When awhat clause is itself the subject of a sentence, it may be construed as singular or plural,but the conditions governing this choice are somewhat more complicated.In general, awhat clause will be taken as a plural when the clause contains an explicit indication of its own plurality. There are two principal cases.First, the clause is plural ifwhat is the subject of the clause and the verb of the clause is itself plural: What seem to be two dead trees are blocking the road. What most surprise me are the inflammatory remarks at the end of his article. If the verb in thewhat clause does not anticipate the plural sense of the predicate in this way, a singular verb is generally used in the main clause as well,though the plural is sometimes found:What truly commands respect is (sometimes are ) a large navy and a resolute foreign policy. Second, thewhat clause is treated as plural when its predicate contains a plural noun phrase that unambiguously establishes the plurality of the clause as a whole, as inWhat traditional grammarians called "predicates" are called "verb phrases" by modern linguists. What the Romans established as military outposts were later to become important trading centers. In the absence of explicit plural marking of either of these types in a subjectwhat clause, the clause is usually treated as singular for the purposes of agreement, regardless of the sense:What she held in her lap was four kittens. What the apparent diamonds turned out to be was paste. In some cases, however, a clause withwhat as the subject may be treated as singular or plural, depending on a subtle distinction of sense. InWhat excite him most are money and power, the implication is that money and power are distinct elements; inWhat excites him most is money and power, the implication is that money and power are taken as constituting a single entity.See Usage Note at which 当what 作为从句中的主语时， 它既可被当作单数也可以为复数，这取决于词义。当被看作是that which 或 the thing which 时它就是单数， 如在I see what seems to be a dead tree（我看到个象棵死树的物体）” 这句话中； 当它被用作those which 或 the things which 的对应词时它是复数， 如在He sometimes makes what seem to be gestures of aloofness（他有时做一些似乎很超然的手势） 中。 当what 从句本身是句子的主语时， 它可被当作单数或复数，但决定这种选择的条件略为复杂些。总体上说，what 从句的含有对其数性明确指示时，它就可以将当作复数。 这有两种最主要的情况：首先，如果what 是从句的主语而该从句的谓语动词本身是复数，从句就是复数： What seem to be two dead trees are blocking the road.（象两棵死树的物体挡着路）； What mostsurprise me are the inflammatory remarks at the end of his article.（最令我吃惊的是他文章结尾处的煽动性言词） 。 如果what 从句的谓语动词并不预示谓语是复数， 主句中通常也用单数动词，尽管有时也可以发现有复数：What truly commands respect is（有时 are ) a large navy and a resolute foreign policy（真正博得尊敬的是强大的海军和坚定的外交政策） ； 其次what 从句在其谓语含有复数名词短语，并且其明显可建立整个从句的复数性时是被当作复数的， 如在What traditional grammarians called "predicates" are called "verb phrases" by modern linguists.（那些传统语法家所称为“谓语”的则被现代语言学家称作“动词短语”） What the Romans established as military outpostswere later to become important trading centers.（那些罗马人设为军事前哨基地的地方后来成为了重要的贸易中心）。 当what 从句主语缺乏这两类明确表示复数性的标记时， 从句通常为了一致性而不顾及词义地被当作单数：What she held in her lap was four kittens.（她抱在膝盖上的是四只小猫）。 What the apparent diamonds turned out to bewas paste.（那些看上去象真的钻石结果却是人造宝石） 。 然而，在一些情况下，以what 作主语的从句可被当单数或复数，取决于语义上微妙的差异。 在What excite him most are money and power（最让他兴奋的是金钱和权力）， 这句话中暗含着金钱和权力是不同的成分； 在What excites him most is money and power（最让他兴奋的是金钱和权力）， 这句话中暗含着金钱和权力是作为构成一个单一整体的成分 参见 which〔dance〕To move rhythmically usually to music, using prescribed or improvised steps and gestures.跳舞：通常是和着音乐有节奏地移动，用规定的或即兴表演的步伐和手势〔gesture〕A motion of the limbs or body made to express or help express thought or to emphasize speech.手势，姿势：身体或四肢的动作，以表达或帮助表达想法或强调所说的话〔mudra〕A series of symbolic body postures and hand movements used in East Indian classical dancing.手印：东印度古典舞中一系列有象征意义的手势或肢体语言〔gesticulate〕To make gestures especially while speaking, as for emphasis.以动作表达：为了强调作手势，尤指讲话时〔mime〕To act out with gestures and body movement.模拟：通过手势和身体的动作来表达〔masquerade〕An involved scheme; a charade.复杂方案；看手势猜字迷游戏〔kinesics〕The study of nonlinguistic bodily movements, such as gestures and facial expressions, as a systematic mode of communication.身势学：对非语言的身体运动，如手势和面容表情，作为一种系统性的传达信息方式的研究〔delineate〕To depict in words or gestures; describe.See Synonyms at represent 描写：用词或手势描述；描写 参见 represent〔beck〕A gesture of beckoning or summons.抬手：招呼或召唤的手势〔Barthes〕French critic who applied semiology, the study of signs and symbols, to literary and social criticism.巴尔泰斯，罗兰：(1915-1980) 法国批评家，她将手势和记号的符号学用于文学和社会批评中〔flourish〕An ostentatious act or gesture:夸张的行为或手势：〔motion〕A meaningful or expressive change in the position of the body or a part of the body; a gesture.姿势的变化：身体或身体某部位有意义的、有表达力的位置改变；手势〔signal〕An indicator, such as a gesture or colored light, that serves as a means of communication.See Synonyms at gesture 信号：一种用作通讯交流手段的指示，比如一种手势或有色的光 参见 gesture〔sign〕gave the go-ahead sign.给了一个放行手势〔deaf〕Some writers have lately introduced a distinction between the lowercase noundeaf, which is used to refer simply to people with extensive hearing disorders, and the capitalized noun Deaf, which refers to the culture and community that has grown up around the use of American Sign Language as a primary means of communication.最近，一些作家提出小写的名词deaf 和大写的名词 Deaf 之间的一个不同点，前者仅用于指全面听力障碍的人；而后者指一种文化和一个团体， 他们通过把美国手势语言作为首要使用的交流方式而逐渐形成的〔fingerspelling〕Communication by means of a manual alphabet.手语交谈：通过手势字母进行的交流〔give〕gave the sign to begin.做一个开始的手势〔reply〕A response by action or gesture.答复：作动作或手势的回复〔wince〕A shrinking or startled movement or gesture.退缩，惊起：退缩或惊起的动作或手势〔caress〕A gentle touch or gesture of fondness, tenderness, or love.爱抚，轻拍：表示喜爱，温柔或爱慕的轻柔接触或手势〔mimic〕To copy or imitate closely, especially in speech, expression, and gesture; ape.模仿，仿效：非常逼真的模拟或模仿，尤指谈吐、表情和手势；仿效〔deaf〕Deaf The community of deaf people who use American Sign Language as a primary means of communication.
