选项 A、in the way
B、under way
C、out of the way
D、all the way
答案B
解析 此题属于语意搭配题。under way表示"在进行中"，例如：We have several projects under way．根据原文意思，标准化进程正在实行的过程中，故选项under way正确。选项in the way表示"挡道的，妨碍人的"，例如：If you’re going to help，at least don’t get in the way．选项out of the way表示"不挡道的，得到解决的"，例如：While the fight was going on，he tried to keep out of the way．选项all the way表示"一直地，完全地"，例如：I ran all the way to the office．另外与way连用的常见短语有：by the way(顺便地)；find one’s way(设法到达)；in a way(在某种程度上)；in no way(决不)；make way(让路)；one way or another(用某种方法)；give way(让步，屈服)；on the way out(即将过时的)；see one’s clear way to do/doing sth．(愿意做某事)。全句可译为：后者的情况不仅仅涉及英语。在别的一些正在进行语言标准化的国家也存在这种情况。
