用法
When where is used to refer to a point of origin, the preposition from is required: Where did she come from? When it is used to refer to a point of destination, the preposition to is generally superfluous: Where is she going? ( preferable to Where is she going to? ). When it is used to refer to the place at which an event or a situation is located, the use of at is widely regarded as regional or colloquial: Where is the station? (not Where is the station at? ). The idiomatic phrase where it's at, widely used in the 1960's to refer to 「the current state of things,」 is now largely pass?, except when used for stylistic effect:
當where 被用來指起源方面時， 介詞from 就需要用上： 她從哪裡來? 當它被用來指目的地時，介詞to 就通常是多餘的： 她要去哪裡? ( 比起她要向哪裡去? 更可取）。 當它被用來指事件所發生的場合或一種局面形勢所處的地方時，使用at 則被廣泛認作是地區性的或口語化的： 車站在哪裡? （而不是 車站位於什麼地方? )。 慣用語短語where it's at 在20世紀60年代廣泛被用來指「事情的當前狀態」，現已很大程度上過時了， 除非當我們用它來加強文體效果：
「Generally, I knew where he was at, but couldn't always tell where he was coming from」 (Robert M. Adams).See Usage Note at why
「通常來說，我知道他在什麼地方，但我卻不總能說出他從哪裡來」 （羅伯特·M·亞當斯）參見 why
