动词不定式的省略 为了避免重复,我们常常把作宾语、宾补和谓语动词的一部分的不定式省略,只保留动词不定式的符号to。现将常见省略不定式的几种情况通过实例加以简析,供大家参考:
(1)—How about coming to my dormitory for a party? —I’d love to if it doesn’t make you so much trouble. (到我寝室参加聚会怎么样?----只要你不嫌麻烦,当然好啦)。这里的知识点是:在hope, like, love, promise, want, wish等词后作宾语的不定式常省略。再如:
You could go outside for a party if you want to. (如果你想去参加聚会,你就去吧)
She can get a chance of interview if she hopes to.(如果她喜欢这个职位,可以给一个面试的机会)
—How about going for a picnic the day after tomorrow? —I’d like to, but I have no permission from my parents.(后天一起去野餐怎么样?------我倒是很愿意去呢,但是得不到我父母的允许啊!)哎,小编不禁感叹,这位小朋友也是我小时候一样,干巴巴望着其他孩儿们玩耍。
(2)please do not stop the music until I ask you to.(我没通知你关掉音乐的话,请不要关。)这里涉及到的知识点就是 :在allow, ask, tell 等词后作宾语补足语的不定式常省略。再如:
Don’t touch the exhibits unless the assistants allow you to. (没有服务员的允许,你绝对不可以触摸这些展览品)。
Don’t water the flowers on the balcony until the owner tells you to.(=阳台上的花,主人没有叫浇水之前别动它)
(3)To be honest,he didn’t want to hand in his homework at all, but he had to. 在be able to, be going to, have to, need to, enough to, used to等后的不定式需省略。
如: If you don’t have any point of view during the meeting , you don’t need to.(如果会上你没有什么意见或者想说的,那你可以不用说)
the little girl doesn’t go out at night, because she was afraid to. (这个小女孩因为害怕,所以晚上一般都不出门)在afraid, glad, happy, pleased, sorry等词后作状语的不定式常省略。
