she was increasingly unhappy with the way the work had declined with each subsequent edition.
这里的the way,应该理解为,“她对作品衰落的方式不满意”,还是“她对作品衰落这一方式不满意”?
the way 是后面句子“the work had declined”的同位成分,还是代表“the work had declined”的方式?
希望解答,谢谢老师。
the work had declined...是定语从句。先行词是the way,定语从句要用that(可省略)或in which来引导。在the way后面接定语从句时,关系词若在从句中作状语,相当于“以这种方式 / 方法 (= in this way)”,通常不用关系词,偶尔也用that,在较正式的文体里才用in which来引导。例如:
I was impressed by the way (that/in which) she did it. 她干成这件事的方式给我留下了深刻的印象。
▲《牛津英语用法指南》指出:
the way常可用来代替非疑问词how。请注意:the way和how不能同时使用。
Look at the way those cats wash each other.或Look at how those cats...(不能说:...the way how those cats wash)
The way you organise the work is for you to decide.或How you organise...(不能说:The way how you organise...)
