请求解释个英语语法问题
Attached to the booking confirmation will be a note showing the balance due on your holiday and the date by which it is payable.
这是剑桥雅思阅读里的一句原话,请问在关系副词which前为什么要加by,还有一些句子是to which,with which等.都不太理解前面的那个介词,
十分感谢朋友们的回答,那向下面这句里的 "Half Of Which" 又是怎么理解呢?
When a sprinter runs,Yessis explains,her foot stays in contact with the ground for just under a tenth of a second,half of which is devoted to landing and the other half to pushing off.
要解答你的问题需要从两个方面着手,即,语法与词法.
1) 语法问题:
定语从句的引导词在定语从句里有三个功能:a/ 引出定语从句;b/ 在从句中代替先行词的词义;c/ 在从句中做一个语法功能.根据这三点,我们不妨将你的原句中定语从句单独拆分出来 “by which it is payable”,which 在从句中代替了先行词的词义,则 “by the date it is payable”.将句子弄顺后,“it is payable by the date”.能理解吗?
2) 词法问题:
by 介词的词义在这里是 “截止到 .时候”,这样,你就明白了了吧.
关于其他几个介词 “to which” “with which” 等等,见例句 a/ We have sent you the agreement to which several other supporting document are attached.; b/ The government official distributed the tools with which local people are fighting the flooding.
使用合适的介词要看定语从句中动词或句意来确定,像第一句用了 “to” ,那是 attach 所需要的,第二句用了 “with” ,那是fight flooding with some tools 所需要的.
若再有不清楚,欢迎追问,以求理解.
再问: 十分感谢您的回答,有点懂了,谢谢。那向下面这句里的 "Half Of Which" 又是怎么理解呢? When a sprinter runs, Yessis explains, her foot stays in contact with the ground for just under a tenth of a second, half of which is devoted to landing and the other half to pushing off.
再答: 不错,这里的现行词是 “a tenth of a second” ,half of which 在定语从句中做主语,引导词在定语从句里做 of 的介词宾语。即:half of a tenth of a second (which)。
