二 . 用作名词
matter 既可以用作名词,又可以用作动词。
It relates to a matter of time.这涉及到一个时间问题。
the matter 意为“乱子,麻烦,毛病”,与 wrong 同义,其后常跟介词 with 。例如:
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。
What's the matter with the car?这辆小汽车怎么了?
Is there anything the matter with her?她出了什么事吗? What's the matter with you ? (你怎么啦?)
注意:在“ What's the matter … ? ”句式里, what 是主语, the matter 是表语。故在宾语从句中,应特别注意其语序。例如:
我不知道出了什么麻烦。
误: I don't know what the matter is.
正: I don't know what is the matter.
4.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。
②It is of no matter.这无关紧要。
③Is that your matter for tears?那就是你流泪的原因吗?
用在no后面时,表示“无论;不论”,后面接疑问词who,whom,whose,what, where,when,how,which,whether等,构成连词词组,引导让步状语从句。
“ no matter+ 疑问词”用来引导让步状语从句,意为“不管,无论”。例如:
I shall wait for you no matter how late you are.无论你来多晚,我都等着你。
No matter what you say,I like to listen.不管你说什么,我都喜欢听。
No matter where you go,you'll al- ways find the same thing.不论你走到哪里,你总会发现同样的事情。
No matter whether it is fine or rainy, I've decided to leave tomorrow.不管晴天还是下雨,我已决定明天动身。
5.as a matter of fact表示“事实上;实际上;其实”,作插入语,相当于in fact。
As a matter of fact,I know nothing about the matter.其实,我不知道这件事。
a matter of ……的事情/问题
no matter whether (if)不管是否
Before making any important decision, I discuss it with my wife as a matter of course. 在作任何重要决定之前,我照例要问问我夫人。
As a matter of course, you should go to the dentist at least once a year. 按常规你应该至少每年让牙医检查一次。
翻译句子
(1)他问我出了什么事。
He_asked_me_what_was_the_matter.
(2)他问我那是什么东西(物质)
He_asked_me_what_the_matter_was.
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:

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
