situation where(where从句是同位语从句还是定语从句)

来源:www.ysyskj.com 2025-05-21

句子The country is in the situation where a war willbreak out at any time. 这个句子主流的讲解是用关系副词where引导的定语从句,修饰抽象地址situation。(本人也更倾向于这个说法)

但亦有同志提出,这个从句应该是对situation的讲解,应该用that来引导同位语从句。请问这个说法是不是有道理?假如不对应该怎么样反驳?

The country is in the situation where a war will break out at any time.

这里的 where 从句应剖析为定语从句。理由如下:

1. 这里的 where 可以用 in which 来替代(where引导同位语从句时是不可以换成 in which 的):

The country is in the situation wherea war will break out at any time.

= The country is in the situation inwhich a war will break out at any time.

2. where 引导同位语从句仅用于极少数名词(特别是idea)后面,不能随便推广。如下面一句中的 where 引导同位语从句:

I have no idea where he is. (同位语从句)

3. situation where 中的 where 引导的是定语从句在英美人写的权威语法著作中可以查到依据。譬如以下截图摘自《柯林斯COBUILD英语语法大全》(Collins COBUILDEnglish Grammar)第3版第8.108节:
