9. 你会使用引导让步状语的however吗

If we work with a strong will, we can overcome any difficulty, ______ great it is.

A. what                    B. how                     C. however              D. whatever

此题应选C。由于此题空格后是一个形容词(great), 所以排除A(what)和D(whatever)。至于为什么选however 而不选how, 这要从however的用法说起。

however引导让步状语从句, 表示“无论如何”、“不管怎样”(=no matter how), 与形容词或副词连用时, 词序为：

however＋形容词或副词＋主语＋谓语

I will come however busy I am. 我不管多忙都会来的。

However late he is, we will wait for him to havedinner together. 无论他回得多迟, 我们都会等他一起吃饭。

We always go swimming in the river however coldit is. 无论天气多冷, 我们都去河里游泳。

However rich people are, they always want more. 人们不管多么有钱, 他们总是想有更多的钱。

However fast you drive, I always feel safe withyou. 无论你把车开得多快, 和你在一起我永远感到安全。

有时其后可以不出现形容词或副词：

However you travel, it’ll take you at least twodays. 无论你怎么走法, 至少都得两天时间。

However you come, be sure to come early. 不管你怎么来, 一定要早来。
