一件奇闻 记牢what(图)
南开中学 段胜利
常言道：世界之大，无奇不有。这不，在美国就发生了一件令人难以置信的事：
Lucky man survives after being run over by train
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. —— Talk about being lucky - a north Alabama man is alive after being run over by a train on Thursday afternoon. Huntsville Fire and Rescue officials said a train engineer spotted 61-year-old Arnold Romine lying across railroad ties. Witnesses said the conductor sounded the horn and tried to stop the train.
Firefighters said by the time the coal train was stopped, 8 rail cars had passed over Romine's body.
Miraculously, he suffered what appeared to be minor injuries. He was later treated and released at Huntsville Hospital.
It’s unclear why Romine was lying on the tracks.
看过报道，相信你会啧啧称奇——8节车厢碾过身体，竟然几乎未损毫发！
奇闻轶事，我们自然关注它是“什么（what）”，但有意思的是，在这则报道中，还有一个“what”的用法，是容易被我们忽略的，而恰恰又是高考涉及what使用的一个难点。
我们回过头来再看看这句话：
Miraculously, he suffered what appeared to be minor injuries.
神奇的是，他看上去只受了轻伤。
如果单说：Miraculously, he suffered minor injuries.我们会很好理解，而在suffered之后插上了what appeared to be…，使用了what引导的名词从句，把“看上去是…”的意思就表达出来了。
用这样的结构来设计单项选择的例子有很多，特别是使用与appear词义相近的seem的题目很多，例如：
1. After ____ seemed an endless wait, it was her turn to step into the doctor’s office.
A. it B. that
C. what D. which
2. The boy dived into the water and after _____ seemed to be a long time, he came up again.
A. that B. what
C. it D. which
3. After ___seemed a very long time, the badly-wounded soldier came back to life.
A. that B. what
C. which D. when
在上面的几个题目（答案CBB）中，不论题干的句意如何变化，“经过似乎是一段……（时间）”这个语义，都是借助after what seemed…来体现的。很多同学在答题时，都错误地选成了it。
有的同学认为，after也可以是个连词，在这里选择it，不就成了一个时间状语从句吗？
我们单看it seemed an endless wait（或a very long time）这个句子，这里的it，是个代词，指时间。如果它的前面是after这个表示时间的词，我们一般不会再用一个时间状语从句，而会简单地说成：after an endless wait和after a （very）long time。因此不能选择it，把它构造成时间状语从句。
如果从名词从句的角度讲，after是个介词，后面在使用名词从句时，必须有连接代词，而it显然不是。
我们在这里选择了what，那么what是什么意思呢？
这里的what，在名词从句里是连接代词，表示“……（的等待/时间）”的意思，也就是“the wait/time that…”,它在从句中充当主语。整个after短语，就相当于 “after the wait （time） that seemed an endless wait （a long time）”
从这段学习和讲解中你会发现一个很有意思的现象，本来是文章中一个很不起眼的词，一旦变成了一个高考的单选问题，要答对并弄明白理由，简直就太“复杂”了！其实，如果你多读、多见某一个语法结构，并且能给它准确“解码”——转换成正确的中文，再加强记忆，一旦这个结构出现在试卷中，你能够通过大量听读形成的记忆，来“下意识”地选出正确答案，那么你学习英语的“语感”就在不知不觉中建立起来了，学习英语也变成了最简单不过的事情了。
“要依靠大量听读学英语，不要只是依赖别人给自己讲懂英语！”这恐怕是我们这篇文章最重要的启示。
顺便再说一句：本文what的使用方法，还有一个“与时俱进”的经典例句——那就是在美国大选结束后，麦凯恩承认失败发表败选感言中的一段话：
To all my campaign comrades, from Rick Davis and Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter, to every last volunteer who fought so hard and valiantly, month after month, in what at times seemed to be the most challenged campaign in modern times, thank you so much.
享受阅读，在阅读中学习、记忆和提高吧！
当然还有一些题目与上面的类似，例如：
1. In some countries, _____are called “public schools” are not owned by the state.
A. that B. which
C. as D. what
2. The other day，my brother drove his car down the street at ___I thought was a dangerous speed．
A．as B．which
C．what D．that
