一、今天我们学习的关系副词有三个:when,where,why。 1.why:用于修饰表示原因的名词(eg. the reason) We don't know the reason why he didn't show up. - 译文大意:我不知道这个原因,他没有来的原因。
- 先行词是“the reason”表原因,关系副词“why”。定语从句“he did not show up”缺一个介词短语做原因状语。完整的从句应该是“he did not show up for 某某原因”
2.when:修饰表示时间的名词(eg. next week) We'll put off the picnic until next week, when the weather may be better. - 译文大意:我们将要推迟野餐到下周,天气好一点的下周。
- 先行词是“next week”表时间,关系副词“when”。定语从句“the weather may be better”修饰的是next week,天气可能会更好一点的那一周。
3.where:修饰表示地点的名词(eg. the place) We don't know the place he lives. 先行词是“the place”表地点,关系副词“wher”。定语从句“he lives”,缺一个介词短语做地点状语。完整的定语从句应该是“he lives in 某某地方” 二、练习(答案在文末) - He works in a factory _______ TV sets are made.
- We'll put off the meeting until next month,________ the boss may be free.
- She didn't tell me the reason ________ she refused the offer.
