    • Whom is not used very often in spoken English. Who is usually used as the object pronoun, especially in questions. 在口语中，whom 不常用，通常用 who 作宾格代词，尤其在疑问句中：◆Who did you invite to the party? 你邀请了哪些人来参加聚会？
    • The use of whom as the pronoun after prepositions is very formal. * whom 作代词置于介词后的用法非常正式：◆To whom should I address the letter? 这封信我该写给谁呢？◆He asked me with whom I had discussed it. 他问我和谁讨论过此事。 In spoken English it is much more natural to use who and put the preposition at the end of the sentence. 在口语中，疑问词用 who，将介词置于句末更自然：◆Who should I address the letter to? 这封信我该写给谁呢？◆He asked me who I had discussed it with. 他问我和谁讨论过此事。
    • In defining relative clauses the object pronoun whom is not often used. You can either use who or that, or leave out the pronoun completely. 在限定性关系从句中，宾格代词 whom 不常用，可用 who 或 that 或干脆省去代词：◆The family (who/that/whom) I met at the airport were very kind. 我在机场遇见的这家人非常友好。
    • In non-defining relative clauses who or, more formally, whom (but not that) is used and the pronoun cannot be left out. 在非限定性关系从句中，要用 who 或更正式的 whom（但不能用 that），而且此代词不能省略：◆Our doctor, who/whom we all liked very much, retired last week. 我们的医生上周退休了，我们都很爱戴他。 This pattern is not used very much in spoken English. 此句型在英语口语中不很常用。
