與 when 的用法一樣,注意不要一見到先行詞為地點名詞,就以為一定要用關係代詞where來引導定語從句,同時還要看它在定語從句中充當什麼成分——如果在定語從句中用作地點狀語,就用where;如果在定語從句中不是用作時間狀語,而是用作主語或賓語,那就不能用where,而要用that, which等。如:
He works in a factory that [which] makes TV sets. 他在一家電視機廠工作。
關係代詞that / which在定語從句中用作主語。
另外注意,where有時還可用於抽象名詞後引導定語從句。如:
We have reached a point where a change is needed. 我們到了必須改一改的地步。
There are cases where the word “mighty” is used as an adverb. 在一些情況下,mighty一詞可用作副詞。
He got into a situation where it is hard to decide what is right and wrong. 他陷入一種難以分辨是非的局面。
I don’t want a job where I’m chained to a desk all day. 我不想找一份整天坐辦公桌前的工作。
關係代詞 where 主要用於修飾表示地點的名詞,同時它在定語從句中用作地點狀語。如:
This is the village where he was born. 這就是他出生的村子。
