关系副词
where主要用于修饰表示地点的名词,同时它在定语从句中用作时间状语。如:
This is the
village where he was born. 这就是他出生的村子。
That's the
hotel where we were
staying last
summer. 这就是我们去年夏天住的旅馆。
Barbary was
working in Aubury, where she went
daily in a bus. 巴巴拉在奥伯里工作,每天得坐公共汽车去上班。
与前面where的情况一样,注意不要一见到先行词为地点名词,就以为一定要用关系副词where来引导定语从句,同时还要看它在定语从句中充当什么成分——如果在定语从句中用作地点状语,就用where;如果在定语从句中不是用作时间状语,而是用作主语或宾语,那就不能用where,而要用that、
which等。如:
He
works in a
factory that [which]
makes TV sets. 他在一家电视机厂工作。
关系代词that、which在定语从句中用作主语。
另外注意,where有时还可用于抽象名词后引导定语从句。如:
We have
reached a
point where a
change is
needed. 我们到了必须改一改的地步。
There are
cases where the word “
mighty” is used as an
adverb. 在一些情况下,mighty一词可用作副词。
He got into a
situation where it is hard to
decide what is
right and
wrong. 他陷入一种难以分辨是非的局面。
I don't want a job where I'm
chained to a desk all day. 我不想找一份整天坐办公桌前的工作。
