一、whoever的意思“任何…的人”,在意義上大致相當(dāng)于 anybody who。Whoever可引導(dǎo)名詞性從句,在從句中可用作主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ),例如:
1. I’ll take whoever wants to go.
誰(shuí)想去我就帶誰(shuí)去。
2. She can marry whoever she chooses.
她愿意嫁誰(shuí)就嫁誰(shuí)。
3. Whoever wants the book may have it.
任何人要這書都可拿去。
4. Whoever comes will be welcome.
誰(shuí)來(lái)都?xì)g迎。
5. Whoever you invite will be welcome.
任何你邀請(qǐng)的人都?xì)g迎。
6. Whoever breaks this law deserves a fine.
違反本法者應(yīng)予以罰款。
7. I’ll give the ticket to whoever wants it.
請(qǐng)想要這票,我就把它給誰(shuí)。
8. The police, or whoever, would not think of looking for him here.
無(wú)論是警方還是其他什么人都不會(huì)想到來(lái)這里找他。
9. You can have whoever you like to visit you.
你想要誰(shuí)來(lái)拜訪你都可以。
10. Whoever was waiting for them there had command of the situation.
在那邊等候他們的人控制了局勢(shì)。

二、whoever 和no matter who 的意思都是無(wú)論誰(shuí),不管誰(shuí)的意思.
但whoever可以作為引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句的連接代詞,而no matter who 不能.
whoever和no matter who 是疑問(wèn)詞 + ever和no matter + 疑問(wèn)詞中的一個(gè)特例,這類詞的主要區(qū)別是:
1. 疑問(wèn)詞 + ever可引導(dǎo)名詞性從句,在主從句中要充當(dāng)一定的部分.如:
Whoever breaks the rule must be punished.
無(wú)論誰(shuí)不遵守規(guī)則都必須被處罰。
2.疑問(wèn)詞 + ever還可引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句.如:
Whoever breaks the rule,he must be punished.
無(wú)論誰(shuí)不遵守規(guī)則,他必須被處罰。
matter + 疑問(wèn)詞只能引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句.如:
No matter who breaks the rule,he must be punished.
無(wú)論誰(shuí)不遵守規(guī)則,他必須被處罰。
