some of whom – 與some of them有什麼差別?

關係代名詞可以搭配其他用法,讓句型有變化,運用在寫作上是加分利器喔!關係代名詞有連接與代替的功能,可以和「and +數量詞 + of 代名詞」作代換,在這種用法中必須加逗點。

常用的數量詞有:some、several、many、most、few、all、both、half、none、neither、part、one、two….等。因此,如果句子有「… N, and some of them + V」的結構可以代換成「… N(物), some of which + V」或「… N(人), some of whom + V」。

數量詞+of+關代(whom/which)的用法

  1. 關係代名詞兼具連接與代替的功能,可以和「and +數量詞 + of 代名詞」作代換,變成「先行詞, 數量詞 + of 關代」的結構。
  2. 在這種用法中必須加逗點。
  3. 常用的數量詞有:some、several、many、most、few、all、both、half、none、neither、part、one、two….等。
  4. 因為介系詞of的關係,此用法中的關代不可用that。
  5. 在形容詞子句中,主詞是數量詞,因此子句中的動詞單複數必須和主詞相符。

 

1. 先行詞是人:… N(人), 數量詞 + of whom + V

Ian has many good friends, and some of them are basketball fans.

= Ian has many good friends, some of whom are basketball fans.

(Ian有很多好友,他們有些人是籃球迷。)

→ 先行詞是人(friends),所以「and(連接詞)+some of+ them(代名詞)」= , some of+ whom(連接+代替)。

→ and和whom不可連用,以免功能重複

 

The attendees of this conference are 20 young men, and all of them are prospective managers of big companies.

= The attendees of this conference are 20 young men, all of whom are prospective managers of big companies.

(這場會議的參加者是20個年輕人,全都是大公司的未來經理。)

→ 先行詞是人(men),所以「and(連接詞)+all of+ them(代名詞)」= , all of+ whom(連接+代替)

→ 這種用法中必須加逗號

 

In this village live 500 people, and two thirds of them are fast runners.

= In this village live 500 people, two thirds of whom are fast runners.

(這個村子住著500人,其中三分之二是跑得快的人。)

→ 先行詞是人(people),所以「and(連接詞)+two thirds of+ them(代名詞)」= , two thirds of+ whom(連接+代替)

→ 主詞是2/3,2/3的人口為複數,使用複數動詞are

 

2. 先行詞是動物或物:… N(動物/物), 數量詞 + of which + V

Oliver keeps four dogs, and one of them guards his house.

= Oliver keeps four dogs, one of which guards his house.

(Oliver養四隻狗,其中一隻幫他看門。)

→ 先行詞是動物(dogs),所以「and(連接詞)+one of + them(代名詞)」= , one of+ which(連接+代替)

→ 形容詞子句中的主詞是one,搭配單數動詞guards

 

Julia read ten books, and most of them were fictions.

= Julia read ten books, most of which were fictions.

(Julia讀了十本書,大部分是小說。)

→ 先行詞是物(books),所以「and(連接詞)+most of+ them(代名詞)」= , most of+ which(連接+代替)。

→ 沒有連接詞and時,必須用關代which/whom才可以連接二個句子

 

The evil woman gave the princess an apple, and part of it was poisoned.

= The evil woman gave the princess an apple, part of which was poisoned.

(邪惡的女人給了公主一個蘋果,其中一部分被下毒了 。)

→ 先行詞是物(an apple),所以「and(連接詞)+part of+ it(代名詞)」= , part of+ which(連接+代替)。

→ 一顆蘋果的part仍然視為單數,故形容詞子句裡的動詞為單數was
