我举另外一些例子。
1. The factory was built in a secret place, around which were high mountains.
【分析】around which were high mountains 是一个由“介词+which”引出的非限制性定语从句,而在该从句中,主语是 high mountains,around which 是表语。又如:Yesterday we visited a modern hospital, around which are some fruit shops.
2. A man with a bleeding hand hurried in and asked, “Is there a hospital around where I can get some medicine for my wounded hand?”
【分析】句中的 around 不是介词,而是副词,意为“在附近”;其后的 where 引导定语从句用以修饰其前的地点名词 hospital,句意为:附近有没有一家医院,我可以去治我的手伤?
