118. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men.
譯文
在我的一生中，一度有人不斷問起我，在男性占主導(dǎo)的領(lǐng)域里工作是何種狀況。
點(diǎn)睛
本句的主干是there was a time in my life。when people asked constantly for stories...是when引導(dǎo)的定語從句，用來修飾先行詞time； about what it's like to work in a field dominated by men是stories的定語，用來說明stories的具體內(nèi)容；dominated by men是非謂語動(dòng)詞形式，作后置定語，修飾field。
ask for的意思是“要求，請求”。dominate的意思是“統(tǒng)治，支配，控制”。如：
He has been in the position for many years and has been used to dominating others. 他在那個(gè)職位上已經(jīng)多年，習(xí)慣了支配別人。
考點(diǎn)歸納
關(guān)系副詞when，where，why和關(guān)系代詞that，which用法的區(qū)別。
引導(dǎo)定語從句的關(guān)系副詞有when，where和why。其中when表示時(shí)間，where表示地點(diǎn)，why表示原因；它們在從句中分別作時(shí)間狀語、地點(diǎn)狀語和原因狀語。但是，當(dāng)先行詞表示時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)或原因，關(guān)系詞在從句中作主語或賓語而不是狀語時(shí)，不可用when，where或why，而應(yīng)用that或which。如：
1) I will never forget the day when I first met her. 我永遠(yuǎn)也忘不了初次見到她的那一天。（從句中缺狀語，應(yīng)用關(guān)系副詞when）
2) I will never forget the day that/which we spent together. 我永遠(yuǎn)也忘不了我們一起度過的那一天。（從句中缺賓語，應(yīng)用關(guān)系代詞that或which）
