關係子句前後不加逗號時為「限定用法」。
例 I have a sister who lives in America. 我有一個住在美國的妹妹。
→ 我還有其他妹妹,故需加以限定才能清楚溝通。
關係子句前後加逗號時為「非限定用法」,具「補述」的作用。需注意,非限定關係子句的關係代名詞不論「表人」或「非表人」皆不可用 that 來代替。
例 I have a sister, who lives in America. 我有一個妹妹,她住在美國。
= I have a sister, and she lives in America.
→ 我只有一個妹妹。(因僅一個妹妹,無限定必要。)
(A) who is known as
(B) who is known for
(C) that is known as
(D) that is known for
(E) she is known as
答案:(B)
翻譯:蛋糕是我祖母烤的,她以美味的甜點與廚藝「著稱」。
解說:這個題目的考點有二:首先須理解片語 be known for(指一個人因為某個特點或技能而出名)與 be known as(指一個人被稱為某個名字或頭銜)的差別。很顯然,此句是要表達奶奶因為她美味的甜點和烹飪技巧而出名,因此選項 (A)(C)(E) 可先排除。 其次,此關係子句是具補述作用的「非限定用法」,逗點後面的部分還原之後為單句 She is known for her delicious desserts and culinary skills,在此用關係代名詞 who 代替主詞 she,引導關係子句修飾先行詞 my grandmother,故正確答案為 (B)。
