大学英语四级翻译|作文突破:省略句(day3)
UNIT 1 基本技能篇(15天)Day 3 省略句
步:四级精彩套句展示
It is necessary that effective actions be taken to prevent this problem.
省略,在语言中,尤其在对话中是一种常见的现象,它可以使语气明了。英语里被省略部分一般可以在句子中补上。本句是省略should的虚拟语气,完整句为It is necessary that effective actions should be taken to prevent this problem. 这种对虚拟语气的省略在四级作文句子里面广为存在,
又如:It is hoped that great efforts should be directed to (expended on / focused on) finding (developing / improving)…中的should也可省略。
第二步:语法精讲
1. 简介
句子中的某一成分省略的现象,在语言当中广泛存在,汉语当中也有。比如:一班的学生比二班的多。本句中在“二班的”后面就省略了“学生”一词,因为根据语境,该词我们已经可以推理得知,在语言中为了避免麻烦,将其省略。
大家可能会说:“四级考试中我就担心字数凑不够,为什么还要学习省略呢?”字数的问题确实是我们必须面对的问题,但并不是四级考核的惟一标准。省略句的合理利用,会起到事半功倍的效果。首先,启用省略句虽然在字数上吃了点小亏,但是可以让句子更精炼流畅,可谓舍一而得十;另外,很多考生为了凑字数,啰里啰嗦,让评卷老师味同嚼蜡,这时你的省略句就可能会如一缕春风,好处自不用多言。
2. 四级必考句型
(1) Although many have tried, few have succeeded in attempts to .
【分析】本句中tried后的宾语可根据后半句的语义推测得知,所以可以省略,避免重复。
Although many have tried, few have succeeded in attempts to find perfect solutions.
(2) , be it , will bring a lot of happiness into our lives.
【分析】本句是一个超难句型,中间一节省略了whether和might,并进行了倒装,将“be it”恢复后应为whether it might be。Be it…,可译为“比方说”,用来给出更多细节。
The application of electric power, be it to light our rooms or to listen to music, will bring a lot of happiness to our lives.
(3) Christie stared angrily at her boss and turned away, as though to go out of the office.
【分析】as though引导方式状语从句,谓语常用虚拟语气,本句中主句的主语与从句的主语相同,故从句中的主语和谓语省略,即省略了she wanted;如果补全,即为:as though she wanted to go out of the office.
