All right ? They might have a job where it's not important like accountant, or president of
the United States.
Here's the thing, man, this happens every generation.
这是美国脱口秀主持人崔娃在CNN说的。
我想请教老师:
1)where it's not...这里用where 和 it's...正确吗?如何理解这里用where?
是否应该改成which/that is not important like...?
2) 是否应该补上介词in: this happens in every generation. ?
All right ? They might have a job where it's not important like accountant, or president of the United States.
本句,where 引导定语从句,把先行词 job 视为“隐性的地点”,说明 it (另外一件事,例如“个性、学识、专业技术”)在这项工作中占据重要位置。考虑问题多动脑子!不要随便怀疑!
where 指地点,在定语从句中作地点状语。它的先行词通常是表示地点的名词。这里说的“地点”包含着:①具体的地点,如 place, house;②抽象的地点,如 position, stage;③隐性的地点,如 job, story, words, something 等。
Here's the thing, man, this happens every generation.
名词前若有 every, each, 指示代词等限定,省略介词。很简单的道理:
I went to see a film on Sunday.
I go to see a film every Sunday.
I will go to see a flim this Sunday.
我发现,网友近来有些迟钝。务必学会举一反三,触类旁通。这个问题也是:
