如：

　　However much he eats, he never gets fat. 不管他吃多少，他永遠吃不胖。

　　用于此用法時，請注意以下幾點：

　　①此用法屬however所有用法中最重要的考點，同學們務請引起高度重視。

　　②這樣用的 however 與 no matter how 大致同義。如：

　　People always want more, however [no matter how] rich they are. 人總是富了還想再富。

　　However [No matter how] hard I worked, she was never satisfied. 無論我多么努力地工作，她從來沒滿意過。

　　③有時從句謂語可用情態動詞。如：

　　Don’t laugh, however funny it may be. 無論多么有趣也不要笑。

　　I’ll try to finish it in time, however hard it may be. 無論多么難，我也要按時完成。

　　④“however+形容詞或副詞+主語+謂語”有時可以有所省略。如：

　　I refuse, however favorable the conditions. 不管條件如何有利，我都不干。(conditions后省去了are)

　　I’d rather have a room of my own, however small (it is), than share a room. 無論房間多么小，我寧愿一個人住一間，而不愿意與別人合住一個房間。

　　A grammar rule, however true (it is), is useless unless it can be understood. 一條語法規則，不管如何正確，除非能懂，否則毫無用處。
