高考英语常考句式（03）

——however + 形容词或副词 + 主语 + 动词

“however+形容词或副词+主语+动词”是高考英语经常涉及的一个考点，however 的意思是“无论多么”，用以引导让步状语从句。如：

However much he eats, he never gets fat. 无论他吃多少, 他都不发胖。

However hot it is, he will not take off his coat. 无论多热，他都不会脱掉外套。

He will never succeed however hard he tries. 不论他怎样努力，都不会获得成功。

However sly a fox may be, it is no match for a good hunter. 狐狸再狡猾也敌不过好猎手。

几点说明：

1. 这类结构中的 however 也可换成 no matter how，但不能只换成 no matter。注意：高考命题中经常用 no matter 来设置干扰项。

2. 有时however后可以没有形容词或副词，此时however 的意思是“无论用什么办法”“不管怎样”。如：

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

However you travel, it’ll take you at least three days. 不管你怎么走，至少要三天。

3. 有时该结构中的主语和谓语可以有所省略。如：

He was of some help, however small. 他总能帮些忙，不管多小的忙。

I refuse, however favorable the condition. 不管条件多好，我都不接受。

第一句句末省略了 it is，第二句句末省略了 is。
