* ⑷whether...or...表示“不论是否……”，“不管是……还是……”之意。 　　由这一个复合连词引导的让步状语从句旨在说明正反两方面的可能性都不会影响主句的意向或结果。例如： 　　Youll have to attend the ceremony whether youre free or busy. 不管你忙不忙，都要参加这个典礼。 Whether you believe it or not,its true.无论你是否相信，这都是真的。 * ⑸“no matter+疑问词”或“疑问词-ever”的含义为“……都……；不管……都……” 　　它们引导的让步状语从句可以互换。例如： 　　No matter what happened,he would not mind. (=Whatever happened,he would not mind.) 无论发生了什么事情，他都不会介意的。 　　No matter who you are,you must keep the law.(=Whoever you are,you must keep the law. 不管你是谁，你都需要遵纪守法。 　　但“no matter+疑问词”结构只能引导让步状语从句，而“疑问词-ever”还可以引导名词性从句。例如： Whatever (=No matter what) you say,I won’t believe you. (Whatever 引导让步状语句） 无论你说什么，我都不会相信你。 　　Ill eat whatever （≠no matter what) you give me. (whatever引导宾语从句）你给我吃什么，我就吃什么。 　　Whoever comes will be welcome. (Whoever 引导主语从句) 不管谁来都受到欢迎。 Lesson 83 After the elections Why did Patrick keep on asking the same question? The former Prime Minister, Mr. Wentworth Lane, was defeated in the recent elections.

The same policeman was just walking slowly past the entrance, when Patrick asked the same question. Though a little suspicious this time, the policeman gave him the same answer. The day after, Patrick went to the house once more and asked exactly the same question. This time, the policeman lost his temper. ‘I told you yesterday and the day before yesterday, he shouted, ‘Mr. Lane was defeated in the elections. He has retired from political life and gone to live abroad!’ ‘I know,’ answered Patrick, ‘but I love to hear you say it!’ Topics for discussion 1 Why do you suppose that Mr. Lane decided to
