"Whom"是一個用於指代人的代詞,通常在句子中作為賓語或介賓使用。以下是一些使用"whom"的例子:
賓語使用:
"Whom have I in heaven but you?" 除你以外,在天上我還能有誰?
"Do you know whom he is waiting for?" 你知道他在等誰嗎?
"He is the teacher whom I met yesterday." 他是我昨天遇到的老師。
介賓使用:
"With whom are you going?" 你和誰一起去?
"To whom should I speak?" 我要和誰談話呢?
"He just asked me, with whom I was going to London." 他只是問我,我要和誰去倫敦。
定語從句中:
"The person with whom I worked had many years of experience." 和我一起工作的人有許多年的經驗。
"The man whom she married was rich and handsome." 她嫁給了又富又帥的男人。
"The man whom I told you about is Jimmy." 那個我跟你說過的人就是吉米。
在定語從句中,"whom"通常指代先行詞,並在從句中作為賓語。在某些情況下,"whom"可以省略,尤其是當先行詞是動詞的賓語時。例如:"He is the teacher I met yesterday."
