省略在口語中運用是比比皆是,說明省略對于口語或聽力考試是多么的重要;特別注意省略還是英語表達和寫作的一大比較高級的技巧,使文章簡潔生動,神韻自然;如果相沖985或211大學,必須盡可能掌握好以下關于省略的一些知識點:
可省略的成分
省略大致可歸納為功能詞的省略和語法結構上的省略兩種。在很多情況下,這兩種省略存在著交叉的關系,即有時既是功能詞的省略,同時又是語法結構上的省略。
A. 功能詞的省略
功能詞指的是沒有完整意義,但有語法意義的詞,如冠詞、介詞、助動詞等。英語句子結構的簡潔,首先表現在功能詞的省略上。
1.冠詞的省略
They elected John (the) monitor of the class. 他們選約翰當班長。
A man and (a) woman are talking in the office. 辦公室一男一女正在談話。
He could not understand why there was no noise coming from the house, not even the sound of the radio or (the) television. 他不明白為什么從屋子里一點響聲也沒傳出來,甚至連收音機和電視機的聲音也沒有。
提示:
在英語新聞標題、告示中,經常省略冠詞。
Chinese President Stresses Role of Working Class 中國國家主席強調工人階級作用 (新聞標題=The Chinese President Stresses the Role of the Working Class)
People Rebuild Homes After Flood 洪水退后人民重建家園(新聞標題=The People Rebuild Their Homes After the Flood)
DO NOT SPEAK TO DRIVER WHILE BUS IS IN MOTION 汽車在行駛時請勿和司機講話。(告示=Do not speak to the driver while the bus is in motion)

5.助動詞的省略

What we could do was (to) get away. (主語從句中含有do,那么作表語的動詞不定式往往省略to)
7.介詞的省略

三、 省略在句子中的運用
在一個句子中,省略可分為依賴上下文省略和不依賴上下文省略兩種。前者省略的部分可在句子中找到,但后者可能找不到。
A. 簡單句中的省略
1.依賴上下文的省略,在對話中最為常用。
Like more beer 再要點啤酒嗎?(=Would you like more beer)
— Would you mind if I used your telephone 用一下你的電話,你介意嗎?
— Not at all. 一點也不。(=I do not mind at all.)

B. 并列句中的省略
并列句中如果前后分句有相同的部分,常常可以省略掉,以避免重復。通常被省略的可以是主語、謂語、謂語動詞、賓語或其它成分,或句子成分的一部分。
1.省略出現在后一分句。

C.復合句中的省略
在主從復合句中,省略的現象是很普遍的。

— Will you go abroad soon 你很快要出國嗎?
— (I'll) Not (go abroad) until I graduate from the college next summer. 要到明年夏天大學畢業后才走。
3.在一些狀語從句中,如果謂語動詞是be,主語又和主句的主語一致,或者主語是it,常常可以把從句中的主語和be省略掉。
①以when, while, once, until等連詞引導的時間狀語從句
When (you are) in Rome do as Rome does. 入國問禁,入鄉隨俗。
Whenever (it is) possible, you should speak English as much as you can. 在任何可能的時間,你應多講英語。(省略的主語it并不和主句的主語一致)

注意:
由連詞before和after引導的時間狀語從句,如省略了主語和be之后,before和after就成了介詞。
The old machine must be checked before it is used. 這臺舊機器在使用前必須檢查。
②以as if, as though等連詞引導的方式狀語從句
She lay there, as if (she was) dead. 她躺在那兒,好像死了。(省略的主語和主句的主語一致)

(If you take) No pains, (you will make) no gains. (諺)不勞則無獲。
C. 使用替代詞的省略
我們在省略句子某些成分時,有時還必須加上適當的替代詞,如do, so, one等,以保持句子意思的完整。
1.do
do用來代替動詞或動詞加其他成分。
I know you better than he does. 我比他更了解你。(he does等于he knows you)
--- Have you finished your work

2.so

--- Has she ever been to London 她曾到過倫敦嗎
--- I don't think so. 我想她沒去過。(=I don't think she has been to
London.)

