hello~各位小伙伴,在阅读英语文章的时候,总能看到of which这个组合,所以我们今天就来一起看看of which在句子当中的表达吧!
当然也会复习一下非限制性定语从句的。
引入of which
例句:Performing the formal bows is one of the important parts of chinese wedding ceremony,the process of which is the first bow to the heaven and earth,the second to parents,and the third to each other.(摘自英语课件)
(bow:鞠躬;wedding ceremony:结婚典礼;heaven:天;performing the formal bows:拜堂)
解析:
大家应该都见过:名词1+of+名词2的结构吧。
the map of China.中心词是map(名词1),China(名词2)只是用来修饰地图(名词1)的。
所以the process of which表达的是:……的一个过程,which则是指……的这部分内容。
the process of which所指的的就是performing the formal bows的这个过程。
此处:which=performing the formal bows.
the process of which=the process of performing the formal bows.
现在你对of which的结构是不是有了一个基本的了解呢!
学习of which
在认识了of which 之后,我们来一起看看它的构成吧。
结构:the+名词+of which。
但是要注意,of which不能用来指人,只可以用来指物。
复习
They regard a person"s death as the"returning to heaven",which means backing to mother nature"s body.(摘自英语课件)
(regard A as B:把A认为、当成B)
这就是which的非限制性定语从句(去掉which后面的部分,前面的句意不变且结构完整)
