词组 | whatever |
释义 | 1.whatever 跟 what ever 不同,参见 ever 5 2.whatever 比 whatsoever 普通。 3.Do whatever you can 里的 whatever 和 Do it,whatever happens 里的 whatever 都是关系代词,但第一句里的 whatever 是 what 的强势式,第二句里的 whatever 是表示 concession 的,有“虽然有什么”的意思,比较下面两句: Whatever he has done he repents. (他不论做了什么总要后悔。repents 是及物动词,把 whatever 里的 what 做宾语。) Whatever he has done, he repents. (他虽然做了什么,却是后悔的。[他也许做过坏事,但他能后悔,也是可取的。]repents 是不及物动词。) 4.下面两句里的关系代词 that 都该删去。 You may write about whatever subject that interests you. I shall be glad to consider whatever suggestions that you may offer. 5.下面三句都合乎习惯: Whatever the causes, a change took place. Whatever the help I have received, I am responsible for the whole work. Whatever the ultimate conclusion reached, the discussion ought to prove of great interest to all concerned. 第一句里可以在 causes 后面加上 may have been,第二句里可以在 received 后面加上 may have been,第三句里可以在 reached 后面加上 may be,但都不及原句自然。第二句里也可以把 help 前面的 the 省去,第三句里也可以把 ultimate 前的 the 省去,在 reached 前面加上 may be。 |
