例如：

③表示“与…一致”：

2. agree to

①主要用来表示一方提出一项建议、安排、计划等，另一方同意协作：

有时 agree to 也可用来表示“答应”一件自己不愿做的事：

②后接 suggestion, plan, proposal 等名词时，与 accept 同义：

Do you think he will agree to (=accept) my suggestion?

你认为他会同意 (接受)我的建议吗?

③其后既可接动词原形 (此时to是不定式符号)，也可接动名词 (一般有逻辑主语，此时 to是介词)：

4. 两点用法说明：

(1) 后接表示人的名词或代词时，一般只用 agree with。

(2) agree 不能接不定式的复合结构，所以汉语的“同意某人做某事”，不能直译为 agree sb to do sth, 而应根据情况改用其它结构：

他们同意我去。

正：They agreed to let me go.

正：They agreed to my going.

新课标人教版必修二第1单元Reading中，有这样一个句子：In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. 1770年，这间琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。

the way在句中的语法作用是什么？其意义如何？在阅读时，学生经常会碰到一些含有the way的句子，如：No one knows the way he invented the machine. He did not do the experiment the way his teacher told him.等等。他们对the way 的用法和含义比较模糊。

在这几个句子中，the way之后的部分都是定语从句。第一句的意思是，“没人知道他是怎样发明这台机器的。”the way的意思相当于how；第二句的意思是，“他没有按照老师说的那样做实验。”the way 的意思相当于as。在In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted.这句话中，the way也是as的含义。随着现代英语的发展，the way的用法已越来越普遍了。下面，我们从the way的语法作用和意义等方面做一考查和分析：

（一）the way作先行词，后接定语从句

以下3种表达都是正确的。例如：“我喜欢她笑的样子。”

1. the way+ in which +从句

I like the way in which she smiles.

2. the way+ that +从句

I like the way that she smiles.

3. the way + 从句(省略了in which或that)

I like the way she smiles.

又如：“火灾如何发生的，有好几种说法。”

1. There were several theories about the way in which the fire started.

2. There were several theories about the way that the fire started.

3. There were several theories about the way the fire started.

上述句子都正确，意思也完全相同。但是，the way之后用in which引导的定语从句最为正式；省略了that或in which是最自然、最常用的表达；然而，the way之后用that引导定语从句，最不常见。

注意，在先行词the way之后不用how。因为引导定语从句的关系词是that而不是how,因此，《现代英语惯用法词典》中所给出的下面两个句子是错误的：

This is the way how it happened.

This is the way how he always treats me.

（二）the way在句中的语法作用

the way在句中可以作主语、宾语或表语：

1.作主语

The way you are doing it is completely crazy.你这个干法简直发疯。

The way she puts on that accent really irritates me. 她故意操那种口音的样子实在令我恼火。

The way she behaved towards him was utterly ruthless. 她对待他真是无情至极。

Words are important, but the way a person stands, folds his or her arms or moves his or her hands can also give us information about his or her feelings. 言语固然重要,但人的站姿,抱臂的方式和手势也回告诉我们他(她)的情感。

2.作宾语

I hate the way she stared at me.我讨厌她盯我看的样子。

We like the way that her hair hangs down.我们喜欢她的头发笔直地垂下来。

You could tell she was foreign by the way she was dressed. 从她的穿著就可以看出她是外国人。

She could not hide her amusement at the way he was dancing. 她见他跳舞的姿势，忍俊不禁。

3.作表语

This is the way the accident happened.这就是事故如何发生的。

Believe it or not, that's the way it is. 信不信由你, 反正事情就是这样。

That's the way I look at it, too. 我也是这么想。

That was the way minority nationalities were treated in old China. 那就是少数民族在旧中国如何被对待的情况。

（三）the way的语义

1. the way=as（像）

Please do it the way I’ve told you.请按照我告诉你的那样做。

I'm talking to you just the way I'd talk to a boy of my own.我和你说话就像和自己孩子说话一样。

2. the way=how（怎样，多么）

That’s the way she speaks.她就是那样讲话的。

3. the way=according as （根据）

The way most people look at you, you'd think a trashman was a monster.从大多数人看你的目光中,你就知道垃圾工在他们眼里是怪物。

4.the way=because（因为）

No wonder that girl looks down upon me, the way you encourage her.难怪那个女孩看不起我, 原来是你怂恿的。

How silly she is, the way she asks questions about this and that!她不断地问这问那，显得好不愚蠢！

5. the way=that（引导名词性从句）

It was shameful the way she was treated. 她竟然受到那样的对待，太不象话了。
