If you had used more method, you wouldn’t have wasted so much time.
要是你安排得更有条理些,就不会浪费那么多时间了。
词义辨析:method, way
(1) method 所表示的“方法”可以指做某件事的具体步骤或程序,也可以指抽象概念“条理”
To do this, scientists have to devise methods using radar and underwater television. 为此,科学家还要设计出使用雷达和水下电视的方法。
(2) way 是个最通用最不正式的词,可以用来代替前面的任何一个词。way常出现在许多固定的词组中,是个使用非常频繁的词;在不少含有way的词组中,从理论上讲使用method,mode 或 manner 可能表意更准确些,但是那样却损害了生动性。
如:He always has his own way. 他总是随心所欲。
此句中的 way 就是 mode 或 manner 的意思,因为说的是“个人喜爱的方式方法”。另外do something in this way 中的 way 即 method 的意思,但并不用 method
