2 at the time引导时间状语从句

(改错)At the time the United States split off from Britain, for example, there were proposals that independence should be linguistically accepted by the use of a different language from those of Britain.

老师好,这句话是在at the time后面加when,可是time后面不是可以省略when吗?

at the time是介词短语,不是连词。如果at the time后接从句,则该从句是time的限制性定语从句, 在主句中作时间状语的仍然是一个介词短语。定语从句可用关系副词whenthat引导,也可以省略关系副词that。用when为正式语体,用that或省略that为非正式语体,尤其是省略that。语法考试通常以正式书面语为标准,所以在考试中应该采用正式语体不省略关系词,而且用when要比that正式,所以参考答案给出when

非正式语体省略that是很常见的。例如:

At the time he resigned, he mentioned a " recent personal loss. "

At the time he met The Chronicle, Lewis was living at the Zen Hospice.
