定语从句修饰名词,状语从句修饰动词。在where引导的定语从句中,where本身充当地点状语。where引导的状语从句表明谓语动词发生的地点。
I
work
in
a
school
where
there
are
a
lot
of
green
trees.
我在一所绿树成荫的学校工作。(where
there
are
a
lot
of
green
trees紧跟在名词school之后,说明它是修饰school,是定语从句。)
Please
put
it
where
there
are
a
lot
of
green
trees.
请把它放在绿树成荫的地方。(where
there
are
a
lot
of
green
trees修饰put,表明“放”的地点,是地点状语从句。)
no
matter
what
可以放在句子中间。如:
When
he
walked
in
the
forest,
no
matter
what
he
saw,
he
didn't
pay
attention
to
it
and
walked
on.
他在森林里走的时候,无论看到什么都不去注意它,而是继续往前走。
