2022年12月英语六级语法用法辨析之“Way”短语讲解

高三课文中有这样一句话：“Silk from China found its way over land along the Silk Road to India, the Middle East and Rome...”，句中“find its way ”表示“to reach someplace by discovering the right way to get there”。这里运用了拟人手法。把silk比拟做有思想的人，主动地寻找自己的路线，显得生动有活力。全句可译为: “中国的丝绸沿着丝绸之路到达印度﹑中东和罗马……”。英语中有许多含有way的短语，生动形象，意味深长，具有汉语达不到的效果，值得品味：
