We can’t find mosquitoes in the place where it is very cold.
如果依照國中教法,試著讓這個句子出現in which 再變成where的話,
反推回去,這個句子的演化應該是這樣
We can't find mosquitoes in the place.
It is very cold in the place.
換句子順序,讓重複的部分靠近一點。
We can’t find mosquitoes in the place.
In the place it is very cold.
重複的部分是the place,用which取代
=>We can’t find mosquitoes in the place in which it is very cold.
用where取代in which
=>We can’t find mosquitoes in the place where it is very cold.
另一方面
We can't find mosquitoes in the place that is very cold.
這個句子的原形應該是
We can’t find mosquitoes in the place.
The place is very cold.
重複的是the place,但是與上一個寫法不同的是,
the place在第二句這裡是當主詞用
所以用關係代名詞which 或 that。
We can’t find mosquitoes in the place which/that is very cold.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
但是我個人覺得,以上這兩個寫法在語感上都不怎麼通順,
尤其是用where的寫法在語感上感覺頗為囉嗦。
因為
1. 觀察where這個寫法中,
We can’t find mosquitoes in the place where it is very cold.
it這個主詞其實是虛字,語意指涉的實際上仍是the place,
所以
…in the place where it…
這個結構中
三個片段the place, where, it其實都指涉同一個概念:the place
相較之下用which/that
We can’t find mosquitoes in the place which/that is very cold.
少了it這個虛字,較為簡潔。
2. 更進一步想, 不論是
…in the place where it is very cold
或
…in the place that is very cold
真正有意義的字其實只有in the place, very cold
而英文作為一種語言,目的是表達思想。
表達同一個概念的方式可能有千百種,但是在不失原意的前提下,
越簡潔的方式當然越好。
而本句要表達的意思其實很簡單「在很冷的地方我們找不到蚊子」,
用簡單句
We can’t find mosquitoes in very cold places.
即可表達原本的句意,沒有必要用到相對複雜的複句結構。
書上用where或that,感覺只是硬要加上複句結構,讓句子看起來比較高級。
以上個人意見,供您參考。
可以的話,是否能提供一下那本書的書名呢? 我想去找來看看,謝謝。
