英语中,为了避免重复,省略句子中的一个或几个成分,这种语法现象叫做"省略"。常见的省略现象有:
一、部分句子成分的省略
1. 省略主语。如:
(I) Beg your pardon.
2. 省略谓语。如:
(Is there) Anything you want?
3. 省略宾语。如:
-Where has Jim gone?
-Sorry, I don't know (where he has gone).
4. 省略主语和谓语(或谓语的一部分),只剩下表语、宾语、状语或其它成分。如:
What a pity (it is) you can't go to the lecture!
-What does he want to eat?
-(He wants) Some rice and vegetables.
(I'm) Glad to see you.
(Is it) Right?
二、主从复合句的省略情况
1. 状语从句的省略。有两种情况:
第一种情况:省略从属连词及从句中的主语和助动词,只保留分词作状语。如:
(If it is) Taken into a warm room, a piece of ice will turn into water.
(If they had been) Given more attention, the trees could have grown better.
第二种情况:省略从句中的主语及系动词或助动词,保留从属连词及表语。如:
When (he was) rescued, he was almost dead.
Jim made a lot of friends while (he was) working there.
If (it is) possible, I should like to get there today.
She hurried away as if (she was) angry.
2. 名词性从句的省略。如:
Tom has gone home, but I don't know why (he has gone home).
3. 在"the + 比较级......,the + 比较级......"句型中的省略。如:
The more practice (there is), the better (it is).
三、不定式省略
通常是保留不定式符号to,省略其后的实义动词。常见的有三种情况:
1. 系动词(be)+形容词,即be afraid / ready / glad / happy / willing等后面接不定式时:
-Could you go shopping with me?
- I'm glad to (go shopping with you).
2. mean, try, want, would like, would love, afford等后面接不定式时:
-Did you get a ticket?
-No, I tried to (get one), but there weren't any left.
3. tell, warn, order, advise, ask等动词后接不定式作宾语补足语时:
The students want to enter the lab, but the monitor advises them not to (enter the lab).
注意:在see, watch, hear, feel, observe, notice, look at, listen to等感观动词及使役动词后的"宾语+动词不定式作宾语补足语"的结构中,不定式符号to须省略,但这类结构变成被动语态时,其后的不定式要还原加上to。如:
I haven't told you that my family made a lot of money in the nineteenth century by making children work 16 hours a day in their factories.
The children were made to work more than 16 hours a day.
四、虚拟语气的省略
1. 在含有if的虚拟条件句中可省去if,而把助动词had, should, were提到句首构成倒装。如:
Should it (If it should) rain tomorrow, we would have to put off the visit to the Yangpu Bridge.
2. 在suggest, insist, order, demand, advise等后的宾语从句中,谓语动词用should+动词原形,其中的should可省去。如:
The doctors suggested that she (should) not smoke.
He ordered that all (should) take part in the work.
I advised that you (should) do it right away.
另外,还有一些特殊的省略情况:
1. 所有格之后的名词如果是商店、工厂、住宅或是当地人比较熟悉的学校、医院、机关等时,该词往往可以省略。如:
At the doctor's, I met one of my old friends.
At the tailor's, I tried on several modern
dresses.
2. 在比较性的句子中,后一个数词或形容词修饰的与前面名词相同的名词往往省略。如:
A tall man is not always better than a short (man).
Two heads are better than one (head).
3. 动词不定式前的名词,若被序数词、最高级形容词或next,last等修饰时,该名词也通常省略。如:
Who is the next (student) to read the text?
He is always the first (man) to come and the last (man) to leave.
4. 对前面某种说法表示同意、肯定或加以强调时,常使用"So+主语+助动词"结构,以避免重复。如:
-It is sunny today.
-So it is. (=It's really sunny today.)
5. so常与think, guess, believe, suppose, expect, fear, be afraid, hope等连用构成省略句。如:
-I think it is going to rain.
-Yes, I think so. / I am afraid so.
6. not常与hope, think, guess, believe, expect, fear, be afraid, certainly, of course, perhaps等连用构成省略句。如:
-Do you suppose John is honest?
-No, I believe not.
