I’m afraid that…句式中的that从句是什么从句
有朋友在本站“答疑中心”问:I’m afraid that…句式中的that从句是什么从句。
关于“形容词+that从句”中that从句充当什么成分,查了一下有关语法著作。各家看法如下:
■《张道真英语语法》觉得:“be+形容词”这种结构后常可跟从句,在定义上有时接近宾语,但在结构上接近状语:
I’m afraidI have made a serious mistake. 我担忧我有紧急错误。
We are surethat we shall succeed. 大家有把握会成功。
We are confidentwe can overcome these difficulties. 大家有信心克服这类困难。
I’m not surewhere she lives. 我不敢一定她住哪儿。
I’m not sure whether he still works there. 我不可以一定他是不是还在那里工作。
I’m not certain who he is. 我不可以一定他是哪个。
She was not certain whether he would come. 她不可以一定他会不会来。
■章振邦的《新编英语语法》觉得:语法学家们对此怎么看不一。
有人觉得that从句是状语从句。如:
I’m glad you like it.
= I’m glad because you like it.
也有人觉得是同位语从句。如:
I’m amazed that you should have arrived so early.
= I’m amazed at the fact that you should have arrived so early.
也有人觉得是宾语从句。如:
I’m afraid thatg she can’t succeed in her plans.
=I fear that she can’t succeed in her plans.
■《牛津英语语法》觉得:这种是名词性从句,但没说明是宾语从句还是同位语从句。
