一个完整的句子有两部分,即主语(subject)和谓语( predicate)。两部分不齐全或句中有省略之处,就叫省略句。省略句是英语,尤其是英语口语中常见的一种现象。 句子中的主语或谓语成分,在恰当情况下,都可以省略。 下列 7 种情况,可以有省略句: ⒈省略主语,如: ① Thank you very much. ② Please come in ! ①里的I被省略;②里的You被省略。这种省略是必要的、正确的。 ⒉省略谓语动词和其他成分,如: ③ Youth is the time for sowing; age, reaping. ④ He comes to class earlier than I. ③里省略了age后头的is the time for;④里比较副词分句的谓语come to class不见了。当然。我们也可以用助动词 do:than I do. ⒊省略接系动词Be,如: ⑤ Mary is as tall as John. ⑥ His mind is alert ; his energy, unbounded. ⑤里John后头的is省掉了;⑥里的unbounded之前的is也省了,而以逗号取代。 ⒋省略补足语,如: ⑦ X: Are you all right? Y: Yes , I am. ⑧ Jack is not fond of talking; nor am I. |
