Grammar—关系副词引导的定语从句和后缀
(一)关系副词引导的定语从句
品读例句,感知黑体部分的共性
1.There are many good websites where you can check out the latest in the science world.
2.After living in Australia for many years,Louise finally returned to the country where she was born.
3.His interest started a few years ago,when he was in college and studying wildlife science.
4.They didn't tell the reason why they put off the performance.
【思考发现】
这些句子均为定语从句,关系词均为关系副词。
1.where 引导的定语从句
where表示地点,在定语从句中作地点状语,相当于“介词in/at/on ...+which”。
Opposite is St.Paul's Church, where you can hear some lovely music.
=Opposite is St.Paul's Church, in which you can hear some lovely music.
对面是圣保罗大教堂,你们在那里能听到一些动听的音乐。
【名师指津】 当先行词为situation, case, stage, point, activity, atmosphere等抽象名词,且引导词在定语从句中作状语,表示事情发生的情况、阶段等时,常用关系副词where引导。
They have reached the point where they have to separate with each other.
他们已经到了必须分手的地步。
2.when 引导的定语从句
when表示时间,在定语从句中作时间状语,相当于“介词in/at/on/during ...+which”结构。
I am looking forward to the day when my daughter can read this book and know my feelings for her.
我正期盼那一天的到来,那时我女儿可以读这本书,并且了解我对她的感情。
3.why引导的定语从句
why表示原因,在定语从句中作原因状语,相当于“介词for+which”结构。
Do you know the reason why/for which he didn't attend the meeting?
你知道他没参加会议的原因吗?
【名师指津】 非限制性定语从句中,常用for which 表示原因而不用why。
I had told them the reason, for which I didn't attend the meeting.
我把我没有去开会的理由告诉了他们。
