whatever類詞語的詳解用法 本文所說的whatever類詞主要包括whatever, whoever, whichever, whenever, wherever, however等。 一、用于引導狀語從句 它們都可用來引導狀語從句(讓步狀語從句),其大意為“無論什么(是誰、哪一個、什么時候、什么地方、如何)”等,相當于英語中的 no matter what (who, which, when, where, how)。如: Whatever [No matter what] you say, I believe you. 無論你說什么,我都相信你。 Whoever [No matter who] telephones, tell them I’m out. 不管是誰打電話,,都說我出去了。 Whichever [No matter which] day you come, I’ll be pleased to see you. 無論你哪天來,我都歡迎。 Whenever [No matter when] you come, you are welcome. 你什么時候來,我們都歡迎。 We found the people friendly wherever [no matter where] we went. 無論我們走到哪里,我們都發現人們很友好。 However [No matter how] much he eats, he never gets fat. 無論他吃多少,他都不發胖。 Phone me when you arrive, however late it is. 你到達之后就給我打電話,不論多么晚也要打。 【三點補充說明】 1. 有時從句謂語可用情態動詞。如: 無論他在哪里,我都要找到他。 正:I’ll find him, wherever he is. 正:I’ll find him, wherever he may be. 無論發生什么事都要保持冷靜。 正:Keep calm, whatever happens. 正:Keep calm, whatever may happen. 2. whoever 的賓格也是 whoever, 而不是 whomever, 后者在現代英語已基本不用,有的詞典已不收錄此詞。如: Whoever you marry, make sure he can cook. 不管你跟誰結婚,他一定要會做飯才行。 3.有時可省略從句中的動詞be。如: The building must be saved, whatever the cost (is). 一定要挽救這座建筑,不管花多大代價。 Whatever your argument (is), I shall hold to my decision. 不管你有什么理由,我都堅持我的決定。 I refuse, however favorable the conditions (are). 不管條件如何有利,我都不干。 4.有時可省略從句中的動詞be及其相應的主語。如: I’d rather have a room of my own, however small (it is), than share a room. 無論房間多么小,我寧愿一個人住一間,也不愿意與別人合住一個房間。 A grammar rule, however true (it is), is useless unless it can be understood. 一條語法規則,不管如何正確,除非能懂,否則毫無用處。 |
