Question

英语whatever和however
Whatever great achievements China may have in the future ,it is likely that many of them will be born in the Western China .
为什么用whatever,而不用however,however不是用来修饰形容词或副词的吗?如：
However carefully I explained ,she still didn't understand.这是一句简单句还是复合句?
另外,刚刚看到whatever great achievements she has gained can't change her plain way of life.有人说这是感叹句,What great achievements!
为什么?

Answer 1

whatever=no matter what, however=no matter how.
如果看了上面的等式还不能理解的话,我们就继续往下看.
1.Whatever great achievements China may have in the future ,it is likely that many of them will be born in the Western China.
无论将来中国做出什么成就,大多数都可能是发生在中国西部的.
这里的whatever修饰的是achievement,说的无论是什么成就,而不是成就有伟大.
2.However carefully I explained ,she still didn't understand.
无论我多么耐心的解释他始终都听不懂.
这里的however修饰的是carefully,说的是无论多么耐心,而不是解释了什么.
这是个复合句,主句是she still didn't understand.
3.whatever great achievements she has gained can't change her plain way of life.
无论她得到什么样的成就都无法改变她简单的生活.
而What great achievements
多伟大的成就（们）,没看出哪里一样.
