　　1.意思是“所….的事/物”, 相当于the thing(s) that…, that which…, 或those which… 可以用于以下情况：

　　(1) 引导主语从句。如：

　　Times are not what they used to be. 时代不同了。

　　(3) 引导宾语从句，包括介词宾语。如：

　　2.用作插入语，指代后面的成分。这和非限定性定语从句正好相反，非限定性定语从句指代的是前面的成分。如：

　　Then I discovered, what was news to me, that his wife was Mary’s niece. 后来我发现，他妻子原来是Mary的侄女，这对我是个新闻。

　　He never joined in the usual sports of the boys, and, what is remarkable, never went out in a boat on the river. 他从来不参加男孩子通常做的体育活动，更奇怪的是，他从来不坐船出去到河上面去。

　　We invited a new speaker and, what’s more, he was happy to come. 我们请到了一位新的发言人，而且他很乐意来。

　　3.引导让步状语从句，等于“不管什么…”。注意状语从句的语序。如：

　　Do what she would, she could not invent a reason for not going. 不管她会做什么，她都编不出不去的理由。状语从句把实义动词放在句首，句子倒装。=No matter what she would do, …

　　Come what may, you’ll always keep it secret. 无论怎样，你都要保守秘密。=No matter what may come, ….

　　Jack has made up his mind that, come what might, he would stay there. Jack已经拿定主意，无论如何他也要呆在那里。=…no matter what might come, …

　　Say what he will, in his heart he knows that he is wrong. 不管他怎么说，内心里他知道自己错了。= No matter what he will say.
