一、where引导状语从句

要点:where及所引导从句代表一个地方,整体作主句的状语;翻译成:某某事发生的地方;where作从句的状语。

1、We must camp where we can get water.我们必须在能找到水的地方露营。

2、Go back where you came from.(where引导地点状语从句)你从何处来到何处去。

3、you can go where you want to go .你可以去你想去的地方。

4、With a car,a person can go where he pleases and when he pleases.有了汽车,人可以想去哪儿就去哪儿,想什么时候去就什么时候去。

二、where引导名词性从句

要点:where及所引导的从句是一个完整的特殊疑问句,只是语序有差别;翻译成:某某事发生在哪里;where本身在从句中充当疑问词。

这姑娘从哪里来是个谜。 Where the girl comes from is a mystery.(主语从句)

三、where引导定语从句

要点:

where及引导的从句紧跟在先行词后面;

where=介词+which(表地点),在从句中作状语;

翻译成:某某事发生的地方;

This is the house where I once lived.

Go back to the village where you came.回到你来的那个村子里去。

仔细分析以上三种从句的特点可以看出,where引导的状语从句和定语从句有两个相同点:where都作从句的状语,都翻译成:某某事发生的地方。所以,这两种从句可以相互转化。

where引导的定语从句可转换为where引导的地点状语从句。例如:

A tall building was put up at the place where there used to be a desert. (=A tall building was put up where there used to be a desert. )在以前曾是沙漠的地方盖起了一幢高楼。

Bam boo grows best in places where it is warm and where it rains often. (=Bamboo grows best where it is warm and where it rains often. )温暖而多雨的地方最适合于竹子生长。
