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be afraid, expect, forget, hope, intend, like, love, mean, prefer, refuse, seem, try, want, wish 等后边例如：I asked him to see the film, but he didn’t want to.A. 在have, need, ought, be going, used 等后例如：I didn’t want to go there, but I had to.B. 在某些形容词glad, happy, pleased, delighted等后例如：—Will you join us?—I should love to.C. 如不定式中有be, have, have been, 则常保留be, have, have been。

例如：—Are you a sailor?—No, but I used to be.—He hasn’t finished yet.—Well, he ought to have.但是， (1) 当前面句子中出现的是复合助动词时，在省略句中只需保留一个—You wouldn’t have won if I hadn’t helped you.—I would, I think.(2) 当后一个句子中的助动词不同于前句的助动词时，则应重复例如：—I think Mary should be told.—She has been.(3) 当be 和have 作实义动词时，其后的有关成分可以省去例如：—I am tired.—I am, too.但其它动词则不可以这样例如：Do you like the play?不可以回答：Yes, I like. 而应该说: Yes, I like it / I do.2. 并列句中的省略如果后一个句中含有与前面一个句子相同的部分，我们通常将此予以省略具体地说，有下面三种情况：7) 相同主语或宾语的省略例如：He sang and (he) played the guitar. （省略主语）John washed (his own shirt) and ironed his own shirt. （省略宾语）8) 相同谓语的省略。

例如：I haven’t read this book yet, but I will (read it) later.Some books are to be tasted, others (are) to be swallowed, and some few (are) to be chewed and digested.但如果be, have 和do 在前一个句中作主要动词，而在后一个分句中用作助动词，这时后一个分句中的助动词不可以省去例如：Jim was late and was explaining himself.Jane has a good memory and has recited all the poems we taught her last night.9) 相同表语的省略例如：Peter has recently become (a hard-working student), and his brother always was, a hard-working student.3. 主从句中的省略10) 定语从句中作宾语的关系代词that, which, whom常可以省略；当先行词是time, reason, place是作状语的关系副词when, why, where也可省去。

例如：This is the first time (when) he had trouble with the boss.11) 宾语从句中的省略在以疑问代词和疑问副词引导的宾语从句中，如该宾语从句涉及的是上下文所谈的内容，有时可以省去宾语从句中除疑问词以外的部分，而意思不受影响例如：The doctor believed something was wrong with Mike’s chest and he was trying to find out what (was wrong with Mike’s chest).— You promised to buy a new dress for Mary.—Yes, I did. But I didn’t say when (I would buy it).12) 一般状语从句中的省略1) 如果状语从句中的主语与主句的主语相同，而谓语又含有动词be（包括连系动词和助动词），这时可以把从句的主语和be动词一同省去例如：While (I was) walking along the street, I heard my name called.Though (he was) tired, the little girl kept on studying.(2) 当从句的主语和主句的宾语一致时，间或也有这样的省略。

Her father told her to be careful when crossing the street.(3) 用so 或not 代替上文内容，用if so / not的省略句式:Get up early tomorrow. If not, you will miss the first bus.13) 比较状语从句中的省略(4) 如从句中含有与主句相同的成分，通常仅保留参与比较的部分（即：比较的另一方），省略其它成分例如：Steam takes up more space than water (takes).We are more confident than (we have) ever (been).(5) 如从句中含有先行主语it时，通常省略it 和其指代部分（名词性从句或不定式）例如：He spent more money than (it) was intended (that he should spend).You arrived earlier than (it was) usual / necessary (for you to arrive).(6) 比较状语从句中的宾语一般情况下不可省略，如：James enjoyed the movie more than Susan enjoyed it. 不能省略it。

但是，当谓语动词为动词替代词do时，宾语可以省略例如：He speaks English as well as his teacher does.Ellipsis单项选择1. —Alice, why didn’t you come yesterday? —I ________, but I had an unexpected visitor.A. had B. would C. was going to D. did2.
