fact后面可用which引导从句吗？——当然可以

fact的常见搭配如

despite the fact that…尽管…的事实

due to the fact that…由于…的事实

apart from the fact that…除开…事实外

given the fact that…考虑到…的事实

in view of the fact that…考虑到…的事实

the fact is/remains that…事实是/依然是……等，

the fact后接的通常是同位语从句，用来解释说明the fact的具体含义，从而使得读者或听者对所陈述的信息更为明确。（当然the fact后的that也可以引导定语从句）

但也可看到fact（见到的是a fact which的组合）后接which的情况。

《COBUILD英汉双解词典》第672页fact词条3

If you say the fact that,a fact which, this fact, etc., you are referring to a situation or state of affairs that you have just mentioned or are about to mention, and suggesting that it is true.

使用the fact that或a fact which的句法结构或this fact等时，指刚刚提到过后即将提到的一个真实情况。

There wasn’t a great deal of warmth owing to the fact that Smithy had left the door open.

由于史密赛没有关上门，屋子里不很暖和。

They had waited in vain, a fact whichwas repeatedly explained to them.

他们白白等了许久，就这一事实再三向他们作了解释。

——此句中的a fact which后接的是which所引导的定语从句，当然也可以使用that来引导。

《英语搭配大辞典》（王文昌主编）第643页fact词条

He unearthed several facts whichthrew light on…

他发现了一些能说明…的事实。

《新概念英语》第三册第51课
