有一读者问: 有这样一道选择题:
(1)I don't like the way_________he speaks.
A. which B. how that C. what D. \
为什么选D?
the way是in the way in which的省略结构,可看作短语从属连词,常用在非正式文体中,再如:
(2)Do it the way you were taught.
(3)They don't write songs the way they used to.
亦可用the way that,如:
(4)I don't like the way that you laugh at her.
类似的短语从属连词还有the moment, the day等,实例如:
(5)I want to see him the moment he arrives.
(6)The day he returned home, his father was already dead.
