however，whoever, whatever, whichever等 wh-ever词引导让步状语时，都不是连词，而是副词或代词，需要在从句中作成分的，副词要作状语，代词要作主语、宾语、表语或定语。这些词引导让步状语时，可用no matter+wh-疑问词替换，意义完全相同。

由于代词和副词都有分类名称的，如疑问代词/副词，关系代词/副词，连词代词/副词，暗示代词/副词的意义或句法功能，因此，引导让步状语的这些代词/副词既然有“无论..."这样的含义以及引导让步状语从句的句法功能，我们不妨称其为让步代词/让步副词。这样，英语学习者就知道这些词在引导让步状语从句的时候是必须在从句中作成分，就不会与though，although这样的连词引导让步状语从句时并不充当从句成分相混淆。网友的疑惑也自然不会产生了。

It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them, however terrible and unpleasant they may be. 本句中，however不但引导让步从句，同时还修饰形容词terrible和unpleasant, 为形容词的程度状语。

Whoever said that, he was lying. Whoever不带引导让步从句，同时还在从句中作主语，意为”无论谁..."。

Whatever you may say, I won't believe you. whatever不但引导让步从句，还在从句中作宾语，意为“无论什么..."。

though/although均为从属连词，不能在从句中作成分，故无法替换让步代词/副词。

despite是介词，只能后接名词结构，更不能替换让步代词/副词。

但以上三句中的however, whoever和whatever，分别可以被 no matter how, no matter who 和 no matter what所替换。意义不变。

It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them,however terrible and unpleasant they may be.

=It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them,no matter how terrible and unpleasant they may be.

参考译文：他们的责任是见证世界的恐怖并记录这些恐怖，无论它们可能是多么可怕和多么的不愉快。

以上为however+adj./adv.(形容词/副词）引导的让步状语从句。however+形容词，引导让步状语从句等于“no matter how+形容词/副词”

(1)however+adv.+主语+谓语，+主句

You can not catch up with a car however fast you run.

=You can not catch up with a car no matter how fast you run

=However fast you run, you can not catch up with a car

=No matter how fast you run,you can not catch up with a car

无论你跑得多快,也赶不上汽车.

(2)however+adj.+主语+系动词+主句

I'll come however busy I am.

=Howevery busy I am, I will come

=I will come no matter how busy I am.

我不管怎么忙都会来的.

She is willing to help you however busy she is.

=She is willing to help you no matter busy she is

无论多忙,她都愿意帮助你.

这里的however可以用althought或者despite替换吗？都是表示让步，为什么这里只可以填however呢？

——不可以用althought或者despite替换，也无法替换。一个是连词although，一个是介词despite，都无法修饰后面的形容词。

只有however可以，however 的本质是：how （多么）+ ever（无论），既表示程度，又表示让步。只有它后面才能跟形容词：however terrible and unpleasant.
