Why not try your luck downtown, Bob? That's where the best jobs are.
请问这里为什么用where?
That's where the best jobs are. that指代downtown。市中心是最好的工作所在之处。市中心才能找到最好的工作。
where为特殊关系副词(融合型关系副词)引导名词性从句作表语。相当于与一个名词+关系副词where引导的定语从句。 where=the place where.
系词be如果需要翻译出汉语的“是”,则表语是名词性表语,从句也是名词性从句。
He is a doctor. 他是医生。
形容词和副词作表语,be不翻译。
She is beautiful. 她很漂亮。
She is there. 她在那里。
where可以引导四种从句:
1 地点状语从句:传统语法认为此时的where是从属连词,不作成分。生成语法认为这种where是融合型关系副词(fused relative adverb),意为“在。。。的地方”。
Put the book where it should be.
Where there is smoke, there is fire.
2 定语从句:where为关系副词,指代主句的时间名词,并在从句中作状语。
This is the house where I lived for 3 years.
Last year I visited Kennia, where I saw many wild animals.
3 名词性从句:where为疑问副词(连接副词),保留疑问含义“哪里”。
The question is where we can get the money.
I don't know where he is now.
4 名词性从句:where为特殊关系副词(融合型关系副词),where=the place where. 整个从句行当于一个被定语从句修饰的名词词组。意为“。。。的地方”
This is where his brother was killed.=This is the place where his brother was killed.
Where there used to be a factory is now a beautiful square.
网友的句子就是第四种情况,where引导名词性表语从句,相当于一个带有定语从句的名词词组。
