where定语从句与状语从句的区别

2. He's got him self into a dangerous situation ____ he is likely to lose control over the plane.(2001年上海)

8. I can still rem em ber the sitting-room ____ my m other and I used to sit in the evening.(MET86)

不难看出,上述试题都考查where引导的定语从句与状语从句。在第2, 6, 8题中, where引导的是定语从句,答案分别是A, B和D。在第1, 3, 4, 5, 7题中, where引导的是地点状语从句,答案分别是C, A, B, B和D。那么,如何区别where引导的定语从句与状语从句呢?笔者认为,可从以下几个方面加以区别。
一、where引导定语从句时, where是关系副词,在从句中作地点状语,其前面有表示地点的先行词, where引导的从句修饰先行词。例如:
The bookshop where I bought this book is not far from here.我买这本书的那个书店离这里不远。
This is the house where I lived two years ago.这就是我两年前住的那个房子。 We will start at the point where we left off.我们将从上次停下来的地方开始。
二、where引导状语从句时, where是从属连词, where引导的`从句修饰主句的谓语动词, where前面没有表示地点的先行词。例如:
Wuhan lies where the Changjiang River and the Han Jiang River meet.武汉位于长江和汉江汇合处。
Make a mark where you have any doubts or questions.在有疑问的地方做一个记号。 I found my books where I had left them.我在我原来放书的地方找到了我的书。 有时, where引导的地点状语从句兼有抽象条件含义,可放在主句的前面,而where引导的定语从句则不能。例如:
Where there is a will, there is a way.[谚语]有志者事竟成。
Where there is water, there is life.有水的地方就有生命。
三、在有些情况下, 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。
