到底要用which还是that?
嗨各位~我是Lily。最近很多同学在题目中遇到which vs that的问题。接下来,我们用
GMAT角度来看看which 跟 that各自的特徵。注意在探讨用法时应尽量依据该题目语意分
析!
先说结论: which/that 并不是 GMAT 首要考点,在这里主要是以补充方式,培养同学基
本修饰的语感。但 that/which 通常不会是 GMAT 优先考点喔!
1. 非限定和限定的关系
(1) I avoid dogs, which appear too excited.
(2) I avoid dogs that appear too excited.
第一句的 which,说明 dogs “generally”来说就是 too excited,这是属於非限定的
用法。
句意为: 我怕狗,狗大多都是 too excited。
第二句的 that,特别指定 “too excited” 的狗,这是属於限定的用法。
句意为: 我怕 “too excited” 的这群狗。
2. 修饰位置比较
which “优先”修饰最接近的名词,而 that 则可以跳过补充资讯,修饰前面主要资讯
我们拿两题 SC 来做验证:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase their
share of the country's $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent,
a market ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.
A. their share of the country's $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10
percent, a market ranging
B. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in
the country, which ranges
C. to 10 percent from 6 percent in their share of the $21 billion book market
in the country, a market ranging
D. in its share, from 6 percent to 10 percent, of the $21 billion book market
in the country, which ranges
E. to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country's $21 billion book
market, which ranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
这题 A, C 的 their 没有指代对象,而 “which ranges from obscure textbooks to
mass-market paperbacks”,就句意而言绝对要指代 “book market”,而不是”
country”,所以正确答案 (E)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The organic food industry has organized a successful grassroots campaign –
using Web sites, public meetings, and also mass mailings – that have
convinced the Department of Agriculture to change the proposed federal
regulations for organically grown food.
A. using Web sites, public meetings, and also mass mailings – that have
convinced
B. using Web sites, public meetings, and mass mailings – that has convinced
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
这题的 “that have/has convinced”,可以跳过中间破折号的补充资讯,直接修饰 “
grassroots campaign”,而指代对象为单数,所以答案选 (B) “that has convinced”
。
