the way后可接how引導的定語從句嗎

請看一道題：

That is __________ the boy spoke to the teacher.

A. how                        B. the way how                 C. that                             D. which

分析：此題應選 A。容易誤選B。誤認為the way(表方式)后應接how引導的定語從句(因為how可用來表方式)。

其實考生只要回憶一下我們學過的關系副詞便知道：在現代英語中關系副詞只有when(表時間)，where(表地點)，why(表原因)等幾個，根本沒有how這個關系副詞，所以它自然就不能引導定語從句。要表示類似本題的意思，可用以下句型：

■那就是他說話的樣子。

正：That’s how he spoke. (表語從句)

正：That’s the way he spoke.

正：That’s the way (that) he spoke.

正：That’s the way (in which) he spoke.

誤：That’s the way how he spoke.

■我不喜歡他那樣笑她。

正：I don’t like the way he laughs at her.

正：I don’t like the way(that) he laughs at her.

正：I don’t like the way (in which) he laughs at her.

誤：I don’t like the way how he laughs at her.

■他同我們說話的方式值得懷疑。

正：The way he spoke to us was suspicious.

正：The way (that) he spoke to us was suspicious.

正：The way (in which) he spoke to us was suspicious.

誤：The way how he spoke to us was suspicious.
