Chapter 2 定语从句
2.15 关系副词有how吗？
2.15 关系副词有how吗？
我们知道，引导名词从句的连接副词有when, where, why和how四个，那么也许有读者会问：引导定语从句的关系副词有how吗？
事实上，how不可以作为表示方式的关系副词。在英语中，若要表示方式，我们用以下四种句型：
1. the way+从句
2. the way that+从句
3. the way in which+从句
4. the manner that+从句
所以我们看到，在英语中没有“the way how+从句”这样的表达。请看例句：
1 During the 1940s science and engineering had an impact on the way that music reached its audience and even influenced the way in which it was composed.
妙语点睛 这里the way的后面分别接了两个不同的关系词that和in which。
2 You know the old golden rule, “Care for others the way you would like them to care for you.”
妙语点睛 这里the way后面的关系词省去了，直接跟了从句you would like them to care for you。
3 Confidence is probably one of the most noticeable traits in the Americans. They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk.
妙语点睛 同例句2，这里the way后面的关系词省去了。
4 Social science is that branch of intellectual enquiry which seeks to study humans and their endeavors in the same reasoned, orderly, systematic, and dispassioned manner that natural scientists use for the study of natural phenomena.
妙语点睛 这是考研英语翻译真题。这里的manner等同于way，后面接了关系词that来引导定语从句。
