the way引导的定语从句,大家是否了解清楚了?以下是关于the way引导的定语从句内容,欢迎阅览!

the way引导的定语从句

  (一)the way作先行词,后接定语从句

以下3种表达都是正确的。例如:“我喜欢她笑的样子。”

1. the way+ in which +从句:I like the way in which she smiles.

2. the way+ that +从句:I like the way that she smiles.

3. the way + 从句(省略了in which或that):I like the way she smiles.

上述句子都正确,意思也完全相同。但是,the way之后用in which引导的定语从句最为正式;省略了that或in which是最自然、最常用的表达;然而,the way之后用that引导定语从句,最不常见。

注意,在先行词the way之后不用how。因为引导定语从句的关系词是that而不是how,因此,《现代英语惯用法词典》中所给出的下面两个句子是错误的:

This is the way how it happened.

This is the way how he always treats me.

  (二)the way的语义

  1. the way=as(像)

Please do it the way I’ve told you.请按照我告诉你的那样做。

I'm talking to you just the way I'd talk to a boy of my own.我和你说话就像和自己孩子说话一样。

Plant need water the way they need sun light. 植物需要水就像它们需要阳光一样。

  2. the way=how(怎样,多么)

No one can imagine the way he misses her.没人能够想象出他是多么想念她!

I want to find out the way a volcano has formed.我想弄清楚火山是怎样形成的。

He was filled with anger at the way he had been treated.他因遭受如此待遇而怒火满腔。

That’s the way she speaks.她就是那样讲话的。

  3. the way=according as (根据)

The way you answer the questions, you must be an excellent student.从你回答问题来看,你一定是名优秀的`学生。

The way most people look at you, you'd think a trashman was a monster.从大多数人看你的目光中,你就知道垃圾工在他们眼里是怪物。

The way I look at it, it’s not what you do that matters so much.依我看,重要的并不是你做什么。

The boy must be a stranger here, the way he looks into the shop windows.根据男孩向商店橱窗张望德样子,看来他一定是这里的陌生人。

   way=because(因为)

How silly she is, the way she asks questions about this and that!她不断地问这问那,显得好不愚蠢!

5. the way=that(引导名词性从句)

It was shameful the way she was treated. 她竟然受到那样的对待,太不象话了。

It's a crime the way he bullies his children. 像他那样欺负自己的孩子真缺德。

  例子拓展:

In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. 1770年,这间琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。

the way在句中的语法作用是什么?其意义如何?在阅读时,学生经常会碰到一些含有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。他们对the way 的用法和含义比较模糊。

在这几个句子中,the way之后的部分都是定语从句。第一句的意思是,“没人知道他是怎样发明这台机器的。”the way的意思相当于how;第二句的意思是,“他没有按照老师说的那样做实验。”the way 的意思相当于as。在In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted.这句话中,the way也是as的含义。随着现代英语的发展,the way的用法已越来越普遍了。
