问题描述
薄冰实用英语语法详解p336：
(a) This is the room where Lu Xun once lived.
在该书p338：
(b) This is the house in which we lived last year
(c) This is the house (which / that) we lived inlast year
我按： (a) 句将 room 看作地点，用了引导副词 where，而(b)、（c）句用了关系代词 which 或 that，这是没有把 house 看作地点。我不明白，room 、house 意思差不多，都是指建筑物，为什么用的引导关系词不一样，如果将（a）句换成 which 或 that 可否，将（b）、(c)句中的关系代词 which 或 that 换成 where 可否。请专家指教，谢谢！
老师答疑
黎老师：
在定语从句中，where = in which = which / that ... in, 所以：
(a) This is the room where Lu Xun once lived.
= This is the room in which Lu Xun once lived.
= This is the room that / which Lu Xun once lived in.
（但不能说：This is the room in that Lu Xun once lived. 因为介词不能直接放在关系代词that的前面）
(b) This is the house in which we lived last year.
= This is the house where we lived last year.
(c) This is the house (which / that) we lived in last year.
= This is the house where we lived last year.
