这个问题我会,虽然本人英语口语不是很好,但是对英语四六级词汇还是很熟悉的~下面给大家从三个方面具体解释一下:
【含义】
whoever可以作为引导让步状语从句的连接代词,
而no matter who不能。
Whoever可引导名词性从句,在从句中可用作主语或宾语。
【用法】
whoever和no matter who都是无论谁,不管谁的意思。
但whoever可以作为引导让步状语从句的连接代词,而no matter who不能。
whoever和no matter who是疑问词+ever和no matter+疑问词中的一个特例,这类词的主要区别是:
①疑问词+ever可引导名词性从句,在主从句中要充当一定的部分。如:
Whoever breaks the rule must be punished. You can choose whatever you like in the shop.
②疑问词+ever还可引导让步状语从句。如:Whoever breaks the rule,he must be punished, Whatever you do,you must do it well.
③no matter+疑问词只能引导让步状语从句。如:No matter what you do, you must do it well. No matter who breaks the rule, he must be punished.
no matter who通常只能引导状语从句,而不能引导名词性从句。而whoever 既可引导名词性从句(=anyone that)也可引导状语从句(=no matter who):
1.引导名词性从句(只用whoever):
谁想去我就带谁去。
正:I’ll take whoever wants to go.
误:I’ll take no matter who wants to go.
谁赢了都可以获奖。
正:Whoever wins gets a prize.
误:No matter who wins gets a prize.
不管这话是谁对你说的,他都是在撒谎。
正:Whoever told you that was lying.
误:No matter who told you that was lying.
2.引导状语从句(两者可换用):
不管是谁打电话来,都说我出去了。
正:Whoever phones,tell them I’m out.
正:No matter who phones,tell them I’m out.
不管是谁这样说,那都是错的。
正:Whoever says so,it is wrong.
正:No matter who says so,it is wrong.
【例句】
Send it to whoever is in charge of sales.
把这寄给负责销售的人。
Whoever made this cake is a real artist.
制作这个蛋糕的人真是个艺术大师。
Don't open the door, no matter who calls!
不管谁叫门,都不要开!
No matter who may say so, it is not true.
不管谁这样说都不是真的。
