第007句
The Timber rattlesnake is now on the endangered species list, and is extinct in two eastern states in which it once flourished.
译文:粗鳞响尾蛇现已成为濒危物种,它在一度活跃过的东部两州里已经灭绝了。
点睛:endangered species意为“濒危物种”。which引导的是以states为先行词的定语从句,前面的介词in不可省略,但in which可以用where来替代。注意,如果关系代词在定语从句中充当介词的宾语,介词既可置于从句之首,亦可置于从句之末,但前者较正式。
The friend with whom l was traveling spoke German.
和我一起旅行的那住朋友讲德语。
