相当于where on earth

Wherever did you get that idea?

你到底从哪儿得来的那个主意?

Wherever can he have gone to?

他究竟会到哪儿去了呢?

Wherever did you find it?

3.no matter where 只引导状语从句=wherever,但wherever 还可引导名词性从句。

No matter where you go, I will follow you.(=Wherever you go, I will follow you.)

无论你去哪儿,我也去哪儿。
但I'll live in wherever there is sunshine, fresh air, and green trees.

(宾语从句,不可no matter where 替换)

最后,为了加深印象最后请比较:

They must go where we send them.

他们必须去我们派他们去的地方。

They must go wherever we send them.

我们派他们去哪儿,他们就得去哪儿。
