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。
要点一 关系副词引导的定语从句
1.关系副词when引导定语从句时, 先行词应是表时间的名词, 关系词在从句中作时间状语。
Winter is the time of year when(=in which)the day is short while the night is long.
冬天是一年中昼短夜长的时候。
I have forgotten the exact date when(=on which)this country became independent.
我忘记这个国家独立的确切日期了。
2.关系副词where引导定语从句时, 先行词应是表地点的名词, 关系词在从句中作地点状语。
This is the factory where(=in which)the explosion happened.
这就是发生爆炸的那家工厂。
[名师点津]
where还可用在表示抽象意义的地点名词后, 如situation、stage、point、case、position、condition等。
The accident has reached to the point where both their parents are to be called in.
事情发展到如此地步, 不得不请双方家长来一趟了。
He gets into a situation where it is hard to tell what is right or wrong.
他陷入一种难以判断对错的境地。
[辨析比较]
where引导的定语从句和状语从句
(1)where引导定语从句时, 为关系副词, 在定语从句中作地点状语, 其前有一个表示地点的先行词。此时where可以换成“介词+which”结构。where引导的定语从句只能位于主句之后或句中, 不能位于句首。
Is there a shop around where(=in which)we can buy some fruit?
附近有没有一个商店可以让我们在里面买些水果?
(2)where引导状语从句时, 为从属连词。where引导的地点状语从句修饰主句中的谓语动词, where前面没有表示地点的名词。此时, where不能换成“介词+which”结构。where引导的地点状语从句可位于主句之前, 也可位于主句之后。
Where there is a will there is a way.
[谚]有志者, 事竟成。
3.关系副词why引导定语从句时, 先行词常常为reason, 关系词在从句中作原因状语。
Unsuccessful people can always find reasons why(=for which)they’re not doing well.
不成功的人总能找到自己表现不好的理由。
[对点训练1]
用适当的关系副词填空
①He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education.
②Can you tell me the company where she works?
③This is the reason why he left in a hurry.
④Nowadays people are more concerned about the environment where they live.
⑤The film brought the hours back to me when I was taken good care of in that faraway village.
要点二 注意事项
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时, 应用关系副词;若先行词在定语从句中作主语或宾语时, 则应用关系代词。
The custom dates from the days when women wore longer skirts.
这种习惯始于妇女穿较长裙子的时期。(when在从句中作状语)

音乐使他们想起青年时代一起度过的快乐日子。(which/that作spent 的宾语)

我们想来这家店的原因是我们真的很想要这种手机。(why在从句中作状语)
This is the reason that/which he explained to me for his not attending the meeting.
这就是他向我解释的不参加会议的原因。(定语从句中explained缺少宾语, 所以用that/which引导从句, 不用why)
