考點6 省略和替代
省略和替代這兩種語言現(xiàn)象一般出現(xiàn)在上下文相同的語境中,目的是讓句子言簡意賅,避免重復(fù)。
1. 省略
(1)復(fù)合句的省略
1)狀語從句由although/though, as if, until, once, unless, when, whether, where, while等引導(dǎo),且同時具備下列兩個條件:主句和從句的主語一致,或從句主語為it;從句的主要動詞是be的某種形式,則從句中的主語和be動詞??墒÷?。
When completed, the museum will be open to the public next year.(=When the museum is completed...)
明年當(dāng)博物館竣工時,將會對公眾開放。
He’ll go to the seaside for his holiday if possible.(=... if it is possible.)
如果可能的話,他會去海邊度假。
2)比較狀語從句中的省略。
I’m taller than he.(=... than he is tall.)我比他高。
The higher the temperature, the greater the pressure.
(=...the temperature is, ... the pressure is.)
溫度越高,壓力越大。
3)某些虛擬語氣的句子可以省略should。虛擬條件句有時可以省略if,從句使用倒裝。

(=... that he should study...)
我建議他出國之前學(xué)習(xí)更多英語。
Were I you, I would go with her.
(=If I were you, ...)
如果我是你,我會和她一起去。
4)賓語從句中的連接詞that和限制性定語從句中作賓語的關(guān)系代詞that, which, whom常可省略。
I think(that)you are wrong. 我認(rèn)為你是錯誤的。
She is the woman(who/whom/that)we are talking about.
她就是我們正在談?wù)摰哪俏慌俊?/p>
(2)并列句的省略
為使句子簡潔,在無損句子完整的前提下常省略相同成分。
He often regards English as easy and(he often regards)French as difficult.
他經(jīng)常認(rèn)為英語簡單,法語難。
I could have stayed home, but I didn’t(stay home).
我原本可以待在家里,但是我沒有。
(3)(簡單句)習(xí)慣省略
1)對話語境中前后省略。
—How are you? 你好嗎?
—(I’m)Fine. 很好。
2)介詞in, from等在搭配中的省略。
He spends his evening(in)studying Chinese. 他晚上學(xué)習(xí)漢語。
They are busy(in)cleaning the room. 他們正忙著打掃房間。

我們可以阻止他們挪動這個笨重的箱子。
類似省略情況還有:

· succeed(in)doing sth. 成功地做了某事
· have difficulty(in)doing sth. 做某事有困難
· have no trouble(in)doing sth. 做某事很順利
· keep sb.(from)doing sth. 阻止某人做某事
· prevent sb.(from)doing sth. 阻止某人做某事
3)省略不定式符號to,不定式作動詞make/let以及感官動詞的賓語補足語時要省略to,但變成被動語態(tài)不能省略。
The boss made the workers work all day and all night. 老板讓這些工人日夜工作。
The workers were made to work all day and all night. 工人們被迫日夜工作。
4)在密切聯(lián)系的語境中,為避免重復(fù),作賓語或賓語補足語的不定式只保留to。
Don’t touch anything unless your teacher tells you to.
除非老師要求,否則不要碰任何東西。
—Did you invite him to the party? 你邀請他參加聚會了嗎?
—Yes, I’d tried to, but he refused to. 是的,我竭力邀請他,但是他拒絕了。
2. 替代
替代有三種:名詞性替代,動詞性替代和分句性替代。
(1)名詞性替代常用one, it, that, those, the same和人稱代詞或物主代詞。

(4)關(guān)于替代詞so
so用于替代賓語從句的分句,表示說話者贊同上述情況。適用于這種情況的表示看法、意見等的動詞有think, believe, expect, suppose, imagine, guess, say, hope, fear, be afraid等。
think so, believe so, except so等變?yōu)榉穸ㄐ问接袃煞N途徑:
1)用動詞的否定形式。
2)用not代替so。
但be afraid so, fear so, hope so等變?yōu)榉穸ㄐ问街挥玫?種方法。
注意
與so有關(guān)的兩個句型:
① 表示說話者贊同上述事實:So+主語+連系動詞(助動詞或情態(tài)動詞)。
—It was cold yesterday. 昨天挺冷。
—So it was. 的確冷。
② 表示上述情況也適用于另一主語的句型
· 通用句型:so it is(was)with+另一主語。

他是個農(nóng)民。他的弟弟也是。
· 只用于肯定情況的句型:So+連系動詞(助動詞或情態(tài)動詞)+另一主語。

我喜歡這本書,我妻子也喜歡。
· 否定情況則使用:Neither(Nor)+連系動詞(助動詞或情態(tài)動詞)+另一主語。
