所谓词义十分明确或确切,是说这个名词所指的词汇意义,不会产生歧义或误解。例如,place 是个明确的地点,hotel 也是一个宾客居住(live 或 stay)的确切地点。动词不定式作定语可以省略介词,例如:Let's find a hotel to stay。(加上 in 虽正确,但啰嗦)定语从句可以用 that 代替 where 或 in which,还可以全部省略。
以下表达都正确:
We can pick you up from the hotel you are staying. We can pick you up from the hotel you are staying in. We can pick you up from the hotel that you are staying. We can pick you up from the hotel that you are staying in. We can pick you up from the hotel where you are staying. We can pick you up from the hotel which you are staying in. We can pick you up from the hotel in which you are staying.

来自辞典例句 Is there a place we can check in our coats? 有暂存大衣的地方吗?
