    • from:《蒙娜丽莎的微笑》

    Generally, "that" goes with restrictive clauses 限定性从句- those where the information provided in the clause is necessary to identify the subject: "The bee that belongs to me" (as opposed to all other bees in the world).

    "Which" goes with non-restrictive clauses 非限定性从句 - those which give information but which do not define the subject: "The beer, which was a little warm, was still tasty."

    其他:

    "That" is used in an informal or spoken setting, whereas "which" is preferably used in more formal situations, for example in a formal report or essay.

    "That" and "which" are therefore interchangeable in a restrictive clause, in my book.
