请帮我解释下面句子中where的用法意思
"Apple is breaking the rules in terms of its pricing model," he told the reporters by telephone."It's doing what luxury brands do,where the higher price the brand is,the more it seems to underpin and reinforce the desire."
主要是后半句

答案

你的问题很容易理解.where其实就是in the place in which / where.看以下例子
1 In the place in which there are people,there are many kinds of them.再把它们合并起来,in the place in which太繁琐了,变成WHERE,就成了
Where there are people,there are many kinds of them.现在回到你的句子的后半部分,我把它分开,就成了：
1 in the place in which 2 if / when the brand is higher price,it seems to underpin and reinforce trhe desire more.(翻译：当名牌的价格更高的时候,反而会强化追求名牌的***).现在你来把分开的句子再合并起来,这样就不难理解句子的意思了.
