英语省略句
专题讲解
1
1. 简单句中的省略
简单句中,可以省略谓语(的一部分)或主语。另外,也可省略宾语等其他成分。如:
(I am) Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
—What do you think made Mary so upset?
—Losing her bicycle (made her upset).

2. 并列句中的省略
在由并列连词and, but, or等连接的并列句中,后边的分句中可以省略与前边分句中相同的成分,以避免重复。如:
My room is on the fifth floor, and hers (is) on the eighth (floor).

3. 复合句中的省略
当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致,且谓语动词中有be时,从句的主语和be可以省略。另外,当状语从句的主语和谓语是it is / was时,it is / was常被省略。如:
The boy studies very hard though (he is) still rather weak.
You may turn to the dictionary when (it is) necessary.
注意:
在状语从句中,省略了从句中的主语和be动词,这时从句中可出现如下结构:连词(as if, as, once)+名词;连词(though, whether, when)+形容词;连词(whether, as if, while)+介词短语;连词(when, while, though)+动词-ing形式;连词)when, if, even if, unless, once, than, as)+ 过去分词;连词(as if, as though)+不定式。
在对话中,常用so或not来替代上文的一部分或整个从句。如:
—Do you think he will lend us a hand?
—I hope so. (= I hope he will lend us a hand.)
在限制性定语从句中,作宾语的关系代词that, which, whom, who等常可以省略。如:
He is the man (who / whom / that) you can depend on.
引导宾语从句的连词that常被省略。如:
We all know (that) light travels much faster than sound.
为避免重复,不定式常省去前面出现的相同部分,而只保留不定式符号to。但如果在省略的不定式结构中含有be, have时,这些词要保留。如:
I saw him playing with a gun, and I told him not to.
My brother has lost a lot of weight — he is three kilos lighter than he used to be.
—Hasn’t he finished writing the report?
—No, but he ought to have.
单独使用不定式符号to代替不定式后被省略的动词,常用在be afraid, expect, forget, hope, intend, like, love, mean, prefer, refuse, seem, try, want, wish等后面。如:
I asked him to see the film, but he didn’t want to.
如果从句的谓语动词与主句的谓语动词一样,从句中的谓语动词可以用do, did, does等代替。
4. 习惯上的省略
由固定短语引导的疑问句。如:
What about having a game of chess?
What if it’s raining?
习惯性的交际用语。如:
Not at all. 不用谢。
No matter. 不要紧。
Thanks. 谢谢。
5. 常见考点
高考对省略的考查主要集中在不定式中的省略和状语从句中的省略。
