Notes 一、同位语从句的概念 二、同位语从句的引导词 三、其后常用同位语从句的名词 四、同位语从句与定语从句的区别

同位语从句，即从句在句中作主语或宾语的同 位语，是对句子主语或宾语的解释、说明。 e.g. We heard the news that our team had won. The fact that the transport of the goods costs too much was not discussed. Sydney kept his promise that he would always do anything he could for Lucie to make sure of her happiness.

同位语从句的引导词常用 that, wh-, how 等。 e.g. I have no idea when he will be back. how he can get the treasure. where the concert will be hold. who can finish the work. why it happened. which pen is mine. what we should do next. whom they are talking about. whether it’ll rain tomorrow. that our football team won the game.

其后常用同位语从句的名词主要是抽象名词，如： belief, doubt, fact, hope, idea, news, possibility, thought, message, problem, promise, 等等。

同位语从句与定语从句的区别 一、比较： The suggestion that we discuss the problem all over again is a good one. 同位语从句： 定语从句 : The suggestion that he gave at the meeting was a good one. What is the suggestion? The suggestion is that we discuss the problem all over again. Which suggestion was a good one? The suggestion that he gave at the meeting.

二、区别 1 、 同位语从句是对前面的名词作进一步解释、 说明它是什么、是谁； that 不充当句子成份。 2 、 定语从句是修饰前面的先行词； that 在句 中充当主语或宾语，有实际意义。

例 1 ： Information has been put forward ____ more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities.(NMET2001 上海 ) A. while B. that C. when D. as 析：答案为 B 。 more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities 是 Information 的内容，且 Information 不在从句中作成分，所以该句为 同位语从句。应将该句区别于： It is said that more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities ， this is the information ____ has been put forward. A.what B. that C. when D. as 析：答案为 B 。 that has been put forward 为 information 的修饰性定语，且 information 在从句中作主语，所以该句为定语从句。 例 2 ： She heard a terrible noise,____ brought her heart into her mouth.(MET91) A. it B. which C. this D. that 析：答案为 B 。分析语境含义、句子结构和句子成分可知，该句为非限制性 定语从句，先行词为 a terrible noise ，且它在从句中作主语。应将该句区别于： I can't stand the terrible noise ____ she is crying loudly. A. it B. which C. this D. that 析：答案为 D 。 she is crying loudly 是 the terrible noise 的内容，且 the terrible noise 不在从句中作成分，所以该句为同位语从句。
