[命题点]Whether the sayings are in Chinese, English, or any other language, they share something in common. 不论这些谚语是汉语, 英语还是其他语言, 它们都有一些共同点。
whether conj.意为“是否; 不管; 无论”。whether的两种用法:
1.whether 意为“是否”时,主要用来引导宾语从句,从句可以用一般将来时。
2.whether意为“不管,无论”时,用来引导让步状语从句,常用一般现在时代替一般将来时。
辨析:whether与if都表示“是否”,引导宾语从句,一般可以互换,但仍有区别。
只用 whether 的情况 与or not连用时
引导宾语从句,且从句位于句首表示强调时
从句作介词的宾语时
在动词不定式之前时
在某些动词(如discuss)后
只用if 的情况 引导否定概念的宾语从句时
引导条件状语从句,意为“如果”时
如:
He asked if/whether we wanted a drink. 他问我们是否想喝一杯。
Please call me if you arrive at the airport.假如你到了机场,请打电话给我。
I worry about whether I hurt her.我担心我是否伤害到了她。
Whether you like it or not, you'll have to do it.不管你愿不愿意,你都得做这件事。
