老师们好,下面这个句子:
Whatever manufacturing companies survive this hell will be set to mint money.
whatever引导名词从句的时候,是可以换成anything that/which,还是any…that?根据具体语境,换成whatever后面的名词。这个句子这样理解对么?
Any manufacturing companies that survive this hell么?谢谢!
你的理解是对的。如果whatever 用作代词(其后不接被修饰的名词),它相当于anything that/which;如果whatever 用作形容词(其后接有被修饰的名词),它相当于any…that。
Whatever manufacturing companies survive this hell will be set to mint money.
=Any manufacturing companies that survive this hell will be set to mint money.
又如:
I eat whatever I want and I still don't seem to put on weight. 我想吃甚么就吃甚么,仍然不见体重有所增长。(whatever为代词,whatever=anything that…)
He'll be ready to accept whatever help he can get. 他将愿意接受能得到的任何帮助。(whatever为形容词,whatever help=any help that…)
