题目

Now we are in a position (where) we have to accept that we are wrong.
关于这里的where、我知道position用where引导定语从句、
但是前面出现的介词in如何解释?介词+where吗?望详解.
希望类比一下 This is the place where he was born.其中没有介词in

答案

你类比的句子如果改一下,we are at the place where he was born.意思是我们就在他出生的地方.这里的at a place 和元句子的in a position 是一样的都是在句子中作表语,因为在系动词后面.而后面的where引导的定语从句只是修饰前面的先行词,与先行词前面的介词无关.当然,Now we are in a position (where) we have to accept that we are wrong.=
Now we are in a position (in which) we have to accept that we are wrong.which 指代的是position.
