急求各位英语高手帮忙解答下这句英语

我现在正在学新概念英语第二册77课这篇课文，其中有一句我不怎么理解，所以在这里求求大家帮忙解答下。The only way to do this was to operate.这句话书上翻译为， 搞清的唯一办法就是手术。 如果不看翻译我真的不知道怎么翻译。way to do是不是做什么事情方法，this was to operate.我不知道又该怎么理解

Answer 1

你断错了，应该是这样分的：
The only way (to do this) was to operate.

Answer 2

同意一楼~to do this 用来修饰way的~~这句话的主干是“te way was to operate.”

Answer 3

The (only) way (to do this) was to operate

主干是： the way was to operate （the way是主语，主语不是this哦）

同意上面观点
