3 where 指代谁

"The bronze brings out a level of depth and shine and vibrancy you cannot get in the clay. The clay absorbs a lot of light, where the bronze has this very nice quality that you just cannot picture what that's going to look like, but we trust the process," he said.

这句话的where the bronze是定语从句吗?还有后面quality that you just…讲义说这个that引导的是定语从句,看上去像同位语从句,这个where开头这句话怎么翻译?

谢邀。赞同刘冬网友的解答。这里的where=whereas. 相当于while, on the other hand的意思,表示转折。多见于美国英语。请看the free dictionary 的解释:

3. Whereas: That model has an attractive design, where this one is more dependable.

The clay absorbs a lot of light, where the bronze has this very nice quality that you just cannot picture what that's going to look like

参考译文:粘土吸收了大量的光,而青铜的质量非常好,你无法想象它看起来将会什么样子

备注:where引导从句表示一种对比。请看以下where这个用法英文解释

where (用于引导从句进行对比)然而 (英文解释You use where to introduce a clause that contrasts with the other parts of the sentence.

Where some people learned to play the accordion for dances in their community, others took music lessons..

一些人学习弹手风琴,为他们社区里的舞蹈表演进行伴奏,而其他人则上音乐课。

读了几遍,感觉这是说青铜优于粘土。where引导的从句偶尔也能表示“让步”意思。The clay absorbs a lot of lightthe bronze has this very nice quality that you just cannot picture what that's going to look like之间的逻辑语义上有转折。中文就是,粘土就是吸收大量光,然而青铜品质非常好,你无法描述它会是什么样子。因此,我认这里where引导的从句是让步状语从句。
