The magnetic compass somehow makes use of Earth's magnetic field, much the way a standard compass does.
这个应该不是倒装吧 因为主语已经完整了 much the way是固定搭配 像...吗?
The magnetic compass somehow makes use of Earth's magnetic field, much the way a standard compass does.
the way 后面是一个从句。the way 引导从句有两层含义:(1)as (2)how
本句是 as 的意思,引导“方式从句”,是“比较从句”的一个子类,也可笼统分析为“比较从句”:
the way a standard compass does = as a standard compass does
much the way a standard compass does = much as a standard compass does
much 是程度副词,修饰引导从句的the way。字面上是加强语气,其实是削弱了从句的程度。—— “很像”,不是“真像”。
因此,句子结构是:
主句:The magnetic compass somehow makes use of Earth's magnetic field,
方式/比较状语从句:much the way a standard compass does.
