同位语从句的特殊形式
1. 间隔同位语从句
同位语从句通常是跟在它解释或说明的名词后,但在有些情况下,由于句子结构的原因,同位语从句不紧跟在名词后,而是被其他的词隔开。
例句:The news got about that he had won a car in the lottery.
语法:这是一个主从复合句。that引导的是同位语从句,作news的同位语。此处用了间隔同位语从句,正常的语序应该是The news that he had won a car in the lottery got about.
译文:消息传开了,说他中彩得了一辆汽车。
2. 短语后的同位语从句
短语 on condition, on supposition, on the ground(s),on the assumption,with the exception, on the understanding, in spite of the fact后面that引导的从句是同位语从句。
例句:I will come on condition that John is invited.
语法:这是一个主从复合句。that引导的是同位语从句,作短语on condition的同位语。
译文:如果约翰也被邀请的话,我就来。
3. 固定句式后的同位语从句
句式There be+no doubt(hope/chance/possibility)后面that引导的从句是同位语从句。
例句:There is no doubt that grades have improved and interest in education has revived.
语法:这是一个主从复合句,that引导的是同位语从句,作no doubt的同位语。
译文:毫无疑问的是,成绩已经提高了,而且上学的兴趣也恢复了。
