‎2013届新课标高考英语精华知识点终极解密 专题12 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、 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、 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叉的关系，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 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. 他不明白为什么从屋子里一点响声也没传出来，甚至连收音机和电视机的声音也没有。   提示：   在英语新闻标题、告示中，经常省略冠词。   Chinese President Stresses Role of Working Class 中国国家主席强调工人阶级作用 （新闻标题 = The Chinese President Stresses the Role of the Working Class）   People 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 motion）‎ ‎2．代词的省略   I went to the market, (I) bought something useful, and (I) returned home within an hour. ‎ 我去了市场，买了点有用的东西，一小时之内就回来了。   They didn't like it, yet (they) said nothing. 他们并不喜欢它，可是什么话也没说。   (It) Doesn't matter. 这不碍事。   (You) Had a good time, didn't you 玩得开心，是吧？   I like your two small bottles, but I don't like the smallest (one). 我喜欢你的两只小瓶子，但我不喜欢最小的那一只。‎ ‎3．连词的省略   We are delighted (that) you can come. 你能来，我们很高兴。   I believe (that) you will succeed．我相信你们会成功的。   It's a pity (that) he's leaving. 他要走，真遗憾。‎ ‎4．关系词的省略   I'll give you all (that) I have. 我要把我所有的一切都给你。   He read the book (which) I got yesterday. 他看过我昨天买的书了。   It wasn't I (who) let him in. 不是我放他进来的。   It happened on the day (when) we first met. 这发生在我们初次见面的那一天。   There is a man (who) wants to see you. 有个人想要见你。‎ ‎5．助动词的省略   (Does) Anyone want a drink 有谁要喝一杯吗？   Who (do) you think you are 你以为你是谁？（在特殊疑问句中，当主语是第二人称时，助动词do可省略）   I (have) got to go now. 我得走了。‎ ‎6．不定式符号的省略   I hope to finish my job and (to) go back home. 我希望做完事回家。（当几个不定式并列时，一般只需在第一个不定式前用to）   What we could do was (to) get away. （主语从句中含有do，那么作表语的动词不定式往往省略to）   We 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, that is the question. 活着还是死亡，这就是问题所在。（莎士比亚）   It was better to laugh than to cry. 笑比哭好。‎ ‎7．介词的省略    He went (in) that way. 他往那边去了。   The two boys are (of) the same age. 这两个男孩年龄一样大。   I am in doubt (about) whether this is right or not. 我拿不定主意这对不对。   You may come to see me (at) any time between 4 and 5. 你在4点到5点之间随时都可以来见我。   She must have stayed here (for) a long time. 她在这里一定呆了很久了。   必背：   在下列结构中，介词in常常省略。   be busy (in) doing sth.  忙于做某事   spend time (in) doing sth.  花时间做某事   waste energy (in) doing sth.  浪费精力做某事   have difficulty (in) doing sth.  做某事有困难   have a good time (in) doing sth.  某事做得非常愉快   have a hard time (in) doing sth.  某事做得很艰难   take turns (in) doing sth.  轮流做某事   It is no use (in) doing sth.  做某事没有用   It is no good (in) doing sth.  做某事无益   There is no hurry (in) doing sth.  不必着急做某事   There is no point (in) doing sth.  做某事无意义   There is no use (in) doing sth.  做某事没有用 ‎8．引导词there的省略   (There) Ought to be some coffee in the pot. 壶里应该有些咖啡的。   (There) Must be somebody waiting for you. 肯定有人在等你。‎ B． 句子成分的省略 为了避免重复，或者为了使某一内容显要注目，可以省略某些句子成分而保持句子原意不变。‎ ‎1．省略主语   Hope so. 希望如此。（= I hope so.）   Beg your pardon. 请你原谅。（= I beg your pardon.）   Take care!
