我如何高效地學好英文的3個轉捩點,平均5個半月學英文從不合格到進入亞洲頂尖大學【按此了解】
先看 1. 再看2. ,明白當中可以是從 preposition 調上來的。那就會知其所以然。
1.
in which 可翻譯成「在…裡面」
for which 可翻譯成「為了…目的」
on which 可翻譯成「在…上面」
at which 可翻譯成「在…某點上」
from which可翻譯成「在…出來」
to which可翻譯成「要去的…. 位置」

2.
in/for/on/at/from/to/of which 的preposition 是從子句的最後調上來的。
例:
The box in which the books are kept was bought.
= The box which the books are kept in was bought.
【當時買了那些用來放置這些書本的箱子。】
The town of which we were speaking is a famous one.
= The town which we were speaking of is a famous one.

The castle which I am pointing ‘at’ was built at mid-century(中世紀).
=The castle ‘at’ which I am pointing was built at mid-century.
【我指著的那個城堡是在中世紀建成的。】
其他preposition如under which, during which, about which, over which, etc. 都是同樣這樣用。 道理是一樣的。
