He get married at the age of 18, the age when most of his friends were still in school or at college.
老师解释说是句子中的 the age 是同位语,后面的 when most of his... 是修饰 the age 的定语从句。请问专家,是这样分析的吗?
你的老师解释得对,the age 是同位语,其主体词是 the age of 18,其后的 when most of his... 是修饰 the age 的定语从句。请看两个类似例句:
(1) I was forty, the age when people take stock and change their lives. 我已年届不惑,到了该全面审视自己并改变生活的年龄了。(the age 是同位语,后面的 when 从句是定语从句,修饰名词 the age)
(2) Later that year he attacked a photographer, an incident that cost him dear. 那年底他攻击了一位摄影师,这件事让他付出了巨大代价。(an incident 是同位语,后面的 that从句是定语从句,修饰名词 an incident)
