They were delighted at the news that their team had won The news was that their team had won 從引導(dǎo)詞來看：引導(dǎo)詞 that在同位語從句中是連詞，只起連接作用，無具體詞義，that不可省略； that在定語從句中是關(guān)系代詞，它在從句中充當(dāng)一定成分 —— 主語或賓語，有具體詞義，作賓語時還可以省略。例如： a) The factory ________ we visited yesterday is a chemical one. b) The news ________ he will leave for Shanghai is true. (that) that 定語從句 同位語從句 同位語從句的簡易判斷方法：同位語 與其先行詞之間在邏輯上是“主語 +be+表語”的同位語關(guān)系。所以，可以在名詞從句之間加系動詞 be，使之構(gòu)成一個新句子，如果合乎邏輯，句子通順，則原句為同位語從句；定語從句是不能夠有系表結(jié)構(gòu)把先行詞與從句連接起來的。例如： The belief that the earth is flat is still held in some countries. →_______________________________ . The belief is that the earth is flat 另外，能用于名詞性從句的名詞有： ability, patience, anxiety, answer, order, report, wish, decision, suggestion, belief, doubt, fact, hope, message, news, promise, question, reply等等。 1.
