If that guy was shipwrecked somewhere, and you rescues him in a goddam boat, he’d want to know who the guy was that was rowing it before he’d even get in
that was rowing it before he’d even get in 定从修饰前面的名次从句。定从不单单只修饰n,还可以修饰名次从句吗
谢谢回答!

that was rowing it before he’d even get in 定从修饰前面的名次从句。定从不单单只修饰n,还可以修饰名次从句吗
参考译文:如果这家伙要是在某个地方遭遇了海难,你就用一只该死的船把他救了,他甚至在跨上船之前都要想知道那划船的家伙是谁。
参考译文:这家伙要是在哪儿沉了船,你就把他救到一只该死的船里,他甚至在跨上救生船之前都要打听是哪个在划这只船。

回答如下:
定语从句“that was rowing it before he'd even get in”修饰的不是名词性从句,而是名词 "the guy”
He'd want to know who the guy was that was rowing it before he'd even get in.
定语从句和先行词之间被句子谓语was隔开,称为“分隔式定语从句”在英语语言种,这种语言现象很常见。
例如
I don't know who the girl is that is in red.
我不知道那个穿红色衣服女孩是谁.
(1) who 连接代词,引导宾语从句
(2)the girl 为先行词,被定语从句修饰的名词
(3)that 关系代词引导定语从句,代替前面先行词,并在从句作主语成分。

He could hear me all right throughthe shower curtains, but he didn't answer me right away. He was the kind of aguy that hates to answer you right away. Finally he came over, through thegoddamn curtains, and stood on the shower ledge and asked who was goingbesides me. He always had to know who was going. I swear, if that guy wasshipwrecked somewhere, and you rescued him in a goddamn boat, he'd wantto know who the guy was that was rowing it before he'd even get in. I told himMal Brossard was going. He said,
