where,wherever,everywhere用法举要

where，wherever与everywhere用法举要

■崔长平 河南遂平一高（463100）

地点状语从句经常由where，wherever和everywhere来引导，它们所引导的从句既可以置于主句之前，也可以置于主句之后。where意为“在某个地方”，wherever意为“在任何一个地方，无论何地”，everywhere意为“在每个地方”。

Keep the child where you can see him. You should put the book where it was. Cross the stream where it is shallowest. You have the right to live where you want to. They have gone where the police can’t get them. He goes wherever he wants. Please keep sitting where you are. Everywhere I go, I find the same thing. 由where 引导的地点状语从句一般都可以使用 in / at the place where改成定语从句。 There is never peace where / at the place where men are greedy. The thread breaks where / at the place where it is weakest. I am not living where / in the place where I was.

Where(ver)和everywhere引导的地点状语从句置于主句之前时，大都含有“条件”或“让步”的意味，常常译作“无论哪里 ??”，“哪里 ?? 哪里就 ?? ”，“如果??”，“只要 ?? 就 ??”。

Wherever you go,you should do your work well. 无论你到哪里，你都要努力工作。 Where there is love,there is faith. 只要有爱情就会有真诚。 Where there is will,there is a way. 有志者，事竟成。

Go where you should,keep on studying. 无论你到哪里去，都要坚持学习。 Wherever the sea is,you will find seamen. 哪里有海，哪里就有渔民。 Birth is nothing where virtue is not. 如果没有品德，出身再好也等于零。 Everywhere they appeared,there were ovations. 他们出现在哪里，哪里就是一片欢腾。 where引导的地点状语从句也可以用来表示“对比与转折”，语义接近于while，whereas，意为“可是，然而，却”。

Where others are weak,he is strong.

We want to stay at home,where children would rather spend the holiday in the country.
