英語(yǔ)句子中的省略.doc

一、省略句的概說(shuō)省略句是我們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)過(guò)程中能不斷體驗(yàn)收獲和趣味的一種慣用手法，無(wú)論是說(shuō)話還是寫(xiě)作，都要求生動(dòng)活潑，簡(jiǎn)明扼要。按照語(yǔ)法的分析, 有時(shí)句子應(yīng)具備的成分出于修辭上的需要, 會(huì)缺少一個(gè)或幾個(gè)句子語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)所必要的語(yǔ)言成分，但在一定語(yǔ)境中可獨(dú)立存在，仍能表達(dá)其意義完整并發(fā)揮交流功能的句子則被稱為省略句。省略的結(jié)果不僅能使句子結(jié)構(gòu)更加精練，而且可起到連接上下文并使相鄰詞語(yǔ)達(dá)到強(qiáng)調(diào)的作用。英語(yǔ)省略句用詞簡(jiǎn)練, 表意簡(jiǎn)練, 往往收到一定的修飾效果, 句中的某些成分因上下文已提供了充分明確信息或前文已出現(xiàn)過(guò)的某些成分，為了避免不必要的重復(fù)，也不會(huì)引起言語(yǔ)上的誤解，并可突出中心詞，從而使整文緊密連接的一種修辭手法，其語(yǔ)法現(xiàn)象就是省略。舉個(gè)例子：Glad to see you. 這是個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句，主語(yǔ)I和謂語(yǔ)am可以省略。省略的形式從單詞、短語(yǔ)到分句等都可省略, 而且各有其一定的銜接關(guān)系。二、省略句的分類（一）句中成分的省略1. 主語(yǔ)的省略Beg your pardon. （我）請(qǐng)你原諒。（Beg前省略了主語(yǔ)I）Come on! 得了吧（你）！（Come前省略了主語(yǔ)You）2. 謂語(yǔ)的省略John is a lawyer，his wife (is) a cleaner. Some of us study Japanese，others (study) English. 3. 表語(yǔ)的省略She was a lover of sports as(因?yàn)? she had been in her youth(在她年輕的時(shí)候).（had been后面省略了a lover of sports）4. 賓語(yǔ)的省略Lets do the cases.
