the way引導的定語從句,大家是否瞭解清楚了?以下是關於the way引導的定語從句內容,歡迎閱覽!
(一)the way作先行詞,後接定語從句
以下3種表達都是正確的。例如:“我喜歡她笑的樣子。”
1. the way+ in which +從句:I like the way in which she smiles.
2. the way+ that +從句:I like the way that she smiles.
3. the way + 從句(省略了in which或that):I like the way she smiles.
上述句子都正確,意思也完全相同。但是,the way之後用in which引導的定語從句最爲正式;省略了that或in which是最自然、最常用的表達;然而,the way之後用that引導定語從句,最不常見。
注意,在先行詞the way之後不用how。因爲引導定語從句的關係詞是that而不是how,因此,《現代英語慣用法詞典》中所給出的下面兩個句子是錯誤的:
This is the way how it happened.
This is the way how he always treats me.
(二)the way的語義
1. the way=as(像)
Please do it the way I’ve told you.請按照我告訴你的那樣做。
I'm talking to you just the way I'd talk to a boy of my own.我和你說話就像和自己孩子說話一樣。
Plant need water the way they need sun light. 植物需要水就像它們需要陽光一樣。
2. the way=how(怎樣,多麼)

He was filled with anger at the way he had been treated.他因遭受如此待遇而怒火滿腔。
That’s the way she speaks.她就是那樣講話的。
3. the way=according as (根據)

The way most people look at you, you'd think a trashman was a monster.從大多數人看你的目光中,你就知道垃圾工在他們眼裏是怪物。

例子拓展:
In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. 1770年,這間琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。
the way在句中的語法作用是什麼?其意義如何?在閱讀時,學生經常會碰到一些含有the way的句子,如:No one knows the way he invented the machine. He did not do the experiment the wayhis teacher told him.等等。他們對the way 的用法和含義比較模糊。
在這幾個句子中,the way之後的部分都是定語從句。第一句的意思是,“沒人知道他是怎樣發明這臺機器的。”the way的意思相當於how;第二句的意思是,“他沒有按照老師說的那樣做實驗。”the way 的意思相當於as。在In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted.這句話中,the way也是as的含義。隨着現代英語的發展,the way的用法已越來越普遍了。
