学员疑问:The dollar lost strength the way many marriages break up slowly, and then all at once. 和 Many Europeans now apparently view the U.S. the way many Americans view Mexico as a cheap place to vacation, shop and party, all while ignoring the fact that the poorer locals can't afford to join the merrymaking. 老师,两句话中的the way....做什么成分呢?
老师解答:这两个个the way在主句The dollar lost strength the way和Many Europeans now apparently view the U.S. 中都是用作方式状语;此外, the way后面跟着(省略关系词that的)定语从句,即the way (that) many marriages break up slowly, and then all at和the way (that) many Americans view Mexico as a cheap place to vacation, shop and party,而the way在定语从句中也是做方式状语。
点评分析:这里需要注意两点。一、the way(包含this way / that way / my way)名词可以直接用作方式状语,前面并不要加介词in或者with。例如:I told you we should have done it my way !(我跟你说过我们原本应该用我的方法来做这事。)二、先行词the way后面的定语从句that习惯性可以省略,虽然the way在从句中是充当状语。例如:It's not what you say, it's the way that you say it.(问题不在于你说什么,而在于你怎么说)。
