Taiwan is located along the southeast coast of the Asian continent, on the line 22 the Euro-Asian and Philippine continental plates meet.
答案:(D) where
關係副詞 where 引導地方子句,「歐亞板塊與菲律賓板塊交會的『線』」,where修飾地方名詞line;that、what、when都不合這種地方關係子句的用法。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率,以下不談數據,只談觀念。
先行詞是 line(線),不是你熟悉的 place 或 country,所以「地方用 where」可能不會想到這條規則,反而選了最常用的 that。
先看空格前面:on the line ___ ——先行詞是 the line,指的是地理上的一條線(板塊交界線),性質上是一個「地方」。再數空格後面那個子句:the Euro-Asian and Philippine continental plates meet(歐亞板塊與菲律賓板塊交會)——主詞是兩個板塊、動詞是 meet,而 meet 在這裡是不及物的「交會」,不需要受詞,成分一個都不缺。既然不缺,that 就進不來:關係代名詞一定要在子句裡占一個位置。剩下能用的是關係副詞 where——它本身不占成分,只代替一個表地方的介系詞片語。還原一次就清楚了:on the line, and the plates meet on that line(在那條線上,而兩個板塊在那條線上交會),把 on that line 換成 where。同判準的題目題庫裡已經出現好幾次:83 年第 17 題、89 年第 25 題、92 年第 25 題、98 年第 23 題,全都是先行詞是地方、子句成分已滿。先行詞是不是典型的「地方」不重要,重要的是它在子句裡扮演什麼角色。
that:關係代名詞,成分已滿塞不進去。when:關係副詞,但要配時間的先行詞(the day when),而 line 不是時間。what:不能當關係代名詞,它前面不能有先行詞。
the line where …(……的那條線)、the place where …(……的地方)、be located along(位於……沿線)、continental plates(大陸板塊)、a geographic location(地理位置)、result in(導致)。
