看到有观点说,关系代词that可替代关系副词when、where、why表关系副词意义,如:
Hardly a day goes by that(when) I don't think of him.
请问是否正确?
Hardly a day goes by that (when) I don't think of him. 该句有点特别:1. 主句没有倒装;2. 定语从句和先行词 a day ,被谓语动词分隔。不过,这句话应该是正确的句子。 在现代英语中,that 是一个多功能词,也可以用作关系副词引导定语从句,修饰表示时间(time)、地点(place)、原因(reason)、方式(way)的先行词。that作关系副词时,相当于when, where, why, in which(分别对应前面的四个先行词),而且一般可以省略。 (1) 表示时间时,that相当于when或介词+which,可省略。 I still remember the time (that/when/in which) I helped my father on the farm. 我仍然记得在农场里帮助我爸爸的岁月。 (2) 表示地点时,that相当于where或介词+which,可省略。 I have never been to the place (that/where/in which) the Indians live. 我从未到过那些印第安人居住的地方。 (3)表示原因时,that相当于why或for which,可省略。 The reason (that/why/for which)he lost his life was lack of medical care. 他的死是由于缺乏医疗造成的。 (4)表示方式时,that相当于in which,可省略。 Can you work out a way (that/in which) we can solve this problem? 你能找出一种我们能够解决这个问题的方法吗? 【注】最后这句子,不能用 how 引导定语从句。注意:how 从来不引导定语从句!
