The use of ellipsis in English

省略是一种避免重复、突出新信息并使上下文紧密连接的语法手段。与汉语-样，英语中的省略也较为常见。

一般来说，只要不损害结构或引起歧义，能省略的地方就可以省略。

省略的意义：可使语言更加简洁，意思更加明确，句子结构更加紧凑。

What is ellipsis？

省略是指省去可以根据上下文语境或情景语境恢复的句子成分。英语中存在多种多样的省略现象，句子中既可以省略主语、谓语、谓语的一部分或宾语，也可以一起省略主语和谓语。省略在口语和书面语中都非常普遍。省略的使用包括但不局限于以下情况:

一. 简单句的省略

省略主语：祈使句中主语通常省略; 其它省略主语多限于少数现成的说法。

(I)Thank you for your help.

(It)Doesn ’t matter.

(I) Beg your pardon

省略主谓或主谓语的一部分

(There is) No smoking.

(Is there) Anything wrong?

(Will you) Have a smoke?

Why (do you) not say hello to him?

省略作宾语的不定式短语，只保留to,但如果该宾语是动词be或完成时态，则须在之后加上be或have:

-Are you going there?

-Yes, I ’d like to(go there).

He didn ’t give me the chance, though he had promised to (give me the chance).

-Are you an engineer?

-No, but I want to be (an engineer).

-He hasn ’t finished the task yet.

-Well, he ought to have (finished the task).

省略表语

-Are you thirsty? - Yes, I am (thirsty).

His brother isn ’t lazy, nor is his sister (lazy).

同时省略几个成分

Let ’s meet at the same place as (we met) yesterday.

--Have you finished your work?

--(I have) Not (finished my work) yet.

二. 主从复合句中的省略及其他情况的省略。

主句中有一些成分被省略

(I ’m) Sorry to hear you are ill.

(It ’s a)Pity that he missed such a good chance.

- Is he coming back tonight? -I think so.

- She must be busy now?

- If so, she can ’t go with us.

- Is she felling better today?

- I ’m afraid not.

- Do you think he will attend the meeting?
