ways后面所跟的定语从句是固定用法,可以理解为一个词组的倒置,“in the way of...”“用...的方法”的意思。你问的都是接从句的连词,of which是指表示从属关系的从句,to which可以理解成“对。。。来说”的意思。其实用什么连词主要是看前面修饰的词。
那句话的意思可以翻译为:我想要找到能够彼此沟通的方法。
不知道我解释清楚了木有,希望对你有帮助哈。
which 指的是 前面的 ways.
In (this) way they might communicate with each other better.
In 某种 way 意为 用/通过 某种 方式。
of which和to which是需要看前后文的,习惯搭配之类的。
An incredible map of which countries emails each other. (a map of countries...)
Sharing the music track to which you're listening. (Listen to music track)
in which 指的是in ways,采用这些方法------
of which,to which主要看先行词,如this is the place in which he lives.因为Live是不及物动词,所以要加in,即lives in the place,当然可以用另一种说法,this is the place where he lives.这里面where= in which,因为where是副词,所以不能说live in where
这里的in which 相当于in the way,介词不能乱用,which 前的介词有时候是定语从句中动词短语的介词,如,This is the story of which he often hears.
在这一句中,ways 作为后面从句中的状语,即 they might communicate with each other 这一句中作状语。所以如果将从句补充完整为 they might communicate with each other in ways ... 所以 in 是必须的,转为定语从句时将 in 提到前面。
