
②The man, from whom I learned the news,is an engineer.这人是一位工程师,我是从他那里得到这个消息的。
5.“介词+ which(指物)/whom(指人)”用于被动结构的关系分句中,作状语,说明动作的执行者。如:
①The wolf by which the sheep was killed was shot.伤害羊的那只狼被打死了。
②The man by whom the wolf was shot was a good hunter.打死狼的那人是一个好猎手。
6.“名词+of which”代替“whose+名词”在关系分句中作定语。如:

②He mentioned a book, the title of which (= whose title) I’ve forgotten.他提到一本书,书名我忘了。

②The driver was the man from whose room she had stolen the maps.司机就是那个男人,她从他的房间偷走地图。
8.“介词+which+不定式”。此种用法多见于正文体中,相当于一个带有主语和谓语的定语从句。如:
