5. No matter

的用法

(1)no matter

是连词词组，

作“不论，

不管”解，常用于表示让步的状语从句中，

常用于下列的句型中：

No matter what (who, when, how,

where etc.) + 主句

No matter what he said (不管他说什么), I didn’t believe him.

No matter how proud he was（不管他多么骄傲）, he was afraid to face me.

No matter + whether, how many, how much, whose…

No matter how much I have to pay（无论要花多少钱）, I’ll take it.

No matter whether you have time or not（无论你是否有时间）, you must go there.

- 2 -

(2) no matter what / who / when…与what- / who- / when-…ever异同

no matter who, what, when等引导让步状语从句时，可与whoever, whatever, whenever等换用。如：

No matter who knocks(不管谁敲门), don’t open the door. = Whoever knocks, don’t open the door. No matter what problem you have（不管你有什么问题）, turn to me.

= Whatever problem you have, turn to me. 含有no matter的从句不能用作主语或宾语，而whatever…不但可以引导让步状语从句，还可引导主语从句、宾语从句。如下面句中whoever不能换为no matter who.如：

Whoever told you that was lying.

不管那话是谁对你说的，他都是在撒谎。（主语从句）

I’ll give my ticket to whoever wants it

谁愿意要我的票，我就给谁。（宾语从句）

(1) make it possible for countries and people to live…是“make+宾语+宾补”这一常见结构，it作形式宾语，形容词possible作补语，动词不定式的复合结构for countries and people to live是真正的宾语。

例如：
