Sentence Patterns
The bookstore, which was a legendary fixture in the neighbourhood, was a place where anyone could drop in and connect through their love of books.
这家书店固定开设在附近享有盛名是一个任何人都可以因为爱看书来而顺便进来并与他人建立良好关系的地方。
句式分析:句中which引导非限定性定语从句修饰先行词the bookstore;where引导定语从句修饰先行词a place相当于at which。
(名师指津)当先行词是表示地点的名词时,用关系副词where还是that/which引导定语从句,关键要看关系词在定语从句中作何种成分。若关系词在从句中充当状语,则用where引导;若关系词在从句中充当主语或宾语,则用which或that引导。
