whatever引導(dǎo)主語(yǔ)從句時(shí),意義相當(dāng)于anything that,通常譯為“……任何東西(一切事情)”“……所……的一切(所有)”“無(wú)論什么……都”。如:
Whatever she says goes. 一切她說(shuō)了算。
Whatever I have is yours. 我的東西都是你的。
Whatever she did was right. 她做的一切都是對(duì)的。
Whatever I have is at your service. 我所有的一切都供你使用。
Whatever you want is fine with me. 無(wú)論你要什么對(duì)我都合適。
注意,不要與whatever引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句(=no matter what)時(shí)的用法相混淆。如:
Whatever happens, I must be calm. 不管發(fā)生什么事我都要鎮(zhèn)靜。
Whatever you do, I’ll always love you. 不管你干什么,我永遠(yuǎn)愛(ài)你。
Whatever you say, I won’t believe you. 不管你說(shuō)什么,我決不相信你的話(huà)。
