what引导的_What能否引导插入语
【shitiku.jxxyjl.com--英语语法词汇】
首先请看下列例句:
1. later they discovered, what was news to him, that pamela was the headmaster’s daughter.
2. she is bright, and what is better,amiable.
3. she wore,what was common at that time,a red shirt.
从以上例句可以看出,这里的what似乎起了一种指代作用,这些句子完全可以改为下面的句子:
a. later they discovered that pamela was the headmaster"s daughter, which was news to him.
b. she is bright and amiable, which is better. (与原句意义不符合)
c. she wore a red shirt, which was common at that time.
由以上的转换我们基本上可以得出不完全的结论,即,what可以引导插入语,一般情况下,what可以转换为一个由which引导的非限定性定语从句。再如下面的例句:
4. jackie made us all annoyed, what was worse, he ruined all our plan.
5. he never joined in the usual sports of the boys, and what is remarkable, never went out in a boat on the river.
6. he is an interesting speaker, and, what is more important, he knows his subject thoroughly.
由以上例句,我们还可以看出,what在引导此类插入语时,其谓语动词常为连系动词。如:
7. i lost the chance, what seemed worse, nobody would employ me.
另外对于what一词,补充如下词组和短语,请大家以飨:
1. and what not 等等。如:i bought sugar, tea, eggs and what not.
2. give what for 斥责、惩罚。如:i"ll give you what for if you don"t stop that noise!
3. guess what 告诉你一个消息。guess what! the boss is getting married.
4. i"ll tell you what 我有一个主意。如:i"ll tell you what--i"ll be leaving for london soon.
5. know what is what 了解情况,在行。如:he"s a clever fellow; he knows what"s what.
6. know what one"s about 有头脑;会处理困境。如:it"s a dangerous job, but i know what it"s about.
7. or what 还是怎么的。如:shall we go or what?
8. so what 那又怎么样。如:you see he"ll fire me. so what?
9. what for 做什么用。如:what are you running for? what"s this switch for?
10. what have you 等等这类东西;应有尽有。如:the store sells big ones, small ones, medium ones, or what have you.
11. what if 要是...怎么办。如:what if she finds out that you"ve lost her book?
12. what is what 基本情况。如:when it comes to cooking, jenny knows what"s what?
13. what of... 怎么样?如:so much for the westbrooks. what of shelley? shelley gave his...
14. what of it? 那又有什么关系呢?如:--this is the fourth time she"s rung you in a week.--well, what of it?
15. what the devil/hell... 他妈的...什么/怎么(表示气愤。如:what the devil shall we do now?)
16. what with 由于...种种原因(多指不快之事)。如:what with the noise and the dogs we could hardly sleep late on sunday.
