1 高中英语高中英语省略句省略句 莎士比亚曾经说过 Brevity is the soul of wit 言以简为贵 为了使话说得简明扼 要 英语句子中某个单词 短语甚至从句或主句都可以省去 这种省去句子某些成分而保 持句子意思不变的现象 称为省略 ellipsis 一 一 省略的目的省略的目的 省略多见于非正式的文体 尤其在对话中 省略是一种十分普遍的现象 英语中的省略一 般说来有三个目的 A 避免重复 减少累赘 省略的主要目的是避免重复 去掉不必要的累赘和繁琐 Mike said that he would come to school to see me the next day but he didn t come to school to see me the next day 迈克说他第二 天要来学校看我 但是第二天他并没有来学校看我 Mike said that he would come to school to see me the next day but he didn t 迈克说他第二 天要来学校看我 但是他并没有来 省掉最后九个词 句子简洁多了 What did he want yesterday 他昨天要了什么 An apple 一个苹果 如果回答时说出全文 He wanted an apple yesterday 便显得别扭 不自然 B 连接紧密 结构紧凑 省略也是使上下文紧密连接的一种修辞手段 John was the winner in 1994 and Bob in 1998 约翰是 1994 年的获胜者 鲍勃是 1998 年的 获胜者 Bob 后省略了 was the winner 句子结构显得比较紧凑 In some places we stopped in tents for the night in other places in caves 我们在有些地方住在 帐篷里过夜 在有些地方住在山洞里 in other places 后省略了主语和谓语 we stopped for the night 上下文连接更加紧密 省略 回答问题要简洁 并列重复需省略 祈使主语常省略 比较 than 后需省略 宾从表从 that 勿省略 前后出现同一词 习惯表达需省略 C 强调重点 突出信息 省略的另一作用是突出新的信息 Truth speaks too low hypocrisy too loud 真理讲话声太低 虚伪讲话声太高 后一分句 省略谓语 speaks 突出了 too loud Have you told him that 你把那告诉他了吗 Not yet 还没有呢 I have not told him that yet 强调 not yet 二 二 可省略的成分可省略的成分 省略大致可归纳为功能词的省略和语法结构上的省略两种 在很多情况下 这两种省 略存在着交 的关系 即有时既是功能词的省略 同时又是语法结构上的省略 A 功能词的省略 2 功能词指的是没有完整意义 但有语法意义的词 如冠词 介词 助动词等 英语句子结 构的简洁 首先表现在功能词的省略上 1 冠词的省略 They elected John the monitor of the class 他们选约翰当班长 A man and a woman are talking in the office 办公室一男一女正在谈话 He could not understand why there was no noise coming from the house not even the sound of the radio or the television

Rebuild Homes After Flood 洪水退后人民重建家园 新闻标题 The People Rebuild Their Homes After the Flood DO NOT SPEAK TO DRIVER WHILE BUS IS IN MOTION 汽车在行驶时请勿和司机讲话 告示 Do not speak to the driver while the bus is in

did not dare to speak 我们不敢说话 dare 作行为动词用时 否定式可省略 to There is nothing to do but to obey the orders 除了服从命令之外 我们别无他法 介词 but 前如有 do but 后可省略 to 注意 当两个并列的不定式在意义上表示对比关系时 后面的不定式一般不省略 to To be or not to be

morning is worth two in the evening 一日之计在于晨 在 two 后补上 hours 显得罗嗦 It is now ten to seven 现在七点十分 如说 It is now ten minutes to seven o clock 显得累 赘 No parking 禁止停车 No parking is allowed here 告示用语 补上不合乎习惯 2

要到明年夏天大学毕业 后才走 3 在一些状语从句中 如果谓语动词是 be 主语又和主句的主语一致 或者主语是 it 常 常可以把从句中的主语和 be 省略掉 以 when while once until 等连词引导的时间状语从句 When you are in Rome do as Rome does 入国问禁 入乡随俗 Whenever it is possible you should speak English as much as you can 在任何可能的时间 你应多讲英语 省略的主语 it 并不和主句的主语一致 Please come as soon as it is possible 请尽快来 注意 由连词 before 和 after 引导的时间状语从句 如省略了主语和 be 之后 before 和 after 就 成了介词 The old machine must
