Dogs also smell through each nostril separately, so they can pinpoint the direction a smell is coming from. " u- ~' Y5 w1 [) ~2 l1 h5 E4 @ 0 W" U \# [) Y/ k: K首先要注意的是,第一句中的which不是定语从句的关系词。 ! `; s; R( r( g4 |2 N3 k0 N# W用which direction这样的表达是出于句意的考虑,(气味从哪一个方向过来的),强调“哪一个”的意思。: `8 {) ^/ x+ \( h6 r. U

如果用定语从句,句子的措辞需要变一下,例句 they can pinpoint the direction a smell is coming from.(这样句子就不再包含“哪一个方向”的含义)+ b) K$ j( ~4 _$ ^) [6 y! |$ K

这里的which不是定语从句的关系代词,是tell的宾语从句中的主语,是个疑问限定词。如果将该宾语从句独立出 ...
( N, l) Q, x# k+ E明白了,可是为什么不直接用你这句呢?【so they can tell which direction is the smell coming from?】! ?8 ]6 I" a4 `! M5 A3 H' b# n
原句用【tell which direction a smell】看不懂,direction 紧接着 a smell 是倒装吗?
