adj. 有利的,赞许的,良好的,顺利的,偏袒的
(3) 表示惊奇或强调:相当于how ever的用法,其意为“究竟怎样,到底以什么方式”。如:
However did you get here without a car? 没有汽车你究竟是怎样来的呢?
However does he manage to write music when he is so deaf? 他聋成这个样子,究竟是怎样从事作曲的呢?
2. 用作连词
用作连词,引导方式状语从句,表示“无论以何种方式”“不管怎样”。如:
However it may be, I shall take your word. 无论如何,我将会相信你的话。
However I approached the problem, I couldn’t find a solution. 这一问题我不管怎样都无法解决。
However you travel, it’ll take you at least two days. 无论你怎么个走法,至少要两天时间。
The painting looks wrong however you look at it. 这张画不论怎么看都显得不对劲。
三、however命题切入点分析
高考以however切入命题的可能性主要有两个方面:
1. 直接考查however的用法
如考查其句型结构(尤其是词序),考查它与其他相似词语whatever, whenever, wherever, whichever, whoever等在用法和意义上的区别。如:
(1) _____ rich one may be there is always something one wants.
A. Whatever B. Whenever C. However D. Wherever
【分析】答案选C。however 用于修饰形容词rich,在意义上相当于no matter how。
(2) We should report any incident, _____.
A. however serious or minor it is B. how serious or minor is it
C. it is how serious or minor D. it is however serious or minor
【分析】答案选A。however 引导让步状语从句时的语序为“however+形容词或副词+主语+谓语”。
(3) _____ I say, he always disagrees.
A. However B. Whatever C. Whichever D. Whoever
【分析】答案选B。whatever 在此用作动词say的宾语,在意义上相当于 no matter what。
(4) _____ she goes, there are crowds of people waiting to see her.
A. Wherever B. However C. Whichever D. Whoever
【分析】答案选A。根据句意可知,说话者强调的是地点,故用wherever。
2. 用however作为干扰项进行考查。如:
An awful accident _____, however, occur the other day.
A. does B. did C. has to D. had to
【分析】此题正确答案应选B,句末的 the other day 意为“前几天”,所以句子应用过去时态,而选项D不合题意,故选B。此句有两个难点:一是句中插有 however 一词,分散了同学们的注意力;二是所填选项B为许多同学所不熟悉的强调用法。
