The plan is to locate the hotel somewhere overlooking the lake.

请教专家老师：

1. 副词 somewhere 表示“某个地方”，句中的somewhere可以换作 where / in the place where 吗？

【答】既然somewhere 是“地点副词”，那么，完全可以用等同的表示地点的成分代替它。例如：

1. The plan is to locate the hotel here/there.（地点副词）

2. The plan is to locate the hotel on the mountain. （介词短语）

3. The plan is to locate the hotel where there is no pollution. （where引导的地点状语）

4. The plan is to locate the hotel on the mountain where there are green trees around. （介词短语 + 定语从句）

2. somewhere overlooking the lake 是地点状语从句？

【答】不是地点状语。没有连词，也没有主语和谓语，哪来的从句？实际是，现在分词短语overlooking the lake作somewhere的定语。somewhere这个词很特殊，副词和名词兼而有之。

overlook表示“鸟瞰”意义时，其主语可以是地点名词。例如：

The hotel features a lovely dining-room overlooking the lake.

这家旅店特别设有漂亮的餐厅可以俯瞰湖面。

来自《简明英汉词典》

The house is in an elevated position, overlooking the town. 

这栋房子地势较高，可以俯瞰全城。

来自《权威词典》

The house sits high on a hill overlooking a lake. 

房子高高地坐落在可以俯瞰湖水的小山上。

来自《简明英汉词典》

整个句子翻译如下：

The plan is to locate the hotel somewhere overlooking the lake.

“我们的计划是把酒店定位于一个可以俯瞰湖面的地方。”

3. somewhere overlooking the lake 中 overlook 是状态，静态动词？若把修饰 somewhere 的后置定语即分词短语 overlooking the lake 转换成定语从句，是换作 somehere it is overlooking the lake 还是 somewhere it overlooks lake 呢? 或是两者皆可？

即：

The plan is to locate the hotel in the place where / where it is overlooking the lake.

The plan is to locate the hotel in the place where / where it overlooks the lake.

【答】这两句都错，不是原句的意思。在第2个问题中，我已经解答了。现在分词短语overlooking the lake 作somewhere 的定语，它是修饰somewhere 的，somewhere 是它的逻辑主语。

The plan is to locate the hotel in the place where / where it is overlooking the lake. （误）

The plan is to locate the hotel in the place where / where it overlooks the lake.（误）

正确的表达是：

The plan is to locate the hotel somewhere that can overlook the lake. （正）

又如： We have found a beautiful situation that can overlook the valley.

我们找到了可俯瞰山谷的优美地点。

The plan is to locate the hotel somewhere overlooking the lake.

请教专家老师：

1. 副词 somewhere 表示“某个地方”，句中的somewhere可以换作 where / in the place where 吗？

【答】不行。

2. somewhere overlooking the lake 是地点状语从句？

【答】是地点状语，不是地点状语从句。

3. somewhere overlooking the lake 中 overlook 是状态，静态动词？若把修饰 somewhere 的后置定语即分词短语 overlooking the lake 转换成定语从句，是换作 somehere it is overlooking the lake 还是 somewhere it overlooks lake 呢? 或是两者皆可？

【答】是 somewhere it overlooks lake 。即：

The plan is to locate the hotel in the place where / where it is overlooking the lake.（错误）

The plan is to locate the hotel in the place where / where it overlooks the lake.（错误）

The plan is to locate the hotel somewhere it overlooks the lake.（正确）
