英语中,that引导的从句在句子中不可在介词后作介词的宾语,但是也有一些特殊的情况,今天我们一起来学习一下。
1.but that, except that, in that, beyond that 等这些看似在介词后面,但属于复合连词,实际上不在此限制中。
例句1:Tom knew nothing except that his mother was dead.
汤姆只知道他母亲死了,别的什么也不知道。
例句2:Nothing would make her happy but that I buy her a birthday gift.
除了我给她买生日礼物外,没有什么能让她高兴。
例句3:I have heard nothing beyond that Tom has become our leader.
除了汤姆成了我们的领导以外,我没有别的消息。
2. 介词后如果需要跟that从句作宾语,则需要加上形式宾语后再跟that 从句。
例句4:You may depend on it that I shall take care of your parents. 你可以放心,我将照顾你的父母。
例句5:I rely on it that Tom will meet me at the airport.
我指望着汤姆会到机场接我。
例句6:See to it that the children are safe in the park. 一定要确保孩子们在公园里的安全。
由以上学习可知,that引导的从句是不能直接作介词的宾语的,需要通过形式宾语才能作介词宾语。
