一個(gè)名詞(或其它形式)對(duì)另一個(gè)名詞或代詞進(jìn)行修飾,限定或說(shuō)明,這個(gè)名詞(或其它形式)就是同位語(yǔ)。
同位語(yǔ)從句在句中的位置
一般情況下同位語(yǔ)從句跟在某些名詞(如news, idea, fact, promise, hope, message等)的后面,用以說(shuō)明該名詞所表達(dá)的具體內(nèi)容。
例如:
The news that our women volleyball team had won the championship encouraged us all greatly.
我們女排贏得冠軍的消息大大地鼓舞了我們所有人。
I've come from Mr Wang with a message that he won't be able to see you this afternoon.我從王先生那邊得知一個(gè)消息,他說(shuō)他今天下午不能來(lái)看你了。
2.有時(shí)同位語(yǔ)從句可以不緊跟在它所說(shuō)明的名詞后,而被別的詞語(yǔ)隔開,在語(yǔ)法上叫做分隔式同位語(yǔ)從句。
例如:
The thought came to her that maybe she had left the door open when she left home.
她突然想起可能在她離開家時(shí)沒把門關(guān)上。
The story goes that he failed in the College Entrance Examinations again.
據(jù)說(shuō)他高考又落榜了。
