17 表示人或物的所属关系,用whose Track 017
我们用whose表示所属关系,其作用就如同物主代词my,your,her,his,their以及our一样,whose后边要接名词。whose的先行词可是人也可是物。“whose+名词”在从句中可作主语、 动词宾语或介词宾语。

例句
a. When I looked through the window, I saw a girl whose beauty took my breath away. (作主语,whose指人a girl)
透过窗子,我看到了一个女孩,她的美丽令我惊叹。
b. It was a meeting whose importance I did not realize at the time. (作动词宾语,whose指事物a meeting)
我当时没有意识到这个会议的重要性。
c. Atlas (in Greek mythology) was a kneeling man on whose shoulders the world rested. (作介词宾语,whose指人a kneeling man)
阿特拉斯(古希腊神话中的人物)是一个跪着的人,世界端放在他的肩上。
