从situation作先行词谈一类定语从句的引导词
首先请看2001年高考上海卷中的一道单选题:
He’s got himself into a dangerous situation _______ he is likely to lose control over the plane.
A. where
B. which
C. while
D. why
他使自己身临险境——他很可能失去对飞机的控制。
situation 在句中是“情境、情况”的意思。“在此情况下”译为:in this situation. 当situation 作先行
词时后面的定语从句引导词有如下两种情况:
1.引导词在从句中作主语或宾语时, 引导词用that / which ; 作宾语时, 引导词可省略。eg. Worrying never helps in a situation ( that / which ) you can’t change.
对于你无法改变的状况,发愁于事无补。(引导词在句子中作宾语)
2.引导词在从句中作状语时,引导词可用where 或in which / at which 。
与situation用法类似的名词有:condition(s)(条件、状况);spot(地点);place (地方);position (位置);stage(阶段);case(情形、例、病例、案例);point(点、程度、);business(企业、事业);meeting(会议、集会);earth(地球、世界);society (社会);world (世界) ; surroundings(环境)等。
