1、一道高考题引发对however用法的思考however用法详解一、考点描述however是高考英语中一个十分重要的考点,近几年来每年的各省考题均有所涉及。请看两道典型高考真题:1.Youshouldtrytogetagoodnight’ssleep_____muchworkyouhavetodo.A.howeverB.nomatterC.althoughD.whatever【分析】答案选A。however作连接副词时,与nomatterhow相当,后接形容词或副词,意为“无论……”“不管……”。句意是:不管你有多少工作要做,你都应该好好休息一
2、个晚上。2.Hetriedhisbesttosolvetheproblem,_____difficultitwas.A.howeverB.nomatterC.whateverD.although【分析】答案选A。因difficult是形容词,修饰形容词要用连接副词however(无论如何,不管多么),引导一个让步状语从句。二、用法详解不管however以何种形式出现在高考题中,它都不外乎以下两种用法。1.用作副词(1)表示让步:意为(1)“无论如何”“不管怎样”,用来修饰形容词或副词,其词序为:however+形容词或副词+主语+谓语。这样用
3、的however其实具有连词的功能,用以引导让步状语从句。如:Phonemewhenyouarrive,howeverlateitis.你到达之后就给我打电话,不论多么晚也要打。Howevermuchheeats,henevergetsfat.不管他吃多少,他永远吃不胖。Howevercolditis,healwaysgoesswimming.不管天有多冷,他都去游泳。Youwon’tmovethestone,howeverstrongyouare.不管你力气有多大,也休想搬动那块石头。Howeverfaritis,lintendtodriv
4、etheretonight不管有多远,我今晚也要开车到那儿去。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howeverfont-family:'TimesNewRoman'">②与nomatterhow大致同义。如:Peoplealwayswantmore,however[nomatterhow]richtheyare.人总是富了还想再富。However[Nomatterhow]hardIworked,shewasneversatisfied.无论我多么努力地工作,她从来没
5、满意过。③有时从句谓语可用情态动词。如:Don’tlaugh,howeverfunnyitmaybe.无论多么有趣也不要笑。I’lltrytofinishitintime,howeverharditmaybe.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:Irefuse,howeverfavorabletheconditions.不管条件如何有利,我都不干。(conditions后省去了are)I’dratherhavearoomofmyown,howeversmall(itis),thans
6、harearoom.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。Agrammarrule,howevertrue(itis),isuselessunlessitcanbeunderstood.一条语法规则,不管如何正确,除非能懂,否则毫无用处。一条语法规则,不管如何正确,除非能懂,否则毫无用处。(2)表示转折:尤其用于谈及一个既成事实时,表示转折,其意为“可是”“仍然”等。可放在句首、句中或句末,通常用逗号与句子其他成分隔开。如:Myfather,however,didnotagree.但是,我父亲不同意。Myroomis
7、small;however,it’scomfortable.我的房间很小,但却很舒服。Myroomissmall;however,it’scomfortable.Hesaidthatitwasso;hewasmistaken,however.他说情况如此,可是他错了。注:however不能像but(但是)那样直接连接两个句子(注意正句中的标点符号)注意正句中的标点符号。如:我们都已尽了最大的努力,不过我们还是输了。误:Wealltriedourbest,howeverwelostthegame.正:Wealltriedourbest,butw
