[归纳]
为了避免重复,或为了使语言简洁明了,突出重点或使上下文紧密相连,在一些句子中常常省去某些句子成分而保持句子原意不变,这种语法现象在英语中叫省略。
[对应学生用书P155]
在英语句子中,常见的省略情况有以下几种:
1.省略主语
一般情况下,主语是不能省略的,但在祈使句或其他不容易引起歧义的情况下,特别是在口语中,主语常常省略,主要是祈使句中的you和疑问句中的主语。
(You) Shut up! 住嘴!
(You) Want a hand? 需要帮忙吗?
(I) Beg your pardon. 请再说一遍。
(It) Doesn't matter. 没关系。
2.省略宾语
当上、下或前后两个句子的宾语一致时,下句或后句常省略宾语。
—Do you know Miss Gao?
——你认识高女士吗?
—I don't know (her).
——不认识。
3.省略主语和谓语(或谓语的一部分)
在某些具体的场合下,主语和谓语都很明确,此时为了简化或显得亲切等,可将主语和谓语(或谓语的一部分)同时省略,只剩下表语、宾语、状语或其他成分。
(You come) This way, please.
请这边走。(省略了主语和谓语)
(Have you) Got any ink?
你有墨水吗?(省略了主语和谓语的一部分)
名词所有格修饰的名词在表示店铺、住宅、教堂或上下文已暗示或明确指出过的事物时经常被省略。
I met him at the doctor's (office).
我在诊所见到过他。
在由and或but连接的并列句中,常省略一些重复的词或词组。
1.省略共同的主语或宾语
当后文的主语或宾语与前文相同时,可以省略后文中与前文共同的主语或宾语。
Tom picked up a book on the floor and (Tom) handed it to his teacher.
汤姆在地板上捡起了一本书并把它交给了老师。
2.省略系动词、助动词或情态动词
若主语不同,而谓语部分的系动词、助动词或情态动词相同,则省略后文的系动词、助动词或情态动词。
Jack must have been playing football and Mary (must have been) doing her homework.
杰克肯定一直在踢足球,玛丽肯定一直在做作业。
3.省略主谓成分
当后文的主语和谓语动词均与前文相同时,则省略后文的主谓成分。
His advice made me happy, but (his advice made) Jim angry.
他的建议使我高兴,却使吉姆生气。
4.省略主要动词及后续部分
若主语不同,但主要动词及后续部分相同,则省略主要动词及后续部分。

他了解急救知识,但他的朋友不了解。
1.状语从句的省略
(1)在when,while,if,as if,though,although,as,until,once,whether,unless,whenever等连接的状语从句中,当从句主语跟主句的主语相同且从句谓语中含有系动词be或从句的主语为it时,则从句中主语和be动词常被省略。

①省略句中的谓语动词和主语之间构成主动关系,则动词使用现在分词;若构成被动关系,则使用过去分词;若谓语动词表示的动作尚未发生,则使用不定式。
②并非所有的状语从句都可以省略主语和be动词,由after, before, because等词引导的状语从句一般要改写成介词短语。

我真的相信美丽源自内在。

(5)介词but,except (除了) 前有实义动词do的某种形式时,后面的不定式不带to。
