主语从句
一、由what(whatever,whoever)等代词引导的主语从句。
What they are after is money. 他们追求的是金钱。
Whatever was said here must be kept secret. 这里说的话都应当保密。
二、由连词that引导的主语从句。其中that一般不可省略,但若用it作形式主语, that从句后置时,则可省略。为避免头重脚轻,我们倾向用it开头,后接be,seem等。如果句子是疑问形式,就只能用带it的结构。
That money doesn't grow on trees should be obvious.
金钱不能从树上长出来是显而易见的。
It is obvious(that)money doesn't grow on trees .显而易见,金钱是不能从树上长出来的。
Has it been announced when the planes are to take off?飞机什么时候起飞宣布了没有?
注意:
1)选用what还是用that引导主语从句要根据关联词在从句中是否担任成分而定。且what(以及whatever,whoever等)引导的主语从句一般不用it作形式主语。
