有这种说法？肯定是根据句子意思而定啦

大全644 Since 1975 the number of women in upper-level management in American corporations have increased by 25 percent; female executives’ salaries, however, still lag behind those of their male counterparts.

(A) have increased by 25 percent; female executives’ salaries, however, still lag

(B) has increased by 25 percent, however much their salaries lag

(D) has increased by 25 percent; female executives’ salaries, however, still lag

(E) have increased 25 percent; their salaries, however, still lag

今天做这道题除了语义awkward 不知道B是不是however的用法也出错

如果however不能作连词那么B显然错误

之前看别人在cd上讨论时说过however不能做连词

特向大家求证

答案 D

B中的however这样用就是“不管怎么样”的意思啊。“无论她们的工资落后多少”？？

however是做“转折，仍然”的意思时是副词，无法连接句子。however做连词的时候意思是“不管怎样”。故在GMAT里面however是基本上不能连接两个句子的。但是不排除连接两个短语或者修饰语的情况。

作为sentence connector

1.still; nevertheless

2.on the other hand; yet

作为adv

1.by whatever means; in whatever manner

2.no matter how

作为一个连词也不能像and或者but那样连两个句子的吧..一般也就是句子开头来一个however

那照斑斑讲 however这里没有用错咯？

以下是引用JJJooe在2009/10/1 21:50:00的发言：

谢谢～

从语法角度说 however作为连词的时候应该可以向and一样联接两个单独的句子

从语言习惯上更倾向于放在句首

我的理解不知道正确与否

呵呵

我汗……无视我的话啊……这里B中这样用however，句子的意思错啦！

不是，B里however用错了，这里however是转折的含义做副词，所以不能连接两个句子，后面那个分句的动词是lag behind，所以是错的。

however在B里面不是“不管怎么样”的意思。。。

恩～多谢斑斑指教

其实B最大的错误是，much应该修饰不可数名词，salaries是可数名词，从后面的those也能看出来的~~~

从Manhattan论坛上搜到的Ron关于however用法的解释。我真是爱死他了！！！
the words "however" and "therefore" are not used in american english as they're used in british english.
in british english, these words are used as coordinating conjunctions, in the same way as are and, or, yet, and the like. in american english, on the other hand, you CANNOT use them as coordinating conjunctions; you have to use them in the same way as words/constructions such as nevertheless, despite all of these things, etc.

for instance:
i left home twenty minutes early, however i was still late. --> i think this is correct british usage, but it is WRONG WRONG WRONG in american english.
i left home twenty minutes early; however, i was still late. --> correct american usage. note the semicolon (which could also be a period, if these were longer sentences) and the comma, BOTH of which are essential.

这个题很明显的考点是找到句子的主语。这个句子的主语是 the number of...，很明显这是一个单数，所以谓语里的have要换成单数has形式。这里的however是转折的意思。
