牛津译林版高中英语选修八：Unit2TheUniversalLanguage语法

高中英语学习材料（灿若寒星*制作整理）Ellipsis（省略）一个句子中某些部分被省略掉了，这种情况在语法中被称作省略。

省略的目的也是为了避免重复，使语言精练。

大体上来说，被省略的部分是上文已出现过的词语或被省略的部分，并非上文出现的内容，但是在意义上是不言自明的。

1. 简单句中的省略1) 省略主语。

例如：“Get up.”（省略了主语you）（祈使句中的主语通常被省略。

）其它省略主语多限于少数现成的说法。

例如：Thank you for your help. （省略了主语I）Doesn’t matter. （省略了主语it）2) 省略主谓语或主谓语的一部分。

例如：No smoking. （省略了主谓语There is）Have a cup of tea? （省略了主语及谓语的助动词部分will you）3) 省略宾语。

例如：Do you know Mr. Smith?I don’t know. （省略了宾语him）4) 省略表语。

例如：— Are you hungry?— Yes, I am. （省略了表语hungry）5) 同时省略几个成分。

例如：— Are you feeling better now?— Much better. （省略了I am feeling … now）— Have you finished your work?— Not yet. （省略了I have … finished my work …）6) 其它省略结构。

例如：(1) 名词所有格所修饰的名词，表示住宅、店铺、教堂或上文已暗示或明确指出过的事物时，常常可以省略。

例如：We spent the weekend at the Smith’s.(2) What 和How 引导的感叹句中，常可省略主语it 和be动词。

例如：What a wonderful victory (it is) for her!(3) 不定式省略，单独使用不定式符号to代替动词不定式后被省略的动词，常在beafraid, expect, forget, hope, intend, like, love, mean, prefer, refuse, seem, try, want,wish 等后边。
