想要學好外語怎麼能不知道英語中的省略呢?下面就讓小編為大家詳解一下吧。
為了避免重複，句子，中某些部分常可省略。句子常可省略的有下列各部分：
1)省掉主語(多限於少數現成說法)
Thank you for your help.謝謝你的幫助。
See you tomorrow.明天見。
2)省掉謂語動詞和表語等
a)省掉謂語動詞
Some of us study Russian，others English.我們有的學俄語，有的學英語。(others後省掉study)
He got up earlier than I today.他今天起得比我早。(I後省掉got up)
On the right hand of Tian'anmen Square stands the Great Hall of the People，and on the left，the Museum of
Chinese history ***廣場的右邊是人民大會堂，左邊是中國歷史博物館。
(On the left後省掉stands)
b)省掉連繫動詞
Ma Lin is a bus-driver，his wife a conductor.馬林是女共汽車司機，他的妻子是售票員。(his wife後省掉is)
His face is tanned and his hands big and strong.他的臉晒得很黑，他的雙手大而有力。(hands後省掉are)
Gold is more expensive than silver.金子比銀子更貴重。(silver後省掉is)
She is as tall as I.她和我一般高。(I後省掉am)
Are you ready? -Yes，I am.你準備好了嗎?——是，準備好了。(am後省掉ready)
3)同時省掉句子幾個部分有時好幾個句子成分都被省掉，特別在表示比較的狀語從句中，在對疑問句的簡略回答中，以及在反意疑
問句或選擇疑問句中。如：
In winter it is colder in Beijing than in Guangzhou.北京的冬天比廣州冷。(than後省略 it is)
She pledged herself to complete her father's unfinished task，whatever the cost.她立誓不管付出多大代價，也要完成
她父親未完成的`事業。(the cost之後省略主語和謂語動詞it was)
When did you read the play?——Long age.(= I read it long ago.)你什麼時候讀的這個劇本?——很久以前。
Have you ever been to xinjiang? ——Never.(= I have never been there.)你到過新疆嗎?——從來沒有。
You are a repair worker，aren't you?(=aren't you a repair worker?)你是修理工，不是嗎?
Has he gone or not?(= Has he gone or has he not gone?)他走了沒有?
[注一]在if, when，though，as，as if(好像)等連詞引導的從句中，如果從句中的主要動詞是be，可以將主語和動詞be省掉。
如：When you do this exercise，make changes in the sentence structure when (if) necessary.做這個練習時，必要時可以改動
句子結構。(when或it之後省掉it is)
He is very good at painting，though very young.(= though he is very young)他雖然年紀很輕，但很會畫畫。
The boy looked as if afraid of nothing·( = as if he were afraid of nothing)那男孩看來好像什麼都不怕。
上述例句中的省略從句，除if (when) necessary等成語外，其主語均須和主句的主語相同。
[注二]在下面的句子中，動詞不定式符號to的後面省去了動詞原形及其以後的部分。如：
You may go with them if you want to.你願意的話，也可以和他們一起去。(to後省去go with them)
Will you be able to come? -I'd love to. But I'm busy.你來嗎?——我倒很想來，可是我現在有事。(to後省去come)
