17 表示人或物的所屬關(guān)系,用whose Track 017
我們用whose表示所屬關(guān)系,其作用就如同物主代詞my,your,her,his,their以及our一樣,whose后邊要接名詞。whose的先行詞可是人也可是物。“whose+名詞”在從句中可作主語、 動詞賓語或介詞賓語。

透過窗子,我看到了一個女孩,她的美麗令我驚嘆。
b. It was a meeting whose importance I did not realize at the time. (作動詞賓語,whose指事物a meeting)

c. Atlas (in Greek mythology) was a kneeling man on whose shoulders the world rested. (作介詞賓語,whose指人a kneeling man)
