當(dāng)一個(gè)子句充當(dāng)句子的表語(yǔ)時(shí)，這個(gè)子句就叫做表語(yǔ)從句。如：

My idea is that he can teach children English in this school. 我的想法是他能夠在這所學(xué)校教孩子們英語(yǔ)。

My hope is that he will keep it a secret for ever. 我的希望是它將永遠(yuǎn)保守秘密。

表語(yǔ)從句中應(yīng)注意：

1. 連接詞that一般不能省略，但當(dāng)主句中含動(dòng)詞do的某種形式時(shí)，that可以省略。如：

What I want to do is (that) I can go up to him and thank him. 我想做的事是走到身邊去感謝他。

2. 當(dāng)句子的主語(yǔ)是：advice, demand, decision, desire, idea, insistence, instruction, order, plan, proposal, recommendation, request, requirement, suggestion, wish等名詞時(shí)，表語(yǔ)從句須用虛擬語(yǔ)氣，即：should +do。如：

My advice is that you should go to apologize to him. 我的建議是你應(yīng)該去向他道歉。
