您好
复合关系副词
例A:The old man carries an umbrella whenever he goes out for a walk.
(那个老人无论什么时间出去散步都带一把雨伞.)
例B:He makes friends wherever he goes.
This is why he is so popular.
(他无论到哪儿,朋友就交到哪儿.这就是他人缘好的原因.)
例C:However hard I work, there is more to be done.
(我无论如何努力工作,工作总是做不完.)
例D:However you come, come early.
(不管你怎么来,早到就是了.)
解说 例A的“whenever”等于“at any time then; no matter when(无论在什么时间,无论何时)”的意思.例B的“wherever”等于“at, in, to whatever place(无论在或到任何地方)”的意思.“however”在例C的意思是“in whatever degree(无论到什么程度)”,在例D的意思是“in whatever way(无论是什么方法)”.
“whenever, wherever, however”都不需先行词.
注:①“Whenever”在现代英语常用“every time/each time”来取代.
例:She bites her finger every time she is thinking about something.
(每当她在想事情时,她都会咬手指.)
例:He comes to me for advice each time he is in some trouble.
(每一次他遇到麻烦,他都来向我征求建议.)
②“Where ever”是疑问副词“Where”的强调形,不是关系副词.
Wherever there stands a pole or something like that, dogs are sure to pass water there.
(无论什么地方,只要有竖立的柱子什么的,狗狗就一定会在那里尿尿.——关系副词)
Where ever did you find it?
(你到底从哪儿找到它的?——Where的强调形)
“Where ever…?”只用在问句,同时常常是简短的单句,表示惊讶或疑惑.现代英语也常看到把“Where ever…?”写成“Wherever…?”,应该避免.
Wherever did you get this?
(你到底从哪儿弄到这个的?)