not代替否定的句子,用法和so相似。

動名詞屬于非謂語動詞的一種,它的基本結構和用法在初中階段也是必考點。
1. 動名詞概說
動名詞既具有動詞的性質,又具有名詞的性質,因此叫動名詞。(歸根結底動名詞的詞性是名詞。)
① 動名詞的動詞性質表現在,它可以組成動名詞短語,如:
My job is arranging the agenda for my boss.
我的工作是為老板安排日程。
I finished the project in a month by working overtime.
我靠加班在一個月內做完了這個項目。
② 動名詞的名詞性質表現在,它可以在句中用作主語、賓語等,如:
Studying abroad can be a good experience.
留學是一種很好的經歷。(作主語)
I regret telling her the truth.
我后悔告訴她事實真相了。(作賓語)
2. 動名詞的形式和特征
① 動名詞的主動形式:doing
② 動名詞的被動形式:being done
⑤ 動名詞的復合結構:形容詞性物主代詞/名詞所有格/名詞/賓格人稱代詞+動名詞
在動名詞復合結構中,物主代詞或名詞所有格是動名詞的邏輯主語,這種復合結構多用作主語或賓語,也可用作表語或介詞賓語。當動名詞短語作賓語,放在動詞或介詞后時,名詞所有格或物主代詞分別可用名詞普通格或人稱代詞賓格代替,如:
She suggested us forgiving him.
她建議我們原諒他。(作賓語)
His not knowing English brought him a lot of inconvenience.
他不懂英語,這給他帶來許多麻煩。(作主語)
Our only worry is George’s overestimating himself.
我們唯一擔心的就是喬治高估了他自己。(作表語)
I strongly object to your delivering the speech.
我強烈反對你發表講話。(作介詞賓語)
3. 動名詞的用法
① 動名詞作主語
Retelling stories is very useful.
復述故事是很有用的。
Her resigning surprises us.
她的辭職讓我們很驚訝。
在一些句子中,常用 it 作形式主語,將動名詞放在句子后面。此類句型有:
1) It is + no use/no good/no fun/a great pleasure/a waste of time等名詞+doing sth.
It is no good crying.
哭沒有好處。
It is no use fixing.
修也沒有用。
It is great fun traveling.
旅行很有趣。
It is a waste of time playing computer games.
玩電腦游戲是浪費時間。
2) It is + useless+doing sth.
It is useless crying.
哭沒有用。
② 動名詞作表語
Seeing is believing.
百聞不如一見。
My idea is making a plan first.
我的想法是先做一個計劃出來。
③ 動名詞作賓語
動名詞既可作動詞賓語也可作介詞賓語,如:
I haven't finished reading today's newspaper.
我還沒讀完今天的報紙。(動名詞reading作動詞finish的賓語)
I'm afraid of going to the dentist.
我害怕去看牙醫。(動名詞going作介詞of的賓語)
④動名詞作定語
I would like to choose a house with a swimming pool.
我想選個帶游泳池的房子。
4. 動名詞與不定式的比較
① 動名詞可以作介詞的賓語,還可被名詞所有格(或物主代詞)修飾;不定式通常不作介詞賓語,更不能被名詞所有格(或物主代詞)修飾。
She is afraid of going to the dentist.(√)
She is afraid of to go to the dentist.(×)
她害怕去看牙醫。
② 固定用法
1)某些動詞后只能加動名詞,常見的此類動詞有:admit,avoid,consider,delay,deny,enjoy,escape,finish,include,keep,miss,stop,suggest,give up 等,如:
I enjoy dancing.(√)
l enjoy to dance.(×)
我喜歡跳舞。
2)某些動詞后只能加不定式,常見的此類動詞有:agree,ask,claim,choose,decide,demand,determine,expect,fail,hope,manage,offer,promise,quit,refuse,resolve,wish 等,如:
l decide to quit smoking.(√)
l decide quitting smoking.(X)
我決定戒煙。
3)某些動詞后面既可加動名詞也可加不定式,常她的此類動詞有:attempt,begin,continue,deserve,fear,forget,help,intend,learn,like,love,mean,need,prefer,regret,remember,start,try等,如:
She cannot help crying.她不禁哭了起來。
She cannot help to cook.她不能幫忙做飯。
