一、关于where的用法详解
一、where的用法
1. 状语从句中的where
Sit where I can see you. 坐在我的视线范围内。
Wherever she goes, crowds of people wait to see her. 她所到之处,总有人等待见她。
2. 定语从句中的where
2.1 限制性定语从句
It's one of the few countries where people drive on the left. 这是为数不多的靠左行驶的之一。
The government is at a stage where it's open to dialogue with almost anyone. 已经到了愿意与几乎任何人对话的阶段。
2.2 非限制性定语从句
We moved to Paris, where we lived for six years. 我们搬到了巴黎,并在那里住了六年。

3. 名词性从句中的where
3.1 主语从句

(其他类型的名词性从句中where的用法类似,可根据具体语境理解)
二、wherever的用法及示例
Sit wherever you please. 你想坐在哪里就坐在哪里。
不论她引向何处,他们都会跟随。Wherever she leads, they follow.
无论她到哪里,总会有一阵骚动。Wherever she goes, there's always a commotion.
总结与比较
where主要用于指定地点,而wherever则用于非特定地点。在状语从句中,二者均可使用,但在名词性从句中,wherever还可引导宾语从句等,而no matter where不可替换。为了加深理解,我们比较一下两个句子:
"They must go where we send them." 与 "They must go wherever we send them." 前者表示"他们必须去我们派他们去的地方",后者则强调"无论我们派他们去哪里,他们都必须去"。
