The knee is the joints where the thigh bone meets the large bone of the lower leg.
膝蓋是大腿骨和小腿脛的連接處。
?

【解析】

1. where

1)where引導定語從句時是作關系副詞,在從句里代替先行詞充當地點狀語的成分,相當于介詞(in / at / on / ...)+which。

① Stephen Hawking believes that the earth is unlikely to the only planet _where_ life has developed gradually. (2010福建卷,24)

② The girl arranged to have piano lessons at the training centre with her sister _where_ she would stay for an hour. (2010 江西卷,31)

2)在近年來高考英語對于where的考查中,先行詞不僅僅是限于明顯的表示具體地點的名詞,也有表模糊化地點或表抽象化地點的名詞,在這一類先行詞后也可由where引導定語從句,在定語從句中作狀語。這類模糊化的或表抽象的地點名詞有:point, position, situation, condition, state,atmosphere, case, scene, business, stage等。例如:

① I have reached a point in my life _where__ I am supposed to make decisions of my own. (2009 浙江卷,14)

②It’s helpful to put children in a situation _where__ they can see themselves differently. (2009 福建卷,24)?

3)在定語從句中,where還可以作介詞的賓語,即由“介詞+where”引導定語從句。例如:

She stood near the window, _from where__ she could see what happened.

4) where引導地點狀語從句時是作從屬連詞,意為“在……的地方”或“到……的地方”。

Today, we will begin _where__ we stopped yesterday, so that no point will be left out. (2010重慶卷,32)

【注意】
1.指具體地點時,地點狀語從句可置于主句之前或之后;表示抽象條件的含義時,地點狀語從句須放在主句之前。

①Where there is a will, there is a way. 有志者事竟成。
②Wherever there I smoke, there is a fire. 無風不起浪。

2. 另外要特別注意區(qū)分where引導的地點狀語從句與定語從句:

— Mom, what did your doctor say?
— He advised me to live _where__ the air is fresher. (2006 四川卷,23)?

2.joint

1)接頭,接縫;接合點

He suffers from arthritis in his leg joints.
他的腿有關節(jié)炎。

2)關節(jié)

The pipe was rusted at the joint.
管子的接合處生銹了。

3)聯(lián)合的,共同的

By their joint efforts they managed to complete the project on time.
他們通過共同努力總算按時完成了計劃。

4)合辦的,共有的

We have opened a joint account at the bank.
我們在銀行開了一個共有的帳戶。

3.thigh
n. 1.股,大腿 2.(昆蟲的)股節(jié);(鳥的)腿部 3.大腿骨

The large muscle at the back of the thigh that flexes the knee joint.
大腿后側使膝關節(jié)屈曲的大型肌肉。?
