含义不同。In the way意思是挡路;妨碍。例如Her social life got in the way of her studies。她的社会活动妨碍了她的学习。In a way是“某个方面”,“在某种意义上”。例如In a way,he was right。在某个意义上说,他是对的。
in the way后面不直接接宾语,经常用在句末,作状语。
例句:If there is a stonein the way, you have to take it away.
如果前方有一块石头挡道,你要把它搬走。
语法结构:If引导状语从句,a stone是主语,is there是系表型谓语(系动词is+表语there),in the way作状语, you是主语,have to take是谓语,it是宾语,away是宾补。
表示“挡在路上”,有挡道、妨碍的意味。
例句:"You're standing in the way," she said. "Would you mind moving aside"
“你挡着道了,”她说,“麻烦你让一下。”
