状语从句：请问这句话是不是有省略?请帮忙分析句子成分,
There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters,and we recognized one another's handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.
答
（There be 句型）There was （系动词）a time （主语）when（when引导的定语从句,修饰time） our workdays were filled with little letters,and we recognized one another's handwriting(此处相当于省略了by) the way(by the way方式状语) we knew voices or faces（定语从句,修饰way）.
