例句 :
He used to keep a notebook,in which were writen the namesof his friends .
翻译:他过去常常保留一本笔记本,上面写了他朋友们的名字。
此题考查定语从句和倒装句型。
1. 非限制性定语从句中的关系代词which代指先行词notebook,放入定语从句中为:
in which were written the names of his friedns
= the names of his friends were written in which
= the names of his friends were written in the notebook
2. 定语从句采用了全部倒装,即把状语in which提前,中间是谓语were written,主语the names of his friends置后。
句子主语the names of his friends为复数,时态为一般过去时,所以be动词用were.
In which 用法,可以理解成将 in 从后面的子句中搬到前面来,让原本可能冗长的句子,变得很精简。
例一:I saw a movie in which the villain goes to jail.
我看了一部关于坏蛋被关进监狱的电影。
注意,这句子其实是这样子的:
I saw a movie.
+
The villain goes to jail in the movie.
=
I saw a movie in which the villain goes to jail
例二:You have 7 days in which you can cancel the contract and get your money back.
你有七天的时间可以取消合约跟拿回你的钱。
You have 7 days.
You can cancel the contract and get your money back in the 7 days.
上面这两个句子相加,用了in which 的用法之后,就成了原句。
You have 7 days in which you can cancel the contract and get your money back.
