答案

关系代词（relative pronouns)
1.关系代词同时起两个作用.像其它代词一样,它们用作动词的主语或宾语；同时像连词一样,它把从句与主句连接起来.
What's the name of the blonde girl?She just came in.
What's the name of the blonde girl who just came in?
在第二句中who代替she成为came的主语,同时把两个句子连接成一句.
2.最常用的关系代词是who,whom,which及that.who和whom用来指人；which用来指物.
I don't like people who lose their tempers easily.
Mexico City,which has a population of over 10 million,is probably the fastest growing city in the world.
3.whom（作动词或介词的宾语）的情况很特殊,告别在英语会话中,一般省去,或用who,that代替.在以介词结尾的从句中几乎不能用whom.试比较：
I think you should stay faithful to the person you're married to.[/]
(or:...the person who/that you're married to.) (会话体）
Do you think one should stay faithful to to the person to whom one is married?(正式文体）
4.that往往（但不总是）用来代替whom或which,更经常是代替who.
Trumpet's the instrument that really excites me.
She's the only person that understands me.
5.在指时间或地点的名词后面,when和where可用来表达at which或in which的意思.在reason这个词后面,why用来表达for which的意思.
Can you suggest a time when it will be convenient to meet?
I know a wood where you can find wild strawberries.
Is there any reason why you should have a holiday?
6.whose是一个表示所属关系的关系词.
This is Henry,whose wife works for my brother-in-law.
