又比如下面这个题，我不理解对选项D的说明： “用非限定性定语从句修饰，改变原句含义”, 怎么理解？ 178. (GWD-1-Q21) That twenty-one ceramic dog figurines were discovered during the excavating of a 1,000-year-old Hohokam village in Tempe, Arizona, has nearly doubled the number of these artifacts known to exist. A. That twenty-one ceramic dog figurines were discovered during the excavating B. Twenty-one ceramic dog figurines discovered at the excavation C. Discovering twenty-one ceramic dog figurines at the excavating D. Ceramic dog figurines, twenty-one of which were discovered during excavating (E) E. The discovery of twenty-one ceramic dog figurines during the excavation -- by 会员 mongmong (2011/6/2 21:18:06)
关于限制性和非限制性的区别在07的笔记说明比较详细，08里只是提高大概。
我从mongmong从07里贴过来：
限定性定语从句、非限定性定语从句
这两种定语从句在其功能和形式方面都有明显的区别：
限定性定语从句与主句的关系很紧凑，对其先行词起限定、修饰的作用。如果将其去掉，会影响句子意思的完整性；有时甚至于引起费解、误解。例如：
Rainforests are being cleared for valuable timber and other resources to speed up the economic growth of the nationsin which they are located . 为了加速他们各自所在国家的经济发展，热带雨林作为有价值的原木和其他资源正为人们所砍伐。
非限定性定语从句在形式上就与主句很松散，它与主句之间有一个逗点"，"隔开；它对其先行词没有限定、修饰的作用，只起补充、说明的作用。有时也用它来对全句进行补充、说明。即使将其去掉，也不会影响句子意思。由于上述原因，非限定性定语从句在表达意思方面也有别于限定性定语从句。另外，非限定性定语从句在中文译文里，我们往往将其作为一个分句处理，而不把它作定语翻译。例如：
Earlier , the Babylonians had attempted to map the world , but they presented it in the form of a flattened disc rather than a sphere , which was the form adopted by Ptolemy . （此句中，非限定性定语从句是对先行词a sphere进行补充、说明。）更早之前，巴比伦人曾试图绘制世界地图，但是他们把它绘制成平盘状而不是托勒密所采用的球体状。

或者：
1 限定性定语从句表示的是局部概念: 例: I am checking up the models who are in black T-shirt. 表明有很多模特,而我打量的是那些穿黑色圆领衫的模特.限定性定语从句区分了我打量的模特和其他的模特.
2 非限定定语从句表示的是整体的概念: 例: I am checking up the models, who are in black T-shirt. 表明这里有一群模特,这些模特共同的特点是她们都穿黑色圆领衫. |
