为了避免重复,使语言简练紧凑,在不损害句子结构或引起误解的情况下,往往省略一个或多个句子成分或词语。今天给大家分享了雅思阅读省略句的省略现象,赶紧来看看吧!
雅思阅读省略句的省略现象
文章要做到简洁,省略法(Ellipsis)是必用的。
英语句子中的某些成分因上下文已提供了充分明确的信息而不必出现,或前面已出现的某些成分,为了避免不必要的重复,可以不再出现而不致引起误解或歧义,这种语言现象就叫作省略。例如:Gladto see you. 这是个简单句,主语I和谓语am可以省略。再如:London is on the Themes,and Paris on theSeine.这是一个并列复合句,后半句省略了谓语动词is,因为前面已经出现过,后面不必重复。英译汉时,为了使译文明确达意,符合汉语习惯,要在正确理解原文的基础上,对原文中省略的部分或保留或补全,或对其进行灵活处理。
有人将英语句子中的省略现象归纳为21种,本章只涉及在英语阅读中常遇到的比较复杂的省略现象。
1. The transcription needs a certain amount of editing,as even if thecomputer can tell the difference between words of similar sounds such as writeand right,it is still not yet able to do the work as well as an intelligentsecretary.
第一层:The transcription 主 needs 谓 a certain amount of 定 editing,宾 as even ifthe computer can tell the difference between words of similar 状语从句 sounds suchas write and right, it is still not yet able to do the work as well as anintelligent secretary.
第二层:(状语从句)as 引 even if the computer can tell the difference between wordsof similar sounds such as write and right,状语从句1 it 主 is 系 still not yet 状 able 表to do the work 宾 as well as an inte- lligent secretary . 状语从句2
第三层:(状语从句1)even if 引 the computer 主 can tell 谓 the difference 宾 betweenwords of similar sounds 定 such as write and right 同位语
(状语从句2)as well as 引 an intelligent secretary 主
要点 本句中as引导原因状语从句,其中该句还带有一个由even if引导的让步状语从句;介词短语between words of similarsounds修饰difference,such as write and right修饰words,as wellas……为同等比较状语从句,其中省略了与主句相同的部分。intelligent:有才智的;理解力强的。
译文 译稿需要一定量的编辑工作,因为,即使计算机能够区别同音异义词,如write和right,它仍不可能把这项工作做得像有思维能力的秘书那样好。
雅思阅读的信号词有哪些
1、表达客观结论findings
例词:indicate that, suggest that, find out, conclude that, point out, reportthat, demonstrate that…
考点:But Byers points out that the benefits of increased exercise disappearrapidly after training stops, so any improvement in endurance resulting fromjuvenile play would be lost by adulthood.(C4, P50, T38配对题)
解析:配对题目是典型的人名和成果的配对,我们到文章中定位人名就比较好找到答案,可是人名出现的地方就一定是考点么?不见得。但是一旦表达客观结论的信号词与人名同时出现时,就是考点出没的地方了。这类观点信号词在雅思阅读考试中还是比较容易找到,也就比较容易定位的。
2、表达主观观点statements, opinions
例词:say, believe, argue that, maintain that, claim…
考点:The UCSF researchers maintain that the simplest and most cost-effectiveaction is to establish smoke-free work places, schools and public places. (C3,P20, T27分类题)
解析:这道分类题考察区分a finding和an opinion.表达个人观点(anopinion)带有一定的主观性,所用的信号词显然与客观事实发现(afinding)的有所区别。除了上面列举的例词之外,很多表达主观想法的雅思阅读考试词汇都可以做这样的判断。
3、特殊符号
例词: ‘word’, ——, word…
考点:In very significant cases of role change, e.g. from a soldier in theranks to officer, from bachelor to married man, the change of role has to have avery obvious sign, hence rituals.(C3, P48, T37完成句子)
解析:文中斜体的部分其实就是考察的考点,不知道这个词语的意思没有关系,只要能判断,需要填写的单词是斜体部分,照抄过来就可以轻松拿分。
雅思阅读有哪些必备关系词
1. 表转折:
but, however, yet, in fact, on the other hand;
A, but B: 否定A而肯定B,则A,B两部分内容是相反的。
例如:Computerized data storage and electronic mail were to have heralded thepaper less office. But, contrary to expectations, paper consumption throughoutthe world shows no sign of abating .
解释:paper less 表示负向,则but后no sign of abating 表示正向,所以abating是表示负向的词。
总结:此种方法有利于在不认识单词的前提下读懂句子意思,很有帮助,但一定要练习,而且要敏感。
练习:The marginal costs of generating electricity from nuclear energy may betiny, but , as the technology now stands, huge and uncertain costs are involvedin building the power stations, dealing with spent fuel, anddecommissioning.
2. 表让步:
(1)although:although A, B:尽管有A,B还是出现了(A,B互不影响)若A是正,那B就是负的。
例如:Although the world regards Asia as the focus of an economic andindustrial miracle, without adequate supplies of food, Lampe says, chaos couldeasily result in many countries.
解释:miracle奇迹,表正向,则but后的chaos是一个表负向的词。
(2)while:五个含义:
A. although:虽然,尽管
B. as long as:只要
C. whereas, but:表转折
D.when:当。。。的时候

解释:原文在本段之前讲鸭子的好,在本段之后讲它的不好。
(3)Albeit:尽管,虽然
例如:Albeit true but not now.
3. 表并列:A and B
A...and B...
(1) 并列双方性质相同;
(2) 当A、B都比较复杂时,应该从最后一项找起,根据B的形式到前文找到A
例如:The modern city consists of monstrous edifices and of dark, narrowstreets full of petrol fumes and toxic gases, torn by the noise of the taxicabs,lorries and buses, and thronged ceaselessly by great crowds.
解释:此句话中共有四个and ,第一个and 并列of 结构,第二个and 并列fumes和toxic,第三个and并列taxicabs,lorries 和buses, 第四个and并列full of …, torn by… 和thronged…
4 表递进:没有转折的意思,后项承接上文。
A furthermore B
A moreover B
A besides B
A为正向,B 仍为正向。
5 表顺序或过程:
(1) first, then, next, later on, finally
(2) 1st, 2nd, 3rd…
(3) in the first place, in the second place…
(4) before…, after…

问题是,Australia缺什么?
8. 例如:A for example = :=—— B
A是理论,B是解释
9. 因果关系:
(1) 大因果关系/分句间因果关系(即:原因、结果是两句话)
because, in that, as, since, for, so(that), therefore, thus, hence, as aresult
(2) 小因果关系/句内因果关系(在一句话中,通过v.来表达)
例如:Increased air temperature brought about higher sea levels.
Cause, lead to, result in/ from, contribute to, pose, help, create, affect,influence, attribute to.
Attribute A to B, 把A归因于B (因为B所以A)
