正文
但如果that作为主语,那么它不可以省略。比如:Jack built the house that sits on the hill. 句子不能写成:
Jack built the house sits on the hill.
同样的道理,霉霉这句话理论上应该写成:I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes
that
(I believe) need a warrior to champion them.
其中that指代the rights and causes,并且that在定语从句中作主语。
实际上,很多外媒在转述的时候都加上了that,比如
the Daily Post
有这样的句子:
According to her, she’s voting for the Vice President because she fights for the rights and causes
that
she (Taylor Swift) believes need a warrior to champion them.
另外一家媒体
Hollywood Unlocked
在转述的时候也有这样的句子:
According to TMZ, the pop singer described Harris as a “steady-handed, gifted leader” who fights for the rights and causes
that
Swift believes need a “warrior to champion them.”
不过由于霉霉是在社交媒体上发帖,所以语法上会更加随意一点。这种定语从句省略that的情况在美国很多名人访谈中也出现过。如果是比较正式的场合(比如政府和商业文件),那么其中的that不能省略。
