Nothing,' I said,'except whatever stole them from you stepped into them to steal a sheep from me'

问题描述:

Nothing,' I said,'except whatever stole them from you stepped into them to steal a sheep from me'
这里whatever是什么意思?

whatever 无论什么,不管什么
句子:“没什么,”我说,“只是不管是什么(谁)从你这儿偷了它们,它(他)都进了那里偷走了我的羊.”
说话的人不确定是什么或是谁偷了羊,所以用whatever指代
