约翰认为玛丽本应该怎样处理锅里的一团糟？

[用法分析] 本句中should have done属于“情态动词＋have＋过去分词”结构。should have done在语义上相当于ought to have done，表示过去本来应该做某事而实际上却没有做；shouldn't have done表示过去本来不应该做某事而实际上却做了。这一用法往往含有责备的意味。

[用法分析] whenever引导了一个让步状语从句，意为“不管何时；无论什么时候”，相当于no matter when。

归纳拓展

however，whatever，whichever，whoever等也可引导让步状语从句，相当于no matter...

However/No matter how

cold it is, he always goes swimming. 无论天气多冷，他总是去游泳。

“wh－ever类词”还可以引导主语从句、宾语从句和表语从句，而”no matter＋wh－类词”

则不可以。

eg, Whoever comes will be welcome. 不管谁来都会受到欢迎。
