關係副詞”where”何時能省略？

Question

關於關係副詞"where"省略的問題我從3本書去找，但得到的答案有差異，請給我答案。

1. 賴世雄常春藤文法：限定修飾時，where不可省略(p.114)
書中例句: That's the place he was born. (Χ)
That's the place where he was born. (○)

2. 劉毅文法寶典：只有在"the place"後的where才可以省略。(p.243)
書中例句: This is the place (where) we used tp live.

3.M.S. Practical English Usage：只有在somewhere, anywhere, everywhere, nowhere, place 之後where才能省略，其他的字不行(#477.3)
書中例句: We need a place (that) we can stay for a few days.


請問諸君：哪本的說法是最正確的呢？

Answer 1

. 賴世雄常春藤文法：限定修飾時，where不可省略(p.114)
書中例句: That's the place he was born. (Χ)
That's the place where he was born. (○)

2. 劉毅文法寶典：只有在"the place"後的where才可以省略。(p.243)
書中例句: This is the place (where) we used tp live.

"where"is used in an adjective clause to modify a place(city, country, room,etc.)That's the place where he was born. (○)he was born-an adjective clause .當where用在形容詞子句.不可省略.

If "where"is used , a preposition is NOT included in the adjective clause ,as in.If "where"is not used ,the prepositionmust be include,as in

當句子有地方介係詞 IN或AT可省略.
所以This is the place (where) we live in.可省略.

Example:The town I grew up in is small.可省略.
The town where I grew up is small.不可省略.
That is the restaurant where I will meet you.
That is the restaurant where I will meet you at.OR(That is the restaurant at which I will meet you.)at (in)which=where

Answer 3

關副=介詞+關代

當句子有地方介係詞 IN或AT可省略.
所以This is the place (where) we live in.可省略.
->不是"可"省略,是決不型用where

2007-10-24 22:01:53 補充：
The town I grew up in is small.可省略
-->同上

That is the restaurant where I will meet you at.
-->這句是錯的

That is the restaurant where I will meet you.

= This is the restaurant at which I will meet you.
