省略在虚拟条件句中的应用
为了提高参加AEAS考试的同学的英语水平,澳大利亚初中入学考试网特别为同学们带来一些考试技巧。这次介绍的是省略在虚拟条件句中的应用。
一、省略连词if
有时可将条件从句的连词if省略,但此时应用倒装句型,即将从句中的were, should, had 等提到句首。如:
Were I you, I would stay. 倘若我是你, 那我就留下。
Should I be free tomorrow, I will come. 万一我明天有空,我会来。
Had it not been for the bad weather we would have arrived in time. 若不是天气坏,我们就准时到达了。
注:① 若条件从句为否定句,否定词not应置于主语之后,而不能与were, should, had 等缩略成weren't, shouldn't, hadn't而置于句首。
② 有时省略if后提前的had不是助动词。如:
Had I time, I would come. 假若我有时间,我会来的。(=If I had time…)
二、省略从主语和动词be
若主从句主语一致,且谓语部分包含有动词be,通常可将主语和动词be省略。如:
If repaired earlier, the tractor would not have broken down. 要是早点儿修一下,拖拉机就不会抛锚了。(=If it had been repaired earlier…)
三、省略“it+be”
If necessary, I would send more farm-hands to help you. 如果需要的话我会派更多的民工去你。
四、省略整个条件从句
这样的省略通常需要借助一定的上下文,即省略条件从句后,所剩下的主句的意思在一定的上下文中意思是清楚的。如:
I might see her personally. It would be better. 我可以亲自去看她,这样好一些。(=…If I saw her personally, it would be better.)
以上就是澳大利亚初中入学考试网关于省略在虚拟条件句中的应用的全部内容,AEAS考试难度还是比较大因此建议同学们做足准备准备工作提高英语能力,制定科学合理的备考策略,循序渐进的提高英语实力!更多AEAS备考资料请持续关注澳大利亚初中入学考试网。
