二,、關(guān)系代詞WHAT

關(guān)系代詞WHAT也有很多用法,。它可引起主語從句、賓語從句,、表語從句等,；它沒有疑問的含義,相當(dāng)于that、which,、the thing(s) that(which),或the…that(which),從句表示的是事物,。關(guān)系代詞WHAT在不同情況下有不同意思，其主要用法如下：

1．主語從句,。例如：

What is beautiful is not always good. [美的東西并不總是好的,。]

What happened after that was interesting. [后來發(fā)生的事挺有意思。]

值得一提的是,，當(dāng)what引起主語從句時,主句謂語動詞數(shù)的形式比較復(fù)雜,。中國著名語言學(xué)家周海中先生在1985年發(fā)表的《關(guān)于what-分句作主語的主謂一致問題》一文中，對主句謂語動詞數(shù)的形式做了深入探究,。其中,，周先生指出：當(dāng)主句的表語是動詞不定式、動詞V-ing和從句時,，謂語動詞只能用單數(shù)形式,。他提供了以下的實例：

What he is suited for is to be loved. (J. Bayley: Shakespeare and Tragedy)

What we're doing is getting a chap used to getting up, going to work, learning how to behave in a workshop. (New Statesman, 15 June 1984)

What it comes down to is that the big cars are considered better buys. (U. S. News & World Report, January 18, 1982)

2．賓語從句,。例如：

I could hardly believe what he had told me. [我簡直不敢相信他所告訴我的。]

His mother gives him what he asks for. [他要什么他母親就給他什么,。]

3．表語從句,。例如：

Books are what we need most. [書是我們最需要的東西。]

He is not what he was five years ago. [他不再是五年前的他了,。]
