定语从句引导词from where 的用法

from where 引导的定语从句

1、Soon after getting off his horse, the captain appeared at the second storey windows, from where he could see nothing but trees.下马不久，上尉就出现在二楼的窗口了。他从那里除了树木什么也没看到。(引导定语从句)

划线部分相当于…, and from at the windows…不可变为from which…，可用where，但不如用from where更具体。

2、She climbed up to the top of the hill, from where she could have a good view of the whole town.她登上山顶，从那里她可以一览全城风光。（引导定语从句）

划线部分相当于…, and from on the top of the hill或from on the top of which…,不可变为from which，也可直接用where引导，但语义较为含糊，不如用from where更加生动、形象、具体。

3、We went up to the roof , from where we had a good view of the procession.我们爬到屋顶，在那儿我们可以一览整个行进队伍。（引导定语从句）

划线部分可理解为and from on the top of the roof或from on the top of which，用from which是不对的，直接用where仍显不具体，不形象。

4、China is the birth place of kites, from where kiteflying spread to Japan, Korea, Thailand and India.中国是风筝的故乡，在那里风筝传到日本、朝鲜、泰国和印度。

这里from正与下文的spread to构成一个整体，可理解为from near/around this place，如若把from where换为where显然是讲不通的，改成from which,能够讲得通，但不太符合英语习惯。

5、The car stopped suddenly only a few inches from where I stood.那辆小汽车就在我站的地方仅几英寸处忽然停下了。（引导状语从句）这里的划线部分中where引导的是宾语从句，与from一起作地点状语从句。

在80年代读高中时有这样一句定语从句,老师不知道是怎样讲的,Lesson 18:<>.例一: His head soon appeared out of one of the second storey windows, from where he could see nothing but trees.不过大多数老师把它作为from 引导的宾语从句,然而,前面有先行词 the second storey windows.好像讲不通,或至少不怎么清楚.后来,有很多资料都喜欢用这一句来考学生: 例二:There is a tower on the top of the mountain, from where we can have an bird's eye on Chongqing. 包括<<三年高考,五年模拟>>也没有给出极其有说服力的理由认为要选from where 而不选from which. 但也有类似问题使用了以下句子: 例三:We finally found out the library, from which we borrowed many interesting books.现行教材Unit5 <>中也有一句:例四:" In the world of children and the world where ET comes from, love and friend ship are the most important......".眼前我们不得不研究其用途来让学生知道原因,以便今后可以了解而充分运用.我们备课组集体智慧有两种观点供网友参考: 1:象我一样似懂非懂之类认为是不是"习惯用法",只要复杂介词表示双重地点,多使用from where 或from out of which 或from the top of which,来指代明确的地点.如果使用from which 就会在理解上产生歧义,是指 from the top 还是 fron the mountain????这种讲解学生勉强可以接受.不过,有位老师则提供了似乎较为充分的理由: 当先行词是介词+地点名词而不仅仅是单个地点名词作先行词时,定语从句的引导词只能使用from where,这点上述几例可以有明显的区别,也令人信服.不过到目前为止,还找不出反驳的例证,

用法总结: 定语从句中有介词from ,且先行词在从句中作from的宾语,引导词可以使用which 也可以使用where.当先行词是主句的充当状语部分,定语从句的引导词多用where,如例一,二,四; 当先行词是主句的作宾语时,在定语从句中,引导词多用which,如例三.假设以上两中讲解都不令你满意,请你提出较为明确的解释,供我们共同学习,研究好吗???我在此十分感谢!!!---------Thanks a million!!
