We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain marterial.
可以替换成： We like them in the same way as we like pretty curtain material.
原句中的“in the same way that”和替换后的“in the same way as”都是用来比较两种不同事物或行为的喜好程度或方式，表达的意思是一样的。这两种表达方式都正确，而且含义相同，都是在说“我们喜欢它们的方式和我们喜欢漂亮的窗帘材料的方式相同”。
在这个句子中，“as”是一个关联词（conjunction），用于引导一个方式状语从句。它在这里起到的作用是比较两种情况或事物，在句子“We like them in the same way as we like pretty curtain material.”中，它连接了两个部分，即“we like them”和“we like pretty curtain material”，用来表示这两种喜好方式是相同的。
在这种用法中，“as”有时也可以被理解为一种比较级的连接词，用来指出两者在某种特定方面的相似性或等同性。这里的“as”所引导的从句（“we like pretty curtain material”）充当整个句子的方式状语，说明了“like”的方式或程度。
The Best Art Critics[^4]
I'm an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is "about". Of course, many pictures are not "about" anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that[^1] we like pretty curtain[^5] material[^2]. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm hanging[^3] this picture on the wall," I answered, "It's a new one. Do you like it?"
She looked at it critically for a moment. "It's all right," she said, "but isn't it upside down?"
I looked at it again. She was right! It was!
