【摘要】:2013六级考试进入了最后的冲刺阶段,语法的知识点是难点和重点,以下是精品学习网特为考生们整理了2013英语六级语法:from which与from where的区别,希望能给广大考生们在复习中作出一点贡献。预祝考生们通过考试!
关于from which的用法比较好理解,这里主要说说from where的用法。from where主要有以下两个用法:
用法一:用于引导非限制性定语从句,在意义上相当于 and from there(从那儿)。如:
He hid himself in a tree, from where he could see the enemy in the distance. 他躲在一棵树上,从那儿他可以看到远处的敌人。
We went up to the roof, from where we had a good view of the procession. 我们爬上屋顶,从那儿可以很好地观看游行。
用法二:可视为where前省略了the place,即这样用的from where 相当于from the place where,意思是“从……的地方”“离……的地方”。如:
From where I stood I could see everything clearly. 从我站的地方我一切都看得清清楚楚。
The car stopped short only a few inches from where I stood. 汽车在离我站的地方仅几英寸处突然停住。
The school was only a few blocks from where she lived. 学校离她的住所只有几个街区的距离。
若遇到前面是地点名词的先行词,如何判断用where还是from where还是from which?请看下面一个句子:
I have bought that house, _____I can enjoy the beautiful scene of Yangpu Bridge .
我们认为这道题填 where 和 from where 语法上都可以(但不宜填 from which),但两者在意义上稍有区别:
I have bought that house, where I can enjoy the beautiful scene of Yangpu Bridge. 我买下了那栋房子,在房子那可以欣赏到杨浦大桥的美景。
I have bought that house, from where I can enjoy the beautiful scene of Yangpu Bridge. 我买下了那栋房子,从房子那可以欣赏到杨浦大桥的美景。
在许多情况下,用不用 from 不会导致语法错误,但会导致语义变化(通常情况下是,如果没有 from,意思会不够明确和清楚)。比较:
He hid himself under the bed, from where he could hear what they were talking. 他躲在床下面,他可以从床下听到他们谈话。(句中的 from where 可理解为 from under the bed,意思是“从床下面”)
