在定语从句中,关系代词`that`可以在某些情况下省略,具体如下:
作为代词
当`that`在定语从句中代替前面所指的事物,尤其是在表示比较关系的状语从句中,可以省略。例如:`It is warmer in the south than (that) of the north.`
引导名词性从句作宾语
当`that`引导名词性从句(即宾语从句)时,可以省略。例如:`She said (that) she would come.`
作关系代词
当`that`在定语从句中作表语或宾语时,可以省略。例如:`Can I have the records (that) I lent you?`
在从句中作宾语
`that`在定语从句中作宾语时,往往可以省略。例如:`John once talked to his mom about the cities (that) he had visited abroad.`
在引导限定性定语从句时
有时`that`相当于`in which`, `at which`, `for which`或`on which`,并且在从句中可以省略。例如:`The book that I borrowed from the library was really interesting.`
建议
在定语从句中是否省略`that`,需要根据从句的结构和语境来判断。如果省略后句子仍然保持清晰和准确,则可以省略。但如果省略后可能导致句子含义不明确或语法上不成立,则应保留`that`。
