The barn at which Hurstwood applied was exceedingly short-handed.这个句子的引导词是什么,这个at可不可以放到applied的后面?存不存在apply at的搭配,存在才可以将at放到applied的后面吗?不太理解这个结构,这样解释正不正确呢?这个定语从句的先行词是the barn,which指代的就是the barn,在从句中充当介词后面的宾语?
The barn at which Hurstwood applied was exceedingly short-handed.
主干:
The barn was short-handed.
at which近似where,即The barn where Hurstwood applied,难点在apply上,apply可以不及物,
如:You should apply in person. 这里的apply很可能是apply for a job.
