however的用法
(1) 表示讓步:意為“無論如何”“不管怎樣”,用來修飾形容詞或副詞,
其詞序?yàn)椋篽owever+形容詞或副詞+主語+謂語。這樣用的however其實(shí)具有連詞的功能,用以引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。如:
however much he eats, he never gets fat. 不管他吃多少,他永遠(yuǎn)吃不胖。
用于此用法時,請注意以下幾點(diǎn):
?、俅擞梅▽賖owever所有用法中最重要的考點(diǎn),同學(xué)們務(wù)請引起高度重視。
?、谶@樣用的 however 與 no matter how 大致同義。如:
People always want more, however [no matter how] rich they are. 人總是富了還想再富。
however [No matter how] hard I worked, she was never satisfied. 無論我多么努力地工作,她從來沒滿意過。
③有時從句謂語可用情態(tài)動詞。如:
Don’t laugh, however funny it may be. 無論多么有趣也不要笑。
I’ll try to finish it in time, however hard it may be. 無論多么難,我也要按時完成。
?、?ldquo;however+形容詞或副詞+主語+謂語”有時可以有所省略。如:
I refuse, however favorable the conditions. 不管條件如何有利,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. 無論房間多么小,我寧愿一個人住一間,而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(guī)則,不管如何正確,除非能懂,否則毫無用處。
(2) 表示轉(zhuǎn)折:尤其用于談及一個既成事實(shí)時,表示轉(zhuǎn)折,其意為“可是”“仍然”等??煞旁诰涫?、句中或句末,通常用逗號與句子其他成分隔開。如:
My father, however, did not agree. 但是,我父親不同意。
My room is small; however, it’s comfortable. 我的房間很小,但卻很舒服。
He said that it was so; he was mistaken, however. 他說情況如此,可是他錯了。
注:however不能像 but(但是)那樣直接連接兩個句子(注意正句中的標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號)。如:
我們都已盡了最大的努力,不過我們還是輸了。.
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.
(3) 表示驚奇或強(qiáng)調(diào):相當(dāng)于how ever的用法,其意為“究竟怎樣,到底以什么方式”。如:
however did you get here without a car? 沒有汽車你究竟是怎樣來的呢?
