　　They paid fifty percent of what they were able to earn to the state. 他們能掙來的東西，百分之五十交給了國家。

　　2.用作插入語，指代后面的成分。這和非限定性定語從句正好相反，非限定性定語從句指代的是前面的成分。如：

　　Then I discovered, what was news to me, that his wife was Mary’s niece. 后來我發(fā)現(xiàn)，他妻子原來是Mary的侄女，這對我是個新聞。

　　Do what she would, she could not invent a reason for not going. 不管她會做什么，她都編不出不去的理由。狀語從句把實義動詞放在句首，句子倒裝。=No matter what she would do, …
