關係代名詞 8
1.關係子句的be動詞後方介系詞片語 暨 普通動詞後方介系詞片語 之 介系詞的部分
將 主動提前至 先行詞與關係代名 之間
This is the house in which I grew up.
(= This is the house I grew up in. 屬於更現代的美語句型:“關係代名詞是受格的時候, 略去不說“. 一旦略去不說時, 介系詞回到原來的位置, 也就是 出現了文法中的特例:介系詞的後面竟然找不到位置上的受詞, 因為已經從下省略.)
I should want not merely to see the outline of her face, so that I could cherish it in my memory, but to study that face and find in it the living evidence of the sympathetic tenderness and patience with which she accomplished the difficult task of my education. ("Three Days to See", Helen Keller)
(= I should want not merely to see the outline of her face, so that I could cherish it in my memory, but to study that face and find in it the living evidence of the sympathetic tenderness and patience she accomplished the difficult task of my education with.)
2.複合關係代名詞
a. Whoever shows up is goin to win.
b. Whosever book this is, throw it away.
c. I'll give it to whomever needs it.
d. Whichever is OK with me.
e. Wherever you are, I will follow you.
f. Whenever I'm taking baths, I get calls.
g. However hard I try, I always fail.
*No matter how hard I try, I fail. (= However hard I try, I fail.)
此乃表退讓 Concession 句型, 意思是 Although I try hard, I fail.
*Whoever show up is going to win. (= Anyone who show up is going to win.)
複合關代是一個第三人稱單數
*Whosever 為 whose 之複合型; whosoever 是 whoever 的古字

*成為 topic noun, 後面常常加關係子句, 後面加逗號, 接主要子句
Whatever connection she has, ignore it.
Whomever it belongs to, delete it.
Whomever the ballot goes to, the political ambiance is not going to change.
*成為從屬連接詞, 不再跟著先行詞, 攜帶時間/地方副詞子句, 回到主要子句
