【问】 They won't in any way finish it.
 根据词典的解释，in any way意为“在任何方面”。但用这一译法来翻译上面的句子似乎讲不通。
 【答】 可以把否定句中的in any way看作是否定的强化语，如同at all，in the least，by anymeans一样。这样，上面的句子便可译为：“他们无论如何也干不完这件事。”“他们绝干不完这件事。”掌握了这一点，便可很容易地理解并翻译下面的句子：
 1. I won't let him down in any way. (Galsworthy)
 无论如何我也不能让他失败。
 2. He is no match for you in any way. (London)
 他绝不是你的对手。
 in no way具有与此相似的用法：
 1. He is in no way to blame. (ALD)
 他绝不该受责备。
 2. They will in no way finish it. (CGEL)
 他们无论如何干不完这件事。
 3. They are in no way similar. (ALD)
 他们毫不相似。
 4. We can in no way allow this to continue. (Worrall)
 我们决不能让这继续下去。
 应当注意，in no way位于句首时，主语和谓语要实行部分倒装：
 In no way can theory be separated from practice.
 理论绝不能脱离实践。
