We've just heard a warning on the radio that a hurricane is likely to come.
上句中的 that 从句不是定语从句,而是同位语从句,其中心词是 a warning(中心词与其同位语从句被介词短语 on the radio 分隔开了)。同位语从句与定语从句主要有以下几个区别:
A. 在定语从句中 that 是关系代词或关系副词, 充当从句中的一个成分(主语、宾语、状语等), 而在同位语从句中 that 是个连词, 不充当从句的任何成分(如你所提出的句子那样)。
B. 同位语从句所指的中心词大都是概括性的抽象名词, 如 fact, news, idea, suggestion, warning 等。
C. 同位语从句所指的对象与其中心词所指的对象是一致的。例如, a warning = a hurricane is likely to come(参见 appositive clause or attributive clause)。而 that 定语从句却是对其中心词所表达的概念进行限定或区分(参见 idea )。请鉴别下列实例中 that 从句的类型:
-
His delay of an hour is due to the fact that the train met with a minor accident. (同位语从句) 火车出了点事故,他耽搁了一小时。
-
Several years later, word came that Napoleon himself was coming to inspect them. 几年以后,他们听说拿破仑要亲自来视察他们。
-
One of the men held the view that what the book said was right. 两个人中有一个认为书上说的是正确的。
-
The letter that I received yesterday was from my brother. (定语从句) 昨天我收到的信是我哥哥寄来的。
-
There's a feeling in me ____ we'll never know what a UFO is — not ever.
