什么是省略(Ellipsis)
在非正式对话里,当省略的部分意思很明显时,我们常常会把重复的字词省掉。
连接词后面省略
用 and、but、or 连接时,不用重复主语:
- We had a late dinner and [we] went to bed.
- Once the kids have left for school, I read a book or [I] do some baking.
📌 如果重复的主语搭配 be 动词,可以把主语和 be 一起省略:
- Clare is working a lot at the moment and [she's] getting up really early.
⚠️ 这个省略不适用于其他连接词,例如 before、after、because、when、while:
- ❌ We watch TV after have dinner. → ✅ We watch TV after we have dinner.
to 后面省略
可以省掉 to 后面重复的动词短语:
- A: Have you tried that new restaurant yet?
- B: No, I wanted to [try that new restaurant], but it's on the other side of town.
助动词和情态动词后面省略
可以省掉助动词/情态动词后重复的部分动词短语:
- I hadn't noticed it, but my son had [noticed it].
- They were getting ice creams because I said they could [get ice creams].
省略主语代词
当很明显在讲谁/什么时,可以省掉代词:
- [It/That] Sounds familiar!
- [It] Wouldn't have occurred to me.
省略主语和助动词
最常见于非正式问句,尤其搭配 want 和 have got:
- [Do you] Want some coffee?
- [Have you] Got a lot of homework?
只省略助动词(保留主语)
其他非正式问句里,可以只省略 be、have、do:
- [Are] You going to Gina's party?
- [Have] You got a minute to talk?
- [Does] She eat out every day?
- [Will] You give me a ring?
⚠️ 这个规则不适用于主语是 I 或 it:
- ❌ I given you an idea? → ✅ Have I given you an idea?

📌 before、after、because、when、while 这类连接词后面不能省略主语,只有 and/but/or 才可以。
❌ I given you an idea? ✅ Have I given you an idea?
📌 主语是 I 或 it 时,不能只省略助动词,一定要保留。
