当先行词为 job 时,除黎老师说的其后可用 that / which(作主语或宾语)引导外,也可用 where 来引导(where作状语):
▲Teaching is a job ______ you are doing something serious but interesting.
A. where B. which C. when D. that
教书是一个让你在其中做一些紧张而又有趣事情的工作。 首先这里先行词是 job,排除同位语从句 然后判断其为定语从句 从句是 you are doing something seriousbut interesting,从句中 主谓宾齐全,句子不缺成分,因此,这里要填的是一个关系副词,因此不用which而用where。 when是干扰项,带进去不通的。
▲再例:
He is now looking for a job where hecan use the French language that he has mastered. 他正在寻找一份能够用得上他所精通的法语的工作。
如果定语从句所修饰的先行词是 job,那么 job 后面应该用 that / which 来引导定语从句。如果 that / which 在定语从句中作宾语,可以省略。例如:
Teaching English is the job (that / which) I like best.
只有表示时间和地点的词语作先行词时,才能用 when 和 where 来引导定语从句。 注意:
This is a book that I'm interested in. = This is a book which I'm interested in. = This is a book in which I'm interested. (不能:This is a book in that I'm interested. )
