后半句中的in which怎么理解？（英语语法

Question

In August Amazon announced that the second season of its “The Lord of the Rings” prequel series will be shot in Britain, after two decades【 in which 】Middle Earth meant New Zealand.

Answer 1

in which中的which是关系代词，它代替前面的two decades 作介词in的宾语，而介词短语in which ＝in two decades，在定语从句中作时间状语，修饰Middle Earth meant New Zealand.

Answer 2

in which在这里是一个定语从句的引导词。可以换成关系副词where。这里关键要找出它的先行词。应该是前面的英国Britain。当然，这里面穿插着一个介词短语，做时间状语。

Answer 3

which 指代先行词 two decades，in which 属于"介词+关系代词"引导的定语从句，在从句中充当状语，相当于 in the two decades，可翻译为“在此期间”。

Answer 4

two decades in which = in two decades，是在...期间的意思。in which 可以看成 when，引导的是定语从句。本回答被提问者采纳

Answer 5

答案：在这in which 的意思是“其中”或者“剧中”。
