345. The official dismissed my objection, saying that there was no way Germany was going to offer these people citizenship.

译文　那个官员对我的异议不屑一顾，并且说德国绝对不会给予这些人合法的公民身份。

点睛　本句的主干是The official dismissed...objection，后面saying引导的现在分词复合结构作伴随状语。dismiss原意为“解散，解雇，开除”。如：The class dismissed.（下课啦。）本句中意为“驳回，不予受理”。objection在句中意为“反对，异议”。如：make an objection to（对……表示反对）。

考点归纳　no way意为“不行，绝不可能”，带有比较决绝的口吻。与此短语近义的还有：by no means (of)、in no way、under no circumstances、in no case等。大多数情况下这些短语要放在句首，而且句子需要倒装，将助动词提前。如：

By no means will I trust him ever again. 我再也不相信他了。

In no way can theory be separated from practice. 理论决不能脱离实践。

Under no circumstances will he succeed with such an attitude. 以他的这种态度是绝不可能成功的。

In no case should the shipping marks be mixed up. 发货标记绝不能弄混。
