定语从句（二）关系副词The Attributive Clause--- Relative Adverb

一、关系副词

关系副词在句子中作状语。常用的关系副词有where, when, why, that等。

关系副词 when where why 先行词 表示时间的名词 表示地点的名词 reason 在从句中充当的成分 时间状语 地点状语 原因状语

二、关系副词的用法

when的用法 when指时间，在从句中作时间状语，它的先行词通常为time, day, morning, night, week, year等。

①I’ll never forget the day when I first came to Beijing. 我永远也不会忘记来北京的第一天。

②He came at a time when we needed help. 他在我们需要帮助的时候来了。 where的用法

where指地点，在从句中作地点状语。它的先行词通常有place, factory, street, house, room, city, town, country, village, school等。

①This is the house where I was born. 这就是我出生的房子。

②The factory where his father works is in the east of the city. 他父亲工作的那家工厂在城市的东边。 why的用法

why 指原因，在从句中作原因状语，其先行词通常是reason。

①Nobody knows the reason why he is often late for school. 没有人知道他为什么总是迟到。

②Who can tell me the reason why the train was delayed 谁能告诉我火车延误的原因

引导定语从句的关系副词代替与其相应的先行词，并且在从句中分别做时间、地点和原因状语，关系副词在意义上常常相当于一个“介词+which”结构。如： ①I shall never forget the day when we first met. 我永远忘不了我们第一次相遇的那一天。

= I shall never forget the day on which we first met.

②Beijing is the place where I was born. 北京是我出生的地方。 = Beijing is the place in which I was born.

③Is this the reason for which he refused our offer 这就是他拒绝我们的理由吗

= Is this the reason why he refused our offer

由此可见：

三、“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句 介词+which

此结构相当于一个关系副词，介词的选用由which所代替的名词在构成介词短语时与介词的固定搭配所决定。

①We don’t know the time when/at which the meeting will begin. 我们不知道会议开始的时间。（at the time → at which= when） ②This is the house where/in which he was born.

这是他出生的那间房子。（in the house → in which=where） 介词+whom

当关系代词代替的是人而不是物，并在定语从句中作介词宾语时，要用whom。 ①The man with whom you talked just now is our manager. =The man who you talked with just now is our manager. 你刚才与他谈话的那个人就是我们的经理。

②This is the hero of whom we are proud.

= This is the hero who/whom/that we are proud of. 这就是我们引以为荣的英雄。 名词/代词+介词+关系代词

①I bought a dozen eggs, half of which were broken when I got home. 我买了一打鸡蛋，当我到家时，碎了一半。 练一练 A．填入适当的关系词 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
