It stormed all day, during which time the ship broke up.
这里的which究竟指的是什么?本来应该是是all day's time, 所以,那么为什么不是during whose time呢?all day's = whose...呀?
同理,这句Call again at eleven, by which time the meeting should be over. 应该是by whose time? whose=eleven's time ? 这里的which指的什么呢?
如果说我的理解是错的,那为什么这句This is the pen whose point is broken. 不说成This is the pen which point is broken呢?
我的困惑在于whose, which作为关系限定词使用,究竟是什么区别?怎么理解含义呢?
你先看一下并列结构:
It stormed all day, and during that time the ship broke up. 指示代词that+time, 指stormed all day这段时间,作介词during的宾语。and连接并列句。现在我们把并列句改为主从复合句,只需去掉并列标记and, 用关系代词which替换指示代词that,在关系代词which作为从属标记,引导非限制性定语从句。
It stormed all day, during which time the ship broke up.
which作为关系限定词替换的指示限定词(this,that,these,those),不能替换属格代词。而whose为属格限定词,替换属格代词,my, your, his, its, their等。
同理,第二句的并列结构如下:
Call again at eleven, and by that time the meeting should be over.
that为指示代词(指示限定词),去掉and改为关系分句时要用关系限定词which,而不能用属格限定词whose.
