賓語從句是名詞性從句的一種,在句子中起賓語作用,是從句中出現(xiàn)率最高難度最大的類型之一,賓語從句知識點雜亂,細節(jié)多,很容易讓人疑惑,并且也有一些特殊的用法,小編這次就為大家?guī)韙he fact that引導的賓語從句的用法。

一、引導從句用作介詞的賓語
按英語習慣,介詞后面通常不能直接跟一個that從句作賓語,遇此情況,一個高明的做法是,在that從句前使用the fact。這樣一來,就變成了the fact用作介詞的賓語,而其后的that從句則成了the fact的同位語從句。如:
They were worried over the fact that you were sick. 他們?yōu)槟闵“l(fā)愁。
I didn’t go out because of the fact that it was raining. 因為在下雨,所以我沒出去。
Were it not for the fact that you helped me, I would be homeless. 若非你的幫助,我仍會無家可歸。
He must face up to the fact that he is no longer young. 他必須勇于正視自己不再年輕這一事實。
It’s time you woke up to the fact that you’re not very popular. 你早就該明白你不怎么受歡迎了。
The judge paid a lot of attention to the fact that the child was unhappy at home. 法官非常注意這一情況,即孩子在家里并不快樂。
He said the parents were responsible for the fact that the child had run away. 他說孩子父母應對孩子逃跑一事負責。
注:英語中只有極個別介詞(如except等)可直接跟that從句。如:
The two books are the same except that this one has an answer key at the back. 除了這本書后面有問題答案以外, 這兩本書完全一樣。

二、引導從句用作動詞的賓語
英語中有的動詞雖為及物動詞,可接名詞或代詞作賓語,但通常不接that從句作賓語。若語義上需要接一個that從句,則可借助the fact結(jié)構(gòu)。如:
I dislike the fact that he smokes. 我厭惡他吸煙。
No one can deny the fact that fire burns. 無人能否認火能燃燒的事實。
You can’t escape the fact that she has got married three times. 她結(jié)過三次婚,這個事實你是不能逃避的。

I admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them on the telephone. 我羨慕他經(jīng)常在課外與學生聊天或通過電話與學生聊天。

以上就是這次為大家?guī)淼膬?nèi)容了,除了常規(guī)用法以外,大家也要留心這些特殊用法,正是這種較為少見的知識點才更容易成為考試常出現(xiàn)的重點。
