想要学好外语怎么能不知道英语中的省略呢?下面就让小编为大家详解一下吧。
为了避免重复，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)省掉主语(多限于少数现成说法)
Thank you for your help.谢谢你的帮助。
See you tomorrow.明天见。
2)省掉谓语动词和表语等
a)省掉谓语动词
Some of us study Russian，others English.我们有的学俄语，有的学英语。(others后省掉study)
He got up earlier than I today.他今天起得比我早。(I后省掉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 ***广场的右边是人民大会堂，左边是中国历史博物馆。
(On the left后省掉stands)
b)省掉连系动词
Ma Lin is a bus-driver，his wife a conductor.马林是女共汽车司机，他的妻子是售票员。(his wife后省掉is)
His face is tanned and his hands big and strong.他的脸晒得很黑，他的双手大而有力。(hands后省掉are)
Gold is more expensive than silver.金子比银子更贵重。(silver后省掉is)
She is as tall as I.她和我一般高。(I后省掉am)
Are you ready? -Yes，I am.你准备好了吗?——是，准备好了。(am后省掉ready)
3)同时省掉句子几个部分有时好几个句子成分都被省掉，特别在表示比较的状语从句中，在对疑问句的简略回答中，以及在反意疑
问句或选择疑问句中。如：
In winter it is colder in Beijing than in Guangzhou.北京的冬天比广州冷。(than后省略 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价，也要完成
她父亲未完成的`事业。(the cost之后省略主语和谓语动词it was)
When did you read the play?——Long age.(= I read it long ago.)你什么时候读的这个剧本?——很久以前。
Have you ever been to xinjiang? ——Never.(= I have never been there.)你到过新疆吗?——从来没有。
You are a repair worker，aren't you?(=aren't you a repair worker?)你是修理工，不是吗?
Has he gone or not?(= Has he gone or has he not gone?)他走了没有?
[注一]在if, when，though，as，as if(好像)等连词引导的从句中，如果从句中的主要动词是be，可以将主语和动词be省掉。
如：When you do this exercise，make changes in the sentence structure when (if) necessary.做这个练习时，必要时可以改动
句子结构。(when或it之后省掉it is)
He is very good at painting，though very young.(= though he is very young)他虽然年纪很轻，但很会画画。
The boy looked as if afraid of nothing·( = as if he were afraid of nothing)那男孩看来好像什么都不怕。
上述例句中的省略从句，除if (when) necessary等成语外，其主语均须和主句的主语相同。
[注二]在下面的句子中，动词不定式符号to的后面省去了动词原形及其以后的部分。如：
You may go with them if you want to.你愿意的话，也可以和他们一起去。(to后省去go with them)
Will you be able to come? -I'd love to. But I'm busy.你来吗?——我倒很想来，可是我现在有事。(to后省去come)
