关系词
3-3:关系副词where的用法
where引导的形容词从句只用来修饰表地点的名词。我们在中学时已学到,表大地点(如城市,国家,区域)时,介词要用in;表小地点(如车站,商店,某特定的地点)时,介词要用at;表内部(在……之内)时,介词要用in;表外在(在……上面)时,介词要用on。
因此,关系副词where=in which, on which, at which。
例:this is the city in which i met mary.
=this is the city where i met mary.
i met him at the station,at which there were many passengers.
=i met him at the station,where there were many passengers.
(我在车站遇见他,那里有许多旅客。)
l bought a cabinet in which i could store books.
=l bought a cabinet where i could store books.
(我买了一个柜子,我可以把书放在里面。)
do you see the desk on which there is a book?
=do you see the desk where there is a book?
(你看见那张上面有本书的桌子了吗?)
