一、同位语从句细讲
1. 当从句是陈述句的时候,引导词用 that
注意:
① 同位语从句引导词 that 无含义,不充当成分,不可省略。
② 同位语从句与其说明的名词或代词为同一内容,故可以用 is 把前边的中心词和从句连接成一个句子。
③ 同位语从句和先行词之间没有逗号。
2. 当从句时一般疑问句时,引导词用 whether(是否)
举例:
① 它是对还是错这个问题取决于结果。
【翻译】 The question whether it is right or wrong depends on the result.
② 他们正面临是否依然从事教育行业的问题。
【翻译】 They are faced with the problem whether they are still in teaching industry.
③ 他必须回答他是否同意这样一个问题。
【翻译】 He must answer the question whether he agrees with it or not.
④ 他还没有下是否确定要考研的决定。
【翻译】 He hasn't made up his mind whether he will take the postgraduate entrance exam.
3. 当从句是特殊疑问句时,引导词用特殊疑问词
① 谁应该去和公司谈判这个问题需要仔细考虑。
【翻译】 The problem who should negotiate with the company needs careful consideration.
② 他在文城呆了多久这个问题至今都是一个谜。
【翻译】 The question how long he stayed in Wencheng remains a mystery.

2. 长难句分析
如何识别同位语从句?
答:只要在名词后面见到有引导词出现,暂定为同位语从句(更可能是定语从句,90%是定语从句)。具体是什么讲定语从句的时候会讲。
如果同位语从句比较简单,翻译时则放在名词(短语)的前面;如果比较复杂,则采取后置的方法,用“那就是”“即”或“ :”连接名词(短语)和从句。

⑥ Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wonder if they shouldn’t have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in their lives.
