In a way,in some way,这两个英文表达看起来非常接近,那么它们的意思是否也一样呢?答案是,并非如此。In a way,其英文释义为:to some extent,即:在某种程度上。而in some way,其英文意思为:by some method that you do not know or understand exactly(Macmillan);in some unspecified way or manner; or by some unspecified means(Vocabulary.com); Somehow。也就是说:通过某种你不知道、或不了解的方式。中文可以翻译为:通过(以)某种方式。
我们通过例句来比较二者的区别:I think she’s right in a way.(某种程度上而言,我觉得她是对的。)A teenager usually wants to try to get people to notice him in some way, to feel like someone gives a damn.(青少年总希望以某种方式吸引别人的注意,以获得存在感。参考链接(6))
另外,in some ways(注意way后面添加了s),则可以表示:在某些方面(in some instances)。参考例句:We’ve found out that the new model is not as good in some ways as the previous one. (我们发现这款新型号在某些方面不如旧型号。)
