howeverwhatever的区别.ppt

However&Whatever
1
表示转折：尤其用于谈及一个既成事实时，表示转折，其意为“可是”“仍然”等。可放在句首、句中或句末，通常用逗号与句子其他成分隔开。如：
My father, however, did not agree. 但是，我父亲不同意。
My room is small; however, it’s comfortable. 我的房间很小，但却很舒服。
He said that it was so; he was mistaken, however. 他说情况如此，可是他错了。
注：however不能像 but(但是)那样直接连接两个句子(注意正句中的标点符号)。如：
我们都已尽了最大的努力，不过我们还是输了。
误：We all tried our best, however we lost the game.
正：We all tried our best, but we lost the game.
正：We all tried our best; however, we lost the game.
正：We all tried our best. however, we lost the game.
2
How ever 表示惊奇或者强调
表示惊奇或强调：相当于how ever的用法，其意为“究竟怎样，到底以什么方式”。如：
How ever did you get here without a car? 没有汽车你究竟是怎样来的呢?
How ever does he manage to write music when he is so deaf? 他聋成这个样子，究竟是怎样从事作曲的呢?
3
However有时可表达“然而”、“可是”之意，出现于句中或句尾。例：
They said that it was so；they were mistaken，however．
他们说事情就是如此，可是他们错了。
与之类似区别的词语很多，例如whatever/no matter what、whenever/no matter when、wherever/no matter where、whichever/no matter which、whoever/no matter who.

However的用法
（一）用作连接副词，相当于no matter how，引导让步状语从句，意思是“不管怎样……”“无论如何……”，具体结构有以下两种： 1．however+形容词+主语+系动词，例： However rich people are，they always seem anxious to take more money. 无论人们有多富裕，他们似乎总是渴望挣到更多的钱。 2．however+副词+主语+谓语，例： However fast he runs，he can’t catch up with us. 无论他跑得多快也不能赶上我们。

“however＋形容词或副词＋主语＋谓语”有时可以有所省略。
I refuse, however favorable the conditions. 不管条件如何有利，我都不干。(conditions后省去了are)
I’d rather have a room of my own, however small (it is), than share a room. 无论房间多么小，我宁愿一个人住一间，而不愿意与别人合住一个房间。
A grammar rule, however true (it is), is useless unless it can be understood. 一条语法规则，不管如何正确，除非能懂，否则毫无用处。

（二）用作连词，引导让步状语从句，意思是“怎么样都行”。例： In one’s own home one can acts however he wishes. 在自己家里一个人想干什么都行。
However it may be, I shall take your word. 无论如何，我将会相信你的话。
