词组 | what ever/whatever |
释义 | what ever/whatever 【问】 what ever与whatever有无区别? 【答】 在what ever,who ever,how ever,why ever,when ever,where ever等组合中,ever是个副词,用于加强语气,它的意思相当于非正式语体的on earth,可以译为“到底”,“究竟”。 1. Who ever heard of such a silly idea? (Eckersley) 究竟有谁听说过这样愚蠢的想法呢? 2. I can't imagine who ever would marry him. (CGEL) 我想像不出到底谁会嫁给他。 3. What ever shall we do? (Wood) 我们到底应该做什么呢? 4.

When ever will I have time to write some letters? 我究竟什么时候能有时间写几封信呢? 写成一个词的whatever,whoever,however,whyever,whenever和wherever与上面的组合具有完全不同的意义和用法,见whatever。 赵振才 编著.英语常见问题解答大词典.哈尔滨:黑龙江人民出版社.1998.第1288页. |
