如:
However much he eats, he never gets fat. 不管他吃多少,他永远吃不胖。
用于此用法时,请注意以下几点:
①此用法属however所有用法中最重要的`考点,同学们务请引起高度重视。
②这样用的 however 与 no matter how 大致同义。如:
People always want more, however [no matter how] rich they are. 人总是富了还想再富。
However [No matter how] hard I worked, she was never satisfied. 无论我多么努力地工作,她从来没满意过。
③有时从句谓语可用情态动词。如:
Don’t laugh, however funny it may be. 无论多么有趣也不要笑。
I’ll try to finish it in time, however hard it may be. 无论多么难,我也要按时完成。
④“however+形容词或副词+主语+谓语”有时可以有所省略。如:
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。
