问题描述
however 引导让步状语从句时,它是什么词?如:
However hard I try, I can’t remember people’s names. 不管我怎样用心,还是记不住人们的名字。
However far it is, I intend to drive there tonight 不管有多远,我今晚也要开车到那儿去。
这样的however引导的是让步状语从句吧,因为这个however相当于no matter how,请问它是从属连词吗?好像不是!有本书上说它是程度副词,但我想“副词”怎么可以引导从句呢?请老师释疑!谢谢!
老师答疑
张老师:
在你所问的句子中,however是一个连接副词。即对于主句而言起从属连词的作用,同时对于从句而言有起到副词的作用,多修饰一个形容词/副词/动词。

童老师:
《朗文英语语法》认为however引导让步状语从句时是“连词”。该书在第1.50节论述“让步状语从句”时指出:让步状语从句使句子具有对比的因素,因此有时也称它为对比从句(contrast clauses)。它们一般由下列连词引导:although (虽然),considering (that) (就…而论,考虑到),though (虽然),even though (即使),even if (即使),much as (虽然很…),while (虽然),whereas (鉴于),however much / badly / good (无论多么多 / 多么坏 / 多么好等),no matter how (不管如何),no matter how much (不管有多少)。在口语中,even though (即使) 可能比though / although用得更多:
However far it is, I intend to drive there tonight 不管有多远,我今晚也要开车到那儿去。
