作者:谢文芳 在Unit 12中有这样一个句子: I read all the books I could find that threw light upon these matters. matter在句中作名词,意为"问题"。matter一词可作名词,也可作动词,其意义、搭配、句型较多。现在,让我们一起来看看它都有哪些用法? 一、matter作可数名词,意为"事情;问题;情况"。作不可数名词,意为"物质;材料;东西"。例如: Let's leave that for the moment. We have more important matters to think about. 让我们先把那事搁一边吧。我们还有更重要的事情需要考虑呢。 The universe is made up of matter. 宇宙是由物质组成的。 I have nothing to do now. Could you offer me some reading matter? 我现在无事可做。你能给我点儿可读的东西吗? 二、matter作动词,意为"有关系;要紧"。通常用于否定句和疑问句,句中常常含有what, who, where, if等词,一般以it作主语。例如: It doesn't matter if I miss the train, because there's another later. 我要是误了这趟火车也不要紧,因为晚些时候还有一趟车呢。 Does it matter a great deal to her whether they come or not?他们是否来,这与她有很大关系吗? 三、由matter构成的常用短语。 1. no matter ①不要紧;无关紧要。此短语可单独用,也可接that, whether引导的从句。例如: -I can't repair the mobile phone. 我不会修手机。 -No matter. I'll do it myself. 没关系。我自己来。 There is no matter whether he has worked abroad. 他有没有在国外工作过都没关系。 ②no matter+特殊疑问词;意为"无论......",用来引导状语从句。例如: No matter where you go, please let me know. 无论你去哪里,请告诉我一声。 2. the matter意为"有问题;出毛病;麻烦事",常常同不定代词anything, something, nothing等连用,意为"有点儿什么问题"或"没有什么问题"等。例如: -Is there anything the matter? 有什么问题吗? -Of course, there's something the matter. 当然,有问题。 -I heard he fell off the truck. Anything the matter with him at present? 我听说他从卡车上摔下来了。他现在怎么样了? -Nothing the matter. Thank you. 没事了。谢谢你。 3. as a matter of fact事实上(用来加强语气)。例如: As a matter of fact, I know nothing about the matter. 事实上,我对此事一无所知。 4. for that matter都一样(用于指出所说的两件事物中,后说的与先说的性质一样)。例如: Don't talk like that to the elder, or to anyone else for that matter. 不要跟长辈那样说话,其实跟谁也不要那样。 5. (be) a matter of (doing) sth. 取决于某事。例如: Success in business is simply a matter of knowing when to take a chance. 商业上的成功就在于懂得对时机的把握。 |
