关系副词引导定语从句时,关系副词在定语从句中充当一种句子成分。when作时间状语,如句1;why作原因状语,如句2;where作地点状语,如句3。
关系副词引导的定语从句
当先行词在定语从句中作状语时,通常要用关系副词引导定语从句。常用的关系副词有where, when, why等。
一、关系副词where
where引导的定语从句的先行词往往是表示地点的名词(如place, room, house, spot等),关系副词在从句中作地点状语。
►They are playing in the park where there are some flowers.他们正在有花的公园里玩耍。
►The office where the girl works is not far from here.这个女孩工作的办公室离这儿不远。
[提示]
1.有一些先行词,如point, stage, position, case, condition等,属于抽象的地点名词,当在从句中作状语时,需要接where引导的定语从句。
►You reach a point in your project where you just want to get the thing finished.
从事任何项目你都会进入一种境界:一心想完成它。
►We reached a stage where we had to answer violence with violence.我们陷入了必须用暴力来对抗暴力的境地。
2.where引导定语从句和状语从句的区别:
(1)引导定语从句时,where是关系副词,在从句中作地点状语,其前有表示地点的名词作先行词,从句修饰先行词;
(2)引导状语从句时,where是从属连词,从句修饰主句的谓语动词,where前面没有表示地点的名词。
►He's got into a situation where he is likely to lose control over the plane.(定语从句)他陷入了一种很可能会失去对飞机的控制的境地。
►When you read the book, you'd better make a mark where you have questions.(状语从句)读这本书的时候,你最好在有疑问的地方做一下标记。
二、关系副词when
when引导定语从句时,先行词往往是表示时间的名词(如time, day, week, month, year等),关系副词在从句中作时间状语。
►There used to be a time when I hated going to school.我有一段时间不愿意去上学。
►I'll never forget the day when I left for college with my father.我永远不会忘记我和父亲动身去大学的那天。
三、关系副词why
why引导定语从句时,先行词常为reason,关系副词在从句中作原因状语。
►Do you know the reason why the woman burst into tears?
你知道这个女人突然大哭的原因吗?
[提示]——关系代词和关系副词的选择
表示时间、地点及原因的名词作先行词时,定语从句可用关系代词引导,也可用关系副词引导。若先行词在定语从句中作状语,应用关系副词;若先行词在定语从句中作主语或宾语,则应用关系代词。试比较:
►Do you remember the days when we chatted with each other all night?
你还记得我们整夜聊天的那些日子吗?(when在从句中作状语)
►Do you remember the days that/which we spent together on the farm?
你还记得我们在农场一起度过的那些日子吗?(that/which作spent的宾语)
►I don't know the re
