the same后不仅可接that

有读者问: 有一本语法书说the same不但可后接as和that,还可后接which, who, when, where等,但未给例句,而我未见过,请举几例说明好吗?

the same后接which的情况并不罕见,因为which常可与that互换,例如:

(1)The king allowed to her the same liberty which he claimed for himself.

(2)They started out last Tuesday on the same journey which 600 years ago led to The Canterbury Tales .

和that, which相比较,who, when, where似乎用得较少。先看who (whom):

(3)He is the same man who was here yesterday.

(4)He is the same man whom we met yesterday.

以上两句中的who和whom,有人认为不及that好。再看when和where:

(5)He was born at the same time when I was.

(6)I put it back to the same place where I had found it.
