much dust into the air.
有些科学家认为恐龙灭绝是发生在一件意外事故之后,当时宇宙间一块巨石击中地球因而在空气中扬起太多的尘土。 本句中when引导定语从句,其先行词为incident。关系副词when的先行词一般是表时间的名词,如: He came last night when I was out. 但有时并不直接是表时间的名词,如:In 1921 Einstein won the Nobel Prize, and was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.
