英文寫作技巧之合理使用省略句

　　英國莎士比亞在他的名著《哈姆雷特》裡寫過這麼一句名言：Brevity is the soul of wit.言以簡潔為貴。，這句話的意思告訴我們，不管寫文章也好，說話也好，都要求生動活潑，簡單明瞭，因此，“簡潔”乃是一篇好文章的基本要求之一。下面是小編為您收集整理的，供大家參考!

　　一、文章要做到簡潔，省略法是必用的。合理恰當地使用省略句，不僅可以使文章精練、簡潔，而且會使文章更具文采和可讀性，使得讀者可以更有興趣的讀下去，在考試中也可以增加我們的寫作分數。例如：

　　1 He may be busy. If he’s busy, I’ll call later. If he is not busy, can I see him now?

　　→ He may be busy. If so, I’ll call later. If not, can I see him now?

　　他可能很忙，要是這樣，我以後再來拜訪。要是不忙，我現在可以見他嗎?

　　2 If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If it is not fine, we’ll not go.

　　→ If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If not, not.

　　如果天氣好，我們就去;如果天氣不好，我們就不去了。

　　3 She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t do so.

　　→ She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t.

　　她本可申請這份工作的，但她沒有。

　　4 It is a beautiful day, isn’t it?

　　→ Beautiful day, isn’t it?

　　今天天氣真好。

　　5 It is a pity we live so far from the sea.

　　→ Pity we live so far from the sea.

　　多麼可惜，我們住的離海那麼遠。

　　6 有時也可省略整個句子的主語和謂語,只保留次要成分.

　　She was poor but she was honest.

　　--Did you know anything about the accident?

　　--Not until you told me. = I didn’t know anything about it until you told me.
