各位老师好,看到下面这个句子:
One day when entering your home, your mother says your family is having dinner with the family of one of her old friends.
“when”是引导的定语从句修饰“day”?还是one day是后面这个状语从句里的,为了强调提前了?谢谢老师。
1. 从该句的语境看,存在“垂悬分词”错误。when 从句的主语显然是指说话人(I, We),而不是your mother。这样省略,造成主、从句主语不一致。
2. 此句还有一错:One day when entering your home,明显是叙述过去,但句子谓语动词是现在时says 和 is having。
我猜测,这是中国师生的英文作文。
One day when entering your home, your mother says your family is having dinner with the family of one of her old friends.
该句的语境应该是:说话人对着朋友(或同伴、同事)说:有一天我到你家时,你妈妈告诉我,你全家正在跟她(指你妈妈)朋友的一家人吃饭呢。
如果entering 的逻辑主语是your mother,语法是对了,但逻辑讲不通。这个语境存在吗?
有一天你妈妈到你家时(说明你已结婚并跟妈妈分居),她说你的家人(妻子或丈夫一方加子女)正在跟她(指你妈妈)朋友的一家人吃饭呢。
说话人是个“局外人”,别人家的事情,怎么能知道得这么详细呢?真是乱了套!

One day when entering your home, your mother says your family are having dinner with the family of one of her old friends.
=One day , your mother says your family is having dinner with the family of one of her old friends when entering your home,
=One day , your mother says your family is having dinner with the family of one of her old friends when (you are 省略)entering your home,
有一天,当你进入你的家时,你的妈妈说你的家人正在和她的一个老朋友的家人共进晚餐。
when entering your home=when you are entering your home 是从属连词引导的一个时间状语从句,当你正走进你的家里的时候,(不是定语从句修饰one day/day)
