大学英语四级语法重点-Unit 1-让步状语从句

No matter what / who / which / how / when / where / whether引导的让步状语从句：

No matter how much I tried to make things stay the same, even Jimmy grasped that the world he’d known was gone. (课文中)

No matter what he is wearing, you must serve him.

这一结构大都可以由-ever 构成的合成词代替：

Whatever（代词）he is wearing, you must serve him.

但no matter 结构只能引导让步状语从句，而-ever构成的合成词除了引导让步状语从句，还能引导主语从句、宾语从句。

Go to stamp sales and buy whatever you can afford.(引导宾语从句, 不能换成no matter what).

（课文中: Para6）He went wherever（副词）I went and seemed to adjust pretty well.

（课文中:Para12）We were reminded that the constant love and support of our friends and family would get us through whatever life might present.

However（程度副词，常与形容词和副词连用）rich people are, they always seem anxious to make more money.

However carefully you drive, you will probably have an accident eventually.

Whoever （代词）gains the most points wins the competition.

Whichever（代词）of them gains the most points wins.

Whichever (形容词) team gains….

有时whatever, wherever可以表示说话人不知情或不关心

He lives in Wick, wherever that is.（…谁知道那地方在哪儿。）

比较：

How ever：

I lost seven kilos in a month.

How ever did you lose so much in such a short time? (怎么会….?)

What ever:

What ever do you mean? (怒气冲冲地)

Where ever did you buy your wonderful carpet? (究竟在什么地方买…？)
