Those who do not know a language cannot hear the way speech in that language actually sounds.

尤其是the way speech in that language actually sounds不理解是什么样的结构,谢谢老师!


教给网友最简单好用的理解方法:

1、the way作先行词,后接定语从句:

以下3 种表达都是正确的。比如:“我喜欢她笑的样子。”

1. the way+ in which +从句:I like the way in which she smiles.

2. the way+ that +从句:I like the way that she smiles.

3. the way + 从句:I like the way she smiles.

【注】网友的句子,跟句3 一致。

2、如何翻译 the way,最常见的两种办法:

1. the way = as(像...一样)

【注】the way 可以独立引导方法状语从句,跟 as 使用方法一样。

Please do it the way I’ve told you.请根据我对你说的那样做。

Im talking to you just the way Id talk to a boy of my own.我和你说话就像和自己孩子说话一样。

Plants need water the way they need sun light.植物需要水就像它们需要阳光一样。

2. the way = how(如何)

【注】the way 引导的从句,假如作宾语或表语,可以理解为“How”。网友的句子就是这个使用方法。

...cannot hear the way speech in that language actually sounds....听不到那种语言的口语是怎么样发音的。(语言有两种基本形式:speech = spoken language 口语;written language 书面语)

speech 是主语, in that language 是speech 的定语。

又如:

I want to find out the way a volcano has formed. 我想弄了解火山是如何形成的。

He was filled with anger at the way he had been treated.他因遭受这样待遇而怒火满腔。

That’sthewayshespeaks. 她就是那样讲话的。
