VOA慢速英语:Study Finds No Reason to Delay Pregnancy After a Miscarriage

whatever,no matter what

no matter what 只能引导状语从句，而不引导名词性从句。而 whatever 既可引导名词性从句(＝anything that)，也可引导状语从句(＝no matter what)：

1). 引导名词性从句(只用whatever)：

无论他做什么都是对的。

正：Whatever he did was right.

误：No matter what he did was right.

无论他说什么似乎都有道理。

正：Whatever he says sounds reasonable.

误：No matter what he says sounds reasonable.

山羊找到什么就吃什么。

正：Goats eat whatever they find.

误：Goats eat no matter what they find.

2). 引导状语从句(两者可换用)：

无论你说什么，我都不会相信你。

正：Whatever you say，I won’t believe you.

正：No matter what you say，I won’t believe you.

无论发生什么，都要保持镇定。

正：Keep calm，whatever happens.

正：Keep calm，no matter what happens.

2.A two thousand five report from the World Health Organization advised waiting at least six months. Some doctors advise a longer wait.

advise,suggest表示动作，是“向……建议”的意思，两者的区别是：advise后面加somebody (not)to do...,而suggest后面必须加somebody(或者somebody’s)doing...，当然两者都可以接宾语从句，注意宾语从句的动词形式必须是(should) (not) do...。如下面三个句子：
  a.I advise my father to stop smoking.
  b.I suggest my father( father’s) stopping smoking.
  c.I advise/suggest (that) my father (should) stop smoking.
  advise与suggest的另一个区别是：可以说suggest something to somebody，而advise一般不能接something作宾语。

3.The study found that eighty-five percent of women who waited less than six months to get pregnant had live births.

live birth婴儿安全出生

4.Older women might be less likely to delay because they know that the older they get, the higher the risks.

the older they get, the higher the risks比较级的用法

the+比较级, the+比较级：表示后者随着前者的变化而变化，意为“越……就越……”，前者相当于一个条件句，因此，要用一般现在时代替一般将来时。如：

The harder you work, the better result you’ll get.你学习越努力，成绩就越好。
