whichever引導主語從句時,相義相當于any that, anyone who,通常譯為“無論哪個……都”“無論誰……都”。如:
Whichever you want is yours. 你要哪一個,哪一個就是你的。
Whichever comes in first will receive a prize. 誰先到就會獲獎。
whichever有時還可以修飾名詞或后接表示范圍的of短語。如:
Whichever team gains the most points wins. 哪個隊得分最多,哪個隊就贏。
Whichever of them gains the most points wins. 他們中哪一個得分最多,哪一個就贏。
注意,不要與whichever引導讓步狀語從句(=no matter which)時的用法相混淆。如:
Whichever side wins, I shall be happy. 不管哪邊贏,我都會高興。
Whichever he chooses, he is damned. 無論他挑選哪一個都會倒霉。
Whichever method you use, the result is much the same. 不論你用哪一種方法,結(jié)果都差不多。
