however表示转折与让步的用法

1.however用作副词，表示转折，常用于谈及一个既成事实时，意为“然而；但是”。可放在句首、句中或句末，通常用逗号与句子其他成分隔开。如：

However, long before that brave merchants were the real explorers of the Western Ocean.（Page12）

She felt ill. She went to work,however,and tried to concentrate.

but和however都含有“但是、然而”的意思，但用法上有区别：

⑴从语义上看，but表示非常明显的对比，转折的意味比however强。

⑵从语法上看，but是个并列连词，而however却是个副词。

⑶从语序上看，but总是位于它所引出的分句之首，而however可以位于分句之首、之中或之后，但在译成汉语时一定把它放在分句之首。

⑷从标点上看，but之后一般不得使用逗号，但however位于分句之首时，通常用逗号；位于分句之中时，通常在其前、后各加一个逗号；位于分句之尾时，则必须在其前加逗号。如：

Mary went to the party, but her sister didn’t.

He hasn’t arrived. He may, however, come later.

He said that it was so, he was mistaken, however.

2.however用作连词，相当于no matter how，引导让步状语从句，意为“不管怎样……；无论如何……”，其结构有如下两种：
①however+形容词+主语+系动词。如：
We shall never succeed,however much we try.

②however+副词+主语+谓语。如：
However fast he runs,he can’t catch up with us.
