what在英语中非常活跃,它可以用来引导主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句,但是不可用来引导定语从句。既可以指人,也可以指物。
What is most important in life isn't money.(主语从句)
人生最重要的并非是金钱。
Will you show me what you bought?(宾语从句)
可以把你买的东西给我看一下吗?
Mary is no longer what she was ten years ago.(表语从句)
玛丽已经不是10年前的她了。
—What a mess! You are always so lazy!
—I'm not to blame, Mum. I am ______ you have made me.
A. how
B. what
C. that
D. who
选B。句意:——多么混乱啊!你总是这么懒!——我不应当受到责备,妈妈,都是你让我变成这个样子的。分析句子结构后可知,"______ you have made me"是表语从句,从句中make缺少间接宾语,故用what引导。
