这里要注意way作副词的用法。
You can use way to emphasize, for example, that something is a great distance away or is very much below or above a particular level or amount.远远地;大大地;非常
Her IQ is way above average.她的智商远远高于平均水平.
Michael was way ahead of the other runners.
You're not wearing that outfit.
注意这里用的是现在进行时态。为什么要用现在进行时？因为现在进行时可用于表达强烈的感情色彩。例如我们催促别人时常这么说：
What are we waiting for then? Let's get started.
这里用进行时表示自己的不耐烦。类似的例子还有：
I'm not having this conversaton with you.
而克莱尔说这句话就是表达自己的反对，因为女儿海莉穿着暴露。有关现在进行时的这种用法建议阅读张满胜老师的《英语语法新思维：初级教程》第八章的相关内容。
