句型梳理
1. No matter how bad my mood is, that perfect combination is always enough to lift my spirits.
无论我心情多么糟糕,那个完美的组合总是足以让我振奋起来。
语法:“no matter +特殊疑问词”引导的让步状语从句
(1)no matter与what/who/which/when/where/how等特殊疑问词连用,引导让步状语从句,表示“无论……,不管……”。
He is a very determined man. No matter what problems he has, he never gives up.
他是一个意志非常坚定的人。他无论遇到什么问题,都决不放弃。
No matter how difficult the problem is, we'll overcome it.
不管问题有多难,我们都会解决它。
(2)引导让步状语从句时,no matter what/who/which/when/where/how可分别与whatever/ whoever/ whichever/ whenever/ wherever/ however 互换。
No matter when/Whenever you call on him, you will see him reading.
不论什么时候你去拜访他,你都会看到他在读书。
拓展:
whatever,who(m)ever,whichever还可引导名词性从句,此时不可与“no matter+特殊疑问词”互换。

3. I find it hard to keep up my energy right after lunch.
我发现饭后很难保持精力充沛。
语法:“find it +adj.+不定式(短语)”结构

My grandma finds it increasingly difficult to read, for her eyesight has begun to fail.

拓展:“动词+it(形式宾语)+宾补+真正的宾语”结构
