在定语从句中,当介词置于引导词(关系代词which)前面时,相当于一个关系副词,在从句中作状语。
例句:
1.I will never forget tha day when you came to see me.
可以说:
I will never forget tha day on which you came to see me.
2.This is the house where he lived many years ago.
也可以说:
This is the house in which he lived many years ago.
介词前置是定语从句中的一种特殊形式,没有固定的解释。 一般,引导词前的介词都来自于引导词 引导的从句中的短语,如at which,则句中一定有一个对应的词组,如“be good at"等。举个例子,他数学很好,直译的话应作:He is good at math.改作定语从句的话,应为:It is math which he is good at.但是为了句式平衡,通常将介词调到引导词的前面,就成了:It is math at which he is good. 所以根据词组的不同,对前置介词的解释也是不同的,要具体问题具体分析。
