where和in which的区别

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

如果先行词(指定语从句修饰的那个表地点的词)前已有前置词(介词)，关系副词就用where ；如果先行词前没有前置词，此时既可以用where，也可以用in which,但在美国的TOEFL考试中一般要用in which。
例如：①The offices,laboratory,and museum are situated at te top of the hill whe re they command a fine view.(参考译文：办公室、实验室和博物馆都坐落在山顶上，从那儿他们可以俯瞰周围秀丽的景色。)句中用where是因为top前已有前置词at。②The farmer uses wood to build a house in which to store grains.(译文：农民用木头造了一间房子，用来储存粮食。)
定语从句中,只有当定语从句的先行词为地点（或抽象地点）时,关系副词where才能与介词（in/on/at）+ which互换使用.如：
This is the factory where/in which I worked for two years.
It's helpful to put children in a situation where/in which they can see themselves differently.
而当定语从句的先行词不是地点,而是其它情况时,可以使用介词（in/on/at）+ which时,则不能换为关系副词where.如：
I don't like the way in which you speak to others.
