Key structures 关键句型
介词和关系代词搭配的用法：（决定介词位置的四个因素）
1>在正式的用法和用于书面语中, 当定语从句的关系代词是介词的宾语时, 能够把可移位
的介词提前放在关系代词的前面。
-- This is the person about whom I was telling you.
-- Is this the book for which you asked me?
2>在非正式的用法和口语当中, 介词一般要放在从句的末尾。
3>有些动词＋介词, 合成词组被看作是不可分隔的语言单位。这个时候介词必须紧跟动词,
不可移位
-- take after, account for
4>在很多情况下, 介词和关系代词构成独立的介词短语, 在从句中起着状语作用, 与从句的
谓语动词毫无关系, 不是谓语动词的一部分。这时介词始终位于关系代词之前。
-- He described it was a very agreeable situation located within two small hills. + In the midst of
two small hills, flowed a great river. He described it as a very agreeable situations located
within tow small hills in the midst of which flowed a great river.
-- Mrs. Ramsay received an anonymous letter in which the writer stated that Rastus was in safe
hands.
