Reading 难句解析

We'll live with the local people in their villages, and eat and drink whatever they do, including cow's blood!

我们将和当地人一起生活，像他们一样饮食，包括喝牛血。

【分析讲解】这是一个主从复合句，句中的live，eat 和 drink是三个并列的动作，而whatever they do为宾语从句，作eat and drink的宾语。其中，whatever是代词，意为"无论什么"，在宾语从句中作do的宾语。例如：

I like whatever you give me.

凡是你给我的东西我都喜欢。

另外，whatever还可以引导状语从句，此时，可用no matter what替换whatever。例如：

Whatever his father says, he dare not say "no".

No matter what his father says, he dare not say "no".
