matter用法

教育

分类: 动词;语态

 

一、用作不及物动词

   1. 当 matter 用作不及物动词时,它主要用于否定句、疑问句或条件状语从句中,意为“要紧,有关系”,相当于“ be important ”。可用于肯定句,常与介词to连用,表示“对某人很重要,和某人有关系”。 常常含有what, who, where, if等词,一般以it作主语。例如: 

whether he is satisfied.

他满意与否对我关系不大(不重要)。

That car matters a great deal to her.那辆车对她来说事关重大。

It does not matter at all.毫无关系。

It never mattered what time of day or night it was.不论是白天还是晚上, 都没有关系。

It doesn't matter much whether we go together or separately.我们一起去还是分头去都可以。

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? 

- I'm sorry I'm late. (对不起,我迟到了。)

- It doesn't matter this time. But come to school earlier next time.

   (这次没关系,但下次要早点来学校。) 

Age doesn't matter. (年龄无关紧要。)

What does it matter? (这有什么要紧吗?)

 表示“有关系”时,也可用于肯定句,常与to连用。

That car matters a great deal to her.那辆车对她来说事关重大。

 

 2. 有时, matter 可以和 about 连用,意为“对……(没)关系”。例如:

   It doesn't matter about closing the window. (关上窗户是不碍事的。)

It doesn't matter about throwing that away.把它扔掉, 没关系。

 

二 . 用作名词

matter 既可以用作名词,又可以用作动词。

   1. 用作可数名词,意为“事情,问题,情况”等。例如:

   It's quite another matter. (这完全是两码事。)

   That's only a matter of time. (那只是个时间问题。)

  It is a matter of regret that you couldn't get there on time.你不能按时到达那儿是一件遗憾的事。

It relates to a matter of time.这涉及到一个时间问题。

 

   2. 用作不可数名词,意为“物质”。例如:

   Most matter has three states. (大多数物质有三种形态。)

  The world is made up of matter.世界是由物质构成的。

 

   3.    表示“毛病;麻烦事”,与定冠词the连用,作表语或定语。

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?)

 What's the matter with the machine? (这台机器出什么毛病了?)

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:

   No matter what happened, he wouldn't say a word. (不管发生什么事,他一句话也不肯说。)

   No matter where he goes, the dog will go. (无论他去哪里,狗都跟着他。)

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: 

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
