Which vs that 兩詞用法區別
"I am always confused regarding the usage of the words "which" and "that". When shall I use "which"? And when shall I use "that" instead? Please tell me the general rules. Thank you very much!"

Which 和 that 都可以引出一個定語從句，但是兩個詞有一點本質上的不同，那就是 that 有限定性，而 which 則沒有限定性。具體說就是，that 從句引出的內容是主句里不可缺少的，去掉了句子的意思就不完整了。而 which 引出的從句是對主語所作的附帶說明，去掉了也不影響主句意思的完整性。比如，以下兩句話，你看看怎么譯成漢語？
The cars, which have automatic gears, are new.
The cars that have automatic gears are new.
關于 which 和 that 的用法還有哪些規律可循呢？楊莉為你講解。
