新概念英语从句是指用于复合句中担当某个句子成分的主谓结构。虽说从句自身的句子结构是完整的,但是它不能视为独立的句子,因为它离开了主语就无法独立、完整地表达意思。按其 所能表达的意义而言,它相当于一个词或是一个词组. 例如: 1) Because they talk at home while the television is on , many people think they can talk at movies as well . (状语从句)许多人在家里是边看电视边谈话,所以他们认为在电影院也可以如此。 2) Whether he comes or not doesn't make any difference to me. (主语从句)他来与不来对我都一样。 3)There is disagreement among economists about what money is and how money is measured(宾语从句)什么是货币以及怎样计量货币经济学家之间存有分歧。 4)China is not what it used to be . (表语从句)中国不是它过去的样子了。 5)Is there any proof that the food of plant differs from that of animals? (同位语从句)有没有什么证据说明植物性食品不同于动物性食品? 6) Taxes consist of money that people pay to support their government. (定语从句) 税款是人们支持政府而交的钱。 如果将上面的复合句中所有的从句都独立出来,那将是这样的: 1) Because they talk at home while the television is on 2) Whether he comes or not |
