核心问题
I hate it when people talk with their mouths full. (全国高考,98-8)
请问 when 从句是时间状语从句吗?
词典解答
应把 when 从句看作是真实宾语或后移宾语,而把 it 看作是形式宾语或先行宾语,见 it 。
下面句中的 when 分句可以看作是主语从句:
It is a violation of human rights when women and girls are sold into the slavery of prostitution. (Hillary, Living History) 当妇女和女孩被卖身为娼妓时,这就是违反人权。(希拉里,《亲历历史》)
