17. Sun Yao,our monitor and I remembered a programme that a well-known film director had made about the forest.She had shown pictures of a plant that had recently been discovered.我们的班长孙尧和我记起了一位著名的导演所制作的一个有关森林的节目。她给我们看了一种新近发现的植物的图片。
▲这两个句子都是含有定语从句的复合句,在第一个句子中,关系代词that引导的定语从句修饰programme,that在从句中作谓语had made的宾语,故可以省去,在第二句中 that 引导的定语从句修饰plant ,that在从句中作主语,故不能省去。

Last night’s programme was a great success.昨晚的节目非常成功。
Today’s programme includes a tour of the Statue of Liberty.今晚的活动计划包括游览自由女神像。

He found/discovered that the whole story was a lie.他发现整个故事是个谎言。
He found/discovered that she was excited.
We’ve found/discovered oil under the North Sea.
