请翻译下这句话,我这个地方搞不明白,这个“where”是充当什么成分的,它代了什么先行词吗?

答案

Ambition's public defenders are few and unimpressive,where they are not extremly unattractive.
公开为雄心辩解的则少之又少,虽不能说他们是完全没有吸引力的,但却未能给人们留下深刻印象.
where连接词,在这里可能等于from which angles.
Consequences followed from this,of course,some of which are that ambition is driven underground,or made sly.
当然,这带来了一些后果.其中的一些使得雄心变得隐秘和狡猾.
which的先行词是consequences,some of which=some of the consequences,意为“其中的一些后果”.
