详解定语从句之关系副词
分类: 英语语法
关系副词:when , where , why 等。在定语从句,关系副词 = 介词 + which 。也就是说,每个关系副词里本身就已经含有了一个介词:when = 在什么时候,where = 在什么地方,why = 为什么原因,等。至于在英文中用哪个具体的介词,就得依具体情况而定了。when 代替表示时间的名词,而这个名词在从句中又与介词构成了短语,在从句中充当状语,例如:People will always remember the time when Hong Kong and Macao returned to our motherland .人们会永远记住香港和澳门回归祖国的那一时刻。 He came at a time when we needed help . 他在我们需要人帮忙的时候来了。 We don't know the exact time when the English Evening will be held . 我们不知道英语晚会举行的确切时间。where 代替表示地点的名词,而这个名词在从句中又与介词构成了短语,在从句中充当状语。例如:The place where we're to have the Speech Contest has not been decided yet.我们举行演讲比赛的地点还未定下来。 He is living in a newly-built house where there used to be a pond . 他现在居住的新房是原先一个池塘的旧址。 That is a beautiful campus where I made a lot dreams .那是一座我曾经在那儿有过许多梦想的美丽的校园。why 代替表示原因的名词,而这个名词在从句中又与介词构成了短语,在从句中充当状语。
例如:He didn't tell her the reason why he was so happy .他没有告诉她为什么他那么高兴的原因。 The reason why she was late is not so acceptable .她迟到的原因不那么令人接受。 They explained the reason to us why they had misunderstood us before .他们向我们解释为什么他们以前误解了我们的原因。
