| 词组 | way |
| 释义 | 1．way（方法）后面接不定式或 of 和动名词都可以。例如：That is the best way to do it. 和 That is the best way of doing it. 2．下面每组里的两句意思相同： 3．下面五句里的 this way，that way，which way，your own way 和 his way 的前面习惯没有 in： Please come this way. They went that way. Which way do they look? You may do it your own way. Opportunity came his way more than once. the hard way（艰苦地、不容易地）前面也没有 in。例如： His parents helped him to learn self-reliance the hard way. English spelling, I am afraid, has to be learnt the hard way. 下面每组里的三句意思相同。第一句最普通，第三句最不普通： 下面一句里的 the way 前面的 in 和后面的 in which 都可有可无，通常没有。例如： He does not bother about things (in) the way (in which) his brother does. 4．注意下面各句的意思： I might have been his son(,) the way he talked. （他［跟我］那样说话，好像我是他的儿子［他像父亲教训儿子般地跟我说话］。） One would think these men owned the earth(,) the way they behave. （他们这样行动，人家竟会以为他们是地球的主人［他们做出不可一世的样子］。） How silly she is(,) the way she keeps asking questions about this and that! （她不断地问这个，问那个，好不愚笨！） The boy must be a stranger here(,) the way he looks into the shop windows. （这男孩那样地望着店铺的橱窗里面，看来他一定是第一次来这里。） The way you work, you must be a very skilful carpenter. （看你的工作方法，你一定是一个很有技术的木匠。） 5．by the way，in the way，on the way 和 in a way 各种表达方式不同，下面几点该注意： （1）by the way 有两个意思：“顺便说”和“在途中”。在第一个意思里跟 by the bye 或 incidentally 相同，在口语里很常用。例如：By the way, have you ever seen a lion? 和 By the way, your cousin told me about it some time ago. 在第二个意思里跟 on the way 相同。 （2）in the way 单独用作“妨碍人的”或“引起不便的”解。例如：I'm afraid I'm in the way. 后面接不定式作“很有……的希望的”解。例如：You are in the way to master the language in a year or two. （3）on the way 作“在路程中的（或地）”解。例如：They are now on the way to the capital. 和 He met her on the way. （4）in a way 作“有一些地”解。例如：This is in a way better than that. 和 He is in a way proud of it. 6．by way of 有四个意思：1．“取道……”。2．“以作……”。3．“以……为目的”。4．“做出……的样子”。例如： She travelled there and back by way of China and Russia. I write these words by way of introduction. （我写这些文字以作介绍。） We must number all the items by way of distinguishing them. （我们必须把各个项目编号，使它们区别开来。） He is by way of paying particular attention. （他在做出特别注意的样子。） I am by way of being a musician. （我也算一个音乐家。） 下面几点该注意： （1）用在第二个意思里，by way of 后面通常接抽象名词，如 commemoration，criticism，disguise，precaution，recognition 和 reply。假使后面接类名词，可以有 a（或 an），也可以没有 a（或 an）。例如： By way of (a) joke the farmer told him to plant his money in the ground. She tuned her lute, and by way (a) prelude played a gay little tune. （2）第四个意思主要用在英国。 （3）I am by way of being a musician 比 I am a musician 婉转。要是说 He is by way of being a musician，便有轻视那个人的意思。 7．下面两句里都有介词 to＋动名词，把 becoming 改作 become 和把 mastering 改作 master 也可以，但不很普通： He is on his way to becoming a journalist. She is well on the way to mastering English. 这两句里的 to 改作 towards 也可以，但不及用 to 普通。 8．下面两句意思相同： The book is good in more than one way. The book is good in more ways than one. 9．关于 see one's way (clear) to...(ing)，参见 see 6 10．way above，way ahead，way back，way behind，way below，way down，way off，way out west 等表达方式都是美国英语，way 作 away 解。 11．a long ways from，a good ways apart 等表达方式在英国是方言，但在美国可说是正常的英语。 W.
