Question

状语从句简单的
Samuel Colt succeeded where other men had failed due largely to the fact that he did not give up easily.
where引导的为什么不是宾语从句而是状语从

Answer 1

1、succeed 作为“成功”讲是不及物动词,不能直接带有任何宾语,更不用说宾语从句了.如果要表示“...取得成功”,必须和介词搭配才能跟宾语,如：succeed in doing sth.（做成功某事）,succeed in examination（考试及格）
2、本句中的连接副词 where 相当于 in a place in/at which,其结构就是——
主句：Samuel Colt succeeded 塞缪尔·柯尔特取得了成功
地点状语从句：where other men had failed （=in a place in which other men had failed ）在其他人失败的地方
原因状语：due largely to the fact that he did not give up easily.主要归因于他没有轻易地放弃的这个事实.（that he did not give up easily 是具体说明 fact 的同位语从句）
3、where 常可以用来引导地点状语从句,如下面句子中的 where 从句就是这样：
* He lives (where) the climate is mild.他住在一个气候温暖的地方
= He lives (in a place at which) the climate is mild.
* (Where) there is a will there is a way 有志者事竟成.
=There is a way (in a place in which) there is a will.
