VOA:
We actually have unfortunately you know a racist and sexist labor market in the United States and we should use whatever policy tools that
we have in order to correct that problem. But not everyone agrees.
麻烦老师讲解一下这句中的whatever用法,可否看作形容词修饰policy tools ?这里可以和what换用吗?
we should use whatever policy tools that we have in order to correct that problem
这个句子是个语法错误的句子。不要以为VOA中没有错误。
whatever为融合型关系限定词,即 whatever= any... that 限定词和any与关系代词that融为一体。所以whatever policy tools = any policy tools that. whatever已经含有关系代词在内,再加关系代词that就是错误了。
所以VOA这个句子要么删去关系代词that,要么把whatever改为any。
we should use whatever policy tools that we have in order to correct that problem 错误
we should use any policy tools that we have in order to correct that problem 正确
we should use whatever policy tools we have in order to correct that problem 正确
