whoeverno matter who有何区别

有这样一道题:

I will give the ticket to __________ wants it.

A. whoever                      B. no matter who               C. whatever                    D. no matter what

此题应选 A。容易误选B。选项C,D都是错的,因为从句意上看,“想要票的”应该是“人”(whoever)而不能是“东西”(whatever)。至于为什么选 whoever 而不选no matter who,这要从它们在句中引导的成分说起:

no matter who通常只能引导状语从句,而不能引导名词性从句。而 whoever 既可引导名词性从句(= anyone that)也可引导状语从句(=no matter who):

1. 引导名词性从句(只用whoever):

谁想去我就带谁去。

正:I’ll take whoever wants to go.

误:I’ll take no matter who wants to go.

谁赢了都可以获奖。

正:Whoever wins gets a prize.

误:No matter who wins gets a prize.

不管这话是谁对你说的,他都是在撒谎。

正:Whoever told you that was lying.

误:No matter who told you that was lying.

2. 引导状语从句(两者可换用):

不管是谁打电话来,都说我出去了。

正:Whoever phones,tell them I’m out.

正:No matter who phones,tell them I’m out.

不管是谁这样说,那都是错的。

正:Whoever says so,it is wrong.

正:No matter who says so,it is wrong.
