■下面兩句的when均引導的是非限制性定語從句,其中的 when 不能換成 then,但是before when和since when可以分別換成 and before then和and since then(注意這樣轉換必須要有并列連詞):
I went to bed at ten, before when I was reading.
We came a week ago, since when the weather has been bad.
■對于第三、四句,分析如下:
I stay at home on the days that (on which) I am not busy. 一句中的介詞on不宜省略。其中的on the days that 相當于when。
We arrived the day that (on which) they left. 一句中的the day 前面可以加上on,也可以不加。若加上on,與上面一句的用法是一樣的;若不加on,則是把the day視為連詞,引導時間狀語從句,意為“當(在)……的那一天”(與the minute, the moment, the instant等用作連詞引導狀語的情況相似)。又如:
He is going to visit his aunt the day he arrives in Beijing . 他一到北京,就去看他姨媽。
The day he returned home, his father was already dead. 他回家的那一天,他的父親已經死了。
無論是 the day (that, when) 還是 on the day (that, when),均相當于when(當……的時候),只是含義比 when 更具體、更明確。
■He went home the same evening that he heard the news. 這一句中的 the same evening 前用不用介詞都可以(如用是用on,而不是用in),其區別就好比 the day that 與 on the day that 的情形一樣的,兩者均相當于 when(當……的時候)。 回復時間:
