限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句最大的区别
1）非限制性定语从句是对主句或主句中所出现的某个名词的补充说明和解释，去掉对主句影响不大
2）限制性定语从句是主句当中不可缺少的一部分
1. who引导的非限制性定语从句主要指人做主语
Mr Smith was a famous person in American history.
Mr Smith，who died on July 17th at 64，was a famous person in American history.

得知堵车的司机走了别的路，不知道堵车事件的司机仍然走这条路。
2. 指代事物在非限制性定语从句当中只能使用which
He lent me a thousand dollars，which was exactly the sum I needed.
3. 指代时间when，地点where
The panda，which was brought from China，was used as a symbol of friendship.
3. Now that a tunnel has been built through the mountains，the Pass is less dangerous，but each year，the dogs are still sent out into the snow whenever a traveller is in difficulty. 如今由于山里开挖了隧道，翻越山口已不那么危险了。但每年还要派狗到雪山地里去帮助那些遇到困难的旅游者。
Despite the new tunnel，there are still a few people who rashly attempt to cross the Pass on foot. 尽管修通了隧道，但仍有一些人想冒险徒步跨越圣伯纳德山口。
(1) now that：既然;由于
用做时间连接词时，后面通常跟完成式

用做原因连接词时，后面时态不限。
Now that you won't help me，I must do the job myself.
Now (that) you are grown up，you should not rely on your parents.

(3) despite介词——in spite of(of是介词)

5. During the summer months，the monastery is very busy，for it is visited by thousands of people who cross the Pass in cars. 夏天的几个月里，修道院十分忙碌，因为有成千上万的人驾车通过山口。
for it is visited by thousands of people who cross the Pass in cars.for引导并列句表示原因。又如:lesson2、lesson6课文中的句子
(lesson2 )The city at one time must have been prosperous，for it enjoyed a high level of civilization.这座古城肯定一度很繁荣，因为它曾享有高度的文明。for引导并列句表示原因
(lesson6)The raid was all over in three minutes，for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed.这场抢劫只持续了3分钟，因为窃贼争先恐后地爬上轿车，以惊人的速度开跑了。for引导并列句表示原因
语法分析
for it enjoyed a high level of civilization.for引导并列句，不是原因状语从句，尽管习惯上人们都称for引导的这样的句子为原因状语从句，仅仅是因为我们常把它翻译为“因为……”。其实，这时的for从句只是对主句进行附加说明。如果一定要归类为原因状语从句，也要对比一下：because引导原因状语从句，重点突出原因，而for引导的原因状语从句，突出了主句。再如：e.g. I do it because I like it. 我做这件事因为我喜欢。The day broke，for the bird. 天亮了，因为鸟开始叫了。
我们还是把for看作是并列连词，引导的是并列句，引出的原因是比较间接，只提供一些辅助性的补充说明，似乎是事后想做的补充解释，或附加的理由，并不是说明主句行为发生的直接原因。通俗点讲，主句发生的动作不是因为for所说明的原因，有时甚至可以“倒因为果”。for引导的并列句只能放于主句之后并且必须用逗号将其与主句隔开。
三、课文及翻译参考
Lesson 8 A famous monastery
(重点词汇句型黑体显示)
The Great St Bernard Pass connects Switzerland to Italy. At 2470 metres，it is the highest mountain pass in Europe. The famous monastery of St Bernard，which was founded in the eleventh century，lies about a mile away. For hundreds of years，St Bernard dogs have saved the lives of travellers crossing the dangerous Pass. These friendly dogs，which were first brought from Asia，were used as watch-dogs even in Roman times. Now that a tunnel has been built through the mountains，the Pass is less dangerous，but each year，the dogs are still sent out into the snow whenever a traveller is in difficulty. Despite the new tunnel，there are still a few people who rashly attempt to cross the Pass on foot.
During the summer months，the monastery is very busy，for it is visited by thousands of people who cross the Pass in cars. As there are so many people about，the dogs have to be kept in a special enclosure. In winter，however，life at the monastery is quite different. The temperature drops to -30 and very few people attempt to cross the Pass. The monks Prefer winter to summer for they have more privacy. The dogs have greater freedom，too，for they are allowed to wander outside their enclosure. The only regular visitors to the monastery in winter are parties of skiers who go there at Christmas and Easter. These young people，who love the peace of the mountains，always receive a warm.
Welcome at St Bernard's monastery.
A famous monastery 著名的修道院
圣伯纳德大山口连接着瑞士与意大利，海拔2，473O米，是欧洲最高的山口。11世纪建造的著名的圣伯纳德修道院位于离山口1英里远的地方。几百年来，圣伯纳德修道院驯养狗拯救了许多翻越这道山口的旅游者的生命。那些最先从亚洲引进的狗，待人友好，早在罗马时代就给人当看门狗了。如今由于山里开挖了隧道，翻越山口已不那么危险了。但每年还要派狗到雪山地里去帮助那些遇到困难的旅游者，尽管修通了隧道，但仍有一些人想冒险徒步跨越圣伯纳德山口。
夏天的几个月里，修道院十分忙碌，因为有成千上万的人驾车通过山口，顺道来修道院参观。由于来人太多，狗被关在专门的围栏里。然而到了冬天，修道院里的生活则是另一番景象。气温下降到零下30度，试图跨越山口的人寥寥无几。修道士们喜欢冬天，而不太喜欢夏天。因为在冬天，他们可以更多地过无人打扰的生活。狗也比较自由，被放出围栏，四处遛达。冬天常来修道院参观的只有一批批滑雪者。他们在圣诞节或复活节到那儿去。这些热爱高山清静环境的年轻人每年都受到圣伯纳德道院的热烈欢迎。
