1. 1反正、無論如何(口語;意思同 anyway,但許多老師當成不正確)

    Anyways means the same as anyway. You use it when you come back to the main thing after a side remark, or when you say that something does not change what you will do: It might rain. Anyways, I'm still going. Though actually, many teachers, exam markers, and style books treat anyways as not correct, or at least not for writing. They want anyway, with no extra s. The s is old grammar, the same kind of ending you can still hear in always, but on this word it now feels loose and spoken, especially in American English. In a film or at a kitchen table, anyways is very common and nobody looks surprised. In a test, the extra s is the bit that gets a red mark. The meaning is not the problem; the dress code is.

From the word’s history

any + an adverbial genitive of way (compare always).

由 any 加 way 再加副詞的 -s 組成,構法和 always 一樣。

Wiktionary

組成any + 一個加在 way 後面的舊詞尾 -ways(副詞所有格),always 也是這樣造成的。
