occasion表示“时刻”时,后面的定语从句通常用when引导;表示“场合”时,后面的定语从句通常用where引导。

occasion作先行词时,关系词的选择:

occasion既可指地点也可指时间。当occasion在句中作先行词时,充分利用语境明确其在句中指的是地点还是时间,从而决定用where还是用when来引导定语从句。

*This is not an occasion for laughter, where you must take things seriously.

*On the occasion when your birthday arrives, let’s get together and have a good

time.
