学员疑问: To classify parenting as a personal choice for which there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits. 老师,请讲一下for which的用法和第二个is的主语。
老师解答:句子结构是:To classify parenting as a personal choice(主语) for which there is no collective responsibility(定语从句) is(系动词) not merely to ignore the social benefits.(表语)。其中for which there is no collective responsibility是(介词+which)引导定语从句修饰a personal choice,for which =for the personal choice,放到定语从句中理解则是:there is no collective responsibility for the personal choice 。从结构可知,第二个is的主语 To classify parenting as a personal choice
点评分析:首先要了解定语从句的概念,即相当于一个形容词的作用来修饰前面的先行词,而定语从句的引导词通常有三类:a. 关系代词;b.介词+关系代词;c. 关系副词。再者,要明确从句也是一个完整的句子,需要有完整的句子结构,必须符合五大基本句型的某一种。最后,(介词+关系代词)引导定语从句时,需要明确介词的用法或搭配关系。
