严格的来说,the
way不能用作任何从句,因为way是一个名词,只有连词才能引导从句,只是从形式上把the
way之后的连词省列后,the
way看起来成了连词。
这两个句子the
way
之后接的都是
定语从句。请看补充好的句子:
I
was
never
allowed
to
do
things
(in)
the
way
in
which
I
wanted
(to
do
things).
(介词之后的which不能换成that,
which也不能省略)
或:I
was
never
allowed
to
do
things
(in)
the
way
that/which
I
wanted
(to
do
things
in).
that
/which在定语从句中作宾语,可以省列。
He
was
looking
at
her
in
a
way
that
surprised
her.该句中that
引出的是定语从句。that做主语。
way作“方法”解释时,前面的介词In很多时候都可以省列。
请看这两个句子:
Every
time
I
saw
him,
I
want
to
beat
him.
She
fell
in
love
with
him
the
moment
she
saw
him.
在上面两句中的every
time,
the
moment
和the
way
是一样的,都是名词,很多书上都把他们当做连词,我想可能是这些名词之后的连词经常省略的缘故,人们就把他们当成了连词。其实,从根本上讲还是连词的省略。
个人觉得,你不必太过深究,因为对于某些看法大家的观点并不完全一致。重要的是灵活的理解。
