曹老师你好!
今天遇见下面一个句子:
The Charpy V-notch impact test is a dynamic test in which a notchedspecimen is struck and broken by a single blow in a specially designed testingmachine.
上面粗体的部分是一个定语从句吗?若是的话先行词在从句中干什么成分?
这显然是定语从句。你有一个错误的理解,以为先行词在定语从句中作成分。先行词是主句的成分,先行词并不在从句中作成分,关系代词指代先行词,是关系代词在定语从句中作成分。本句中,关系代词which指代a dynamic test.which作介词in的宾语,然后in which介词短语在定语从句中作状语。
