課文中who代指的是one of those rare people,所以動(dòng)詞用believes。

語(yǔ)法 Grammar in use
1.現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)

2.關(guān)系從句(Relative clauses)及關(guān)系代詞(Relative pronouns)
在第1冊(cè)第121~124課中,我們已接觸到關(guān)系從句。關(guān)系從句又可稱(chēng)為定語(yǔ)從句或形容詞從句,它像形容詞一樣可以形容人、物及事件。關(guān)系從句可分為 限定性(defining)關(guān)系從句(不帶逗號(hào))和非限定性(non-defining)關(guān)系從句(帶逗號(hào))。我們?cè)谶@里只討論限定性關(guān)系從句。
可以用來(lái)表示人的關(guān)系代詞有who,whom和that以及所有格形式whose,口語(yǔ)中whom經(jīng)常由who代替。用來(lái)表示事物和動(dòng)物的關(guān)系代詞有 which和that。不論這些關(guān)系代詞指的是單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù),其形式都保持不變。關(guān)系代詞在關(guān)系從句中作賓語(yǔ)時(shí)往往可以省略,作主語(yǔ)時(shí)則不可以:
This is the photo (that/which) I took.
這是我拍的照片。(the photo為took的賓語(yǔ),that/which代替the photo,可省略)
The man (who/whom) I served was wearing a hat.
我接待的那個(gè)人戴著一頂帽子。(who/whom為served的賓語(yǔ),可省略)
The lady who is standing behind the counter served me.
接待我的是站在柜臺(tái)后面的那位女士。(who為關(guān)系從句的主語(yǔ),不可省)
I bought the books which are on the counter.
我買(mǎi)的就是柜臺(tái)上的那些書(shū)。(which為關(guān)系從句的主語(yǔ),不可?。?br /> The millionaire whose son ran away from home a week ago is not a kind father.
有個(gè)兒子一周前從家里逃走的那位百萬(wàn)富翁不是個(gè)慈父。
?。╳hose在關(guān)系從句中作定語(yǔ),不可省)
The girls who are standing behind the counter served us.
接待我們的是站在柜臺(tái)后面的那幾位姑娘。(who代替復(fù)數(shù)名詞the girls,形式不變)
