| 释义 | 〔complete〕"Where laws end, tyranny begins" (William Pitt). “哪里没有法制，暴政就从哪里开始” （威廉姆·皮特）。〔where〕"Generally, I knew where he was at, but couldn't always tell where he was coming from" (Robert M. Adams).See Usage Note at why “通常来说，我知道他在什么地方，但我却不总能说出他从哪里来” （罗伯特·M·亚当斯） 参见 why〔wherefrom〕From which.从哪里，出于…〔where〕Whenwhere is used to refer to a point of origin, the prepositionfrom is required: Where did she come from? When it is used to refer to a point of destination,the prepositionto is generally superfluous: Where is she going? ( preferable toWhere is she going to? ). When it is used to refer to the place at which an event or a situation is located,the use ofat is widely regarded as regional or colloquial: Where is the station? (not Where is the station at? ). The idiomatic phrasewhere it's at, widely used in the 1960's to refer to "the current state of things,” is now largely pass?, except when used for stylistic effect: 当where 被用来指起源方面时， 介词from 就需要用上： 她从哪里来? 当它被用来指目的地时，介词to 就通常是多余的： 她要去哪里? ( 比起她要向哪里去? 更可取）。 当它被用来指事件所发生的场合或一种局面形势所处的地方时，使用at 则被广泛认作是地区性的或口语化的： 车站在哪里? （而不是 车站位于什么地方? )。 惯用语短语where it's at 在20世纪60年代广泛被用来指“事情的当前状态”，现已很大程度上过时了， 除非当我们用它来加强文体效果： 〔where〕Where did you get this idea?你从哪里弄到这个主意?〔anathema〕"the sound of a witch's anathemas in some unknown tongue"(Nathaniel Hawthorne)“女巫诅咒的声音不知从哪里传过来”(纳撒尼尔·霍索恩)〔whence〕From where; from what place:从何处；从哪里：〔appear〕a flash of lightning that seemed to materialize from nowhere;不知从哪里显现的一道闪电； |
