同位语一般置于本位语之后,可以不用标点符号隔开,也可以用逗号、冒号或破折号隔开,
例如:The thought came to him that maybe the enemy had fled the city.
这里thought就和它的由that引导的同位语从句被谓语部分came to him所分割。
同位语从句。
一个名词或代词后面有时可跟一个分句,对前者做进一步解释,说明它指的是谁或是什么等,这叫同位语。名词做同位语的情况最多,当然也有较复杂的结构。
例如:
We communists seek not official posts,but revolution.
The lay out plan was completed within three months,half the usual time.
Wei Fang,normally a timid girl,argued heatedly with them about it.
