引导定语从句的who与which
英语中，who与which是定语从句中两个重要的引导词，在从句中充当主语或宾语(who可以代替其宾格形式whom)。who引导的定语从句只可用来修饰人，而which引导的定语从句通常用来修饰物。如：
The man who spoke last was Terry Green.
最后一个发言的人是泰瑞·格林。 (who在从句中作主语)
The boy who / whom you saw last week has left the town.
上周你看见的那个男孩已经离开这个镇子了。(who / whom在从句中作宾语)
He told a story which moved us deeply.
他讲了一个使我们深受感动的故事。 (which在从句中作主语)
This is a reason which we should not forget.
这是一个我们不应忘记的原因。 (which在从句中作宾语)
【友情提示】
关系代词which和that都可指物，一般情况下可以互换，但在下列情况下通常用that而不用which：
1. 当先行词是不定代词时。如：
There’s nothing that can be said about it. 有关此事没有什么可说的了。
2. 当先行词被形容词最高级、序数词、不定代词等修饰时。如：
This is the first car that he bought. 这是他买的第一辆小轿车。
This is the best school that I have ever seen. 这是我见过的最好的学校。
3. 当先行词既有人又有物时。如：
They mentioned the persons and the things that they were familiar with.
他们提到了他们所熟悉的人和事。
