定语从句中只能用which,不能用that的几种情况
1.在介词后面的关系代词用which而不能用that。即“介词+which(代物)”例如:
The picture for which he paid $1,000 was once owned by a duke.
他花了1000美元买下的画曾为一名公爵所拥有。
2.在非限定性定语从句中不能用that。例如:
Crusoe's dog, which was very old now, became ill and died.
克鲁索的狗,现在已经很老了,病死了。
3.有两个定语从句,其中一个关系代词已有which,另一个可以用that。相反,如果其中一个为that,另一个可以用which。
Edison built up a factory which produced things that had never been seen before.
爱迪生办了一个工厂,生产过去从未见过的东西。
