定語從句from which 與 from where

1、Soon after getting off his horse, the captain appeared at the second storey windows, fromwhere he could see nothing but trees.下馬不久,上尉就出現在二樓的窗口了。他從那裏除了樹木什麼也沒看到。(引導定語從句)

劃線部分相當於…, and from at the windows…不可變爲from which…,直接用where不如用from where更具體。

2、She climbed up to the top of the hill,from where she could have a good view of the whole town.她登上山頂,從那裏她可以一覽全城風光。(引導定語從句)

劃線部分相當於…, and from on the top of the hill或from on the top of which…,不可變爲from which,也可直接用where引導,但語義較爲含糊,不如用from where更加生動、形象、具體。

3、We went up to the roof ,from where we had a good view of the procession.我們爬到屋頂,在那兒我們可以一覽整個行進隊伍。(引導定語從句)

劃線部分可理解爲and from on the top of the roof或from on the top of which,用from which是不對的,直接用where仍顯不具體,不形象。

4、China is the birth place of kites, from where kiteflying spread to Japan,Korea,Thailand and India.中國是風箏的故鄉,在那裏風箏傳到日本、朝鮮、泰國和印度。

這裏from正與下文的spread to構成一個整體,可理解爲from near/around this place,如若把from where換爲where顯然是講不通的`,改成from which,能夠講得通,但不太符合英語習慣。

5、The car stopped suddenly only a few inches from where I stood.那輛小汽車就在我站的地方僅幾英寸處突然停下了。(引導狀語從句)這裏的劃線部分中where引導的是賓語從句,與from一起作地點狀語從句。

例句1:look over there!some people are standing under the big tree,___ you can enjoy the whole view. h which C whereD from where

分析:where代表under the tree這個地方,如果用which就只能代表the big tree,這句話的意思不是Enjoy the whole view from the big tree.而是from under the big tree.介詞後接介詞短語的例子還是常見的.實際上這個句子完整的應該是You can enjoy the whole view from the place under the big tree. the place被省略了。 該句屬於定語從句。

例句2:He stood by the window, ______ he could see what was happening outside.
