English Grammar -Relative Clauses 關係子句

 ◇ Relative Clauses
關係子句


  非限定關係子句作為前面提過名詞(先行詞)的補充說明。限定和非限定用法的差別在於,限定用法不會加逗點,使用時機為先行詞不明確,而需要子句來「指示」和「限制」先行詞。非限定用法則會加逗點,因為先行詞明確,非限定關係子句僅是「補充說明」,若省略補充說明的資訊,仍是一個完整句。以句子為例,It contains flavonoids, which lower blood pressure and increase blood flow. 其中的 "which lower blood pressure and increase blood flow" 只是補充說明名詞 flavonoids 的功用,若省略成 "It contains flavonoids." 也還會是一項完整的資訊唷。


Example:


1. This film is praised for its use of montage, which is a technique compressing time and space into a series of shots.

  這部電影用了「蒙太奇」手法,將時空壓縮成一系列鏡頭的剪接技巧,因而大受好評。


2. The bar is located on Pine Street, which gets pretty busy at night.

  這間酒吧位於松林街上,這條街在晚上會變得很熱鬧。


3. I really want to win this tournament, which has a large prize pool.

  我真得很想要贏得這場比賽,因為這比賽的獎金豐厚。
