Language appreciation
1. Bur mom said that whatever happens, we should always try to see the good side of things.
[句式分析] “whatever happens” 是由连词whatever引导的 “ ”从句,意为“无论发生什么事”,这时whatever 用 替换。此外, whatever还可以
从句, 这时它不能用 no matter what替换。 (notes:1. “no matter+疑问词”结构只能引导让步状语从句,这时可以和“疑问词+ever”互换。2. 而“疑问词+ever”还可以引导名词性从句)
[尝试翻译]

让步状语
no matter what
“引导名词性”
