纠结点:介词+which/whom/whose究竟作什么成分?
答:作状语(不一定只是时间、地点原因)或定语。(可理解成介词短语在句中充当成分)
例子:
I don't like the way in which you talk to your father.我不喜欢你跟你爸说话的方式。
in which=in the way(这里是作方式状语)
There are ten books here, two of which belong to you. 这里有十本书,其中两本是你的。
(of which 这里是定语)
所以,在They are the possessions of the autonomous(self-governing) man of traditional theory, and they are essential to practices in which a person is held responsible for his conduct and given credit for his achievements.
中的in which=in the practices,其实就是地点状语。(在实践中)(指明范围)
译文:
它们是传统理论中自主(自治)的人的财产,是实践中必不可少的,在实践中,一个人要为他的行为负责,并为他的成就受到赞扬。(翻译来自有道词典)
