Whether意思英文
"Whether" 是一個英語單詞,用作連詞,表示一種選擇關係,通常用來引入疑問句或表示條件的從句。它可以用來詢問或表達是否、是否或者在某個條件下的選擇。以下是一些例子:
-
詢問是否:
- "Are you going to the party? Whether you go or not, please let me know."
- "Whether it rains or shines, we'll have a great time."
-
表示選擇:
- "I don't know whether to believe him or not."
- "I'm not sure whether to take the job or not."
-
表示條件:
- "Whether you like it or not, you have to do it."
- "Whether you win or lose, you should always try your best."
在某些情況下,"whether" 可以與 "or not" 連用,也可以不與 "or not" 連用,兩者意思相同,但有時使用 "whether" 而不帶 "or not" 可以使得句子更加簡潔。
請注意,在某些特定的結構中,"whether" 可以被 "if" 替換,但通常 "whether" 更正式,且在某些特定情況下(如在介詞 "of" 之後)只能使用 "whether"。例如:
- "I'm not sure if/whether it's going to rain."
- "He asked me if/whether I was ready."
然而,在以下情況下,只能使用 "whether":
- "He is interested in whether you will come."
- "The question is whether we should go or stay."
總之,"whether" 是一個表示選擇或條件的連詞,通常用於詢問或表達是否、是否或者在某個條件下的選擇。
