18.2 关系副词引导的定语从句 |
关系副词可代替的先行词是时间、地点或理由的名词,在从句中作状语。 1)when,where,why 关系副词when,where,why的含义相当于"介词+which"结构,因此常常和"介词+which"结构交替使用,例如: There are occasions when(on which)one must yield.任何人都有不得不屈服的时候。 Beijing is the place where(in which)I was born.北京是我的出生地。 Is this the reason why(for which)he refused our offer?这就是他拒绝我们帮助他的理由吗? 2)that代替关系副词 that可以用于表示时间、地点、方式、理由的名词后取代when,where,why和"介词+which"引导的定语从句,在口语中that常被省略,例如: His father died the year(that/when/in which)he was born.他父亲在他出生那年逝世了。 He is unlikely to find the place(that/where/in which)he lived forty years ago.他不大可能找到他四十年前居住过的地方。 |
