however的用法

用表示让步：意为“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。这样用的however其实具有连词的功能，用以引导让步状语从句。

如：

However much he eats, he never gets fat、 不管他吃多少，他永远吃不胖。

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 however 与 no matter how 大致同义。如：

People always want more, however [no matter how] rich they are、 人总是富了还想再富。

However [No matter how] hard I worked, she was never satisfied、 无论我多么努力地工作，她从来没满意过。

③有时从句谓语可用情态动词。如：

Don’t laugh, however funny it may be、 无论多么有趣也不要笑。

I’ll try to finish it in time, however hard it may be、 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：

I refuse, however favorable the conditions、 不管条件如何有利，我都不干。(conditions后省去了are)

I’d rather have a room of my own, however small (it is), than share a room、 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。

A grammar rule, however true (it is), is useless unless it can be understood、 一条语法规则，不管如何正确，除非能懂，否则毫无用处。
