三、让步状语从句
1. Whatever (whoever, whichever, whenever, wherever,however...) 与no matter what (who, which, when, where, how...) 都可引导让步状语从句,意义无差异,意为: "无论......"
在引导名词性从句时只能疑问词+ever, 引导让步状语从句时疑问词+ever与 no matter +疑问词两者均可。(名词性从句:主语/宾语/表语/同位语从句)
①Whoever (=No matter who) wants to speak to me on the phone, tell him I'm busy. 不管谁打电话给我, 就说我现在正忙着呢。
②However(=No matter how) difficult the task is, I can finish it on time.
★③Whoever will be in charge of the project(主语从句) hasn't been decided yet. 谁来负责这项工程还没有决定。
2.as/though 虽然,尽管, 引导让步状语从句时常用部分倒装语序,表示强调。其倒装形式的基本结构为: 名词/动词/形容词/副词+ as /though+ 主谓结构。倒装时若名词前有冠词, 冠词要省去。
★①Child as/though he is ,he knows a lot.=Although/Though he is a child, he knows a lot 尽管他是个孩子,但他懂的很多。
②Call as/though you may, he will not come.
即使你给他打电话, 他也不会来。
