GMAT【語法】that用法知多少

其實呢，主頁君大名GMATankfield，我喜歡你是寂靜的，仿佛你消失了一樣，遙遠而且哀傷，仿佛你已經死了，好歹這算一個秘密。

GMAT語法考試that用法有且僅有如下幾種，記清楚了就行。

1. 遠指代詞

「近指」——這是坦克菲爾德。

「遠指」——那是豌豆家屬。

如果按常理講

This is Tankfield. That is Pea.

在GMAT語法考試中就算錯。

GMAT語法考試規定，that表示遠指時是充當定語的，也就是說，that後面要有名詞中心語。所以需要這樣表達：

This nonchalant heart is Tankfield.

That tender elegant lady is Pea.

此外，可以用在比較結構中。AB兩項均有某物，A的該物與B的該物兩相比較，用that of B指代前面已經交待過的該物，也是成立的。

The personality of Pea, unbelievable or not, is in fact far better than that of Tankfield.

2. 強調句 It is… that…

其中，that不可省略

It is fate that smiles at the rip-roaring roller coaster inside Pea's mind.

It is Tankfield’s indifference that Pea takes for granted.

It is out of love rather than pity that Pea persists in the Sisyphean pursuit.

3. 定語從句關係代詞

a. 名詞+that+定語從句的謂語動詞

Tankfield boasts a heart that shows reluctance to accommodate Pea.

即先行詞作為定語從句主語的情況，that不可省略。

b. 名詞+that+定語從句的主語+謂語動詞

Pea sometimes cannot help lamenting for the transience of youth that she has wasted on Tankfield.

即先行詞作為定語從句賓語的情況，that可以省略。

4. 從屬連詞

a. 賓語從句

Pea is no longer afraid to acknowledge that her efforts to win Tankfield will possibly remain in vain.

此處that不可省略。除非謂語動詞是say：

Tankfield said she preferred spending time with a silk cocoon.

b. 主語從句

That Tankfield regards Pea as no different from others irritates Pea.

此處that不可省略。

當然，和主語從句比起來，GMAT語法更喜歡的是形式主語It：

It irritates Pea that Tankfield regards her as no different from others.

此處that亦不可省略。

c. 同位語從句

名詞+that+完整句

that不可省略

The thought that there is no chance that Tankfield reads all that is written on that platform fuels Pea’s courage to write on.

這個句子裡有幾個同位語從句？每個that怎麼解釋？哪個that可省？
