way1

He hated the way she talked. 在定语从句 she talked 中省略了什么成分?

way 之后跟有定语从句,而 way 在其中充当状语时,共有三种表达方式:(A)the way,

(B) the way that, (C) the way in which。即

I don't like the way {he talks.that he talks.in which he talks.\left\{ \begin{array}{l} \text{he talks.} \\ \text{that he talks.} \\ \text{in which he talks.} \end{array} \right.

最常见的表达方式是(A):

  1. That's the way she spoke. (CGEL) 那就是她说话的方式。

  2. He doesn't speak the way I do. (LDCE) 他说话方式不像我。

  3. People liked the way he wrote and so he went on writing. (Walpole) 人们喜欢他的写作方式,所以他继续写。

  4. They didn't do it the way we do now. (Hill) 他们没有用我们现在的方式来做那件事。

  5. The way she spoke hurt me. 她说话的方式刺伤了我。

  6. No one... can understand the way I miss Dave. (F. Buldwin) 没有人能理解我是怎样地想念戴夫。

偶尔也采用表达方式(B)(the way that):

  1. That's the way that he did it. (CGEL) 那就是他做这件事用的手段。

  2. I don't like the way that you laugh at her. (LDCE) 我不喜欢你那样嘲笑她。

  3. They didn't do it the way that we do now. (Hill) 他们没有用我们现在用的方式来做那件事。

表达方式(C)大都用在较正式语体里:

  1. She was pleased with the way in which he had accepted her criticism. (Bennet) 她对他接受她的批评的方式很高兴。

  2. We admired him for the way in which he faces his difficulties. (Worrall) 我们因他对待困难的方式而敬佩他。

  3. What's the right way in which to address the Queen? (LDCE) 怎样称呼女王是正确的?

  4. One's character is defined by the way in which the rules are embodied in one's behavior. 一个人的个性可由他行为中体现的准则来表示。

way2

有一道考试题:The way ____ which he solved the problem remains a secret. (A) through (B) in (C) by (D) for

答案为 C(by),但是下列句子却用的是 in which:

What's the right way in which to address the Queen? (LDCE)

王岷源教授在《英语世界》1994年第5期答问栏中回答上述问题时说:“两个句子的情形不完全一样,试题的句子中的way指具体的办法、方法、手段,用它来解决问题,用by较好。Longman Dict.的句子中的way指的是较抽象的做法——如何称呼女王为宜:in what way较好。”请问您对此有何看法?

我们对此持有不同的看法。就我们掌握的材料来看,不管 way 是指具体的办法、方法、手段,还是指较抽象的做法,很少使用 the way by which,而大都使用 the way in whichthe way that 或者 the way(零关系代词)。例如,下面各句中 way 有的是指“具体的办法、方法、手段”,但其定语从句用的也是 in which,而不是 by which

  1. The way in which you answered the questions was admirable. (EGS) 你回答问题的方法令人敬佩。

  2. That's the way in which he did it. (CGEL) 那就是他做这件事用的手段。

  3. The specific way in which analgesics take effect has not yet been ascertained. A. place B. moment C. manner D. condition(TOEFL)

  4. The principal speakers atA\frac{\text{at}}{\text{A}} the news conference agreed thatB\frac{\text{that}}{\text{B}} the ways in which television can educate a person isCalmostD\frac{\text{is}}{\text{C}}\frac{\text{almost}}{\text{D}} infinite. (TOEFL) (应把 is 改为 are)

in any way/in no way 1612

上句中的 in which 显然是指具体的方法、手段。

关于这个问题我们曾询问过几位美籍教师,除一位说“The way by which...is acceptable, but not preferred. 之外,其余都说“not acceptable”。
