新概念英語第三冊語法精粹(五):代替與省略
    英語中,為了避免不必要的重復(fù),經(jīng)常用so, not, to, do, does 代替前面出現(xiàn)的動詞或相關(guān)內(nèi)容。
    如:He translated the article better than I did. (did代替wrote it)
    — Doyou think she isclever?
    — I think so. (so代替 she is clever)
    (1) 從上兩例中看出,do / does / did 代替動詞。
    (2) "so 與 not" 代替某個詞、短語、句子等,通常用于hope, think, believe, expect, suppose, be afraid, fear, imagine, etc后作賓語。
    E.g. — Is it correct?
    — I'm afraid not. (not correct)
    (3) "to" 用作不定式,常跟隨下列動詞:want, mean, hope, expect, refuse, seem, intend, be, afraid, etc.
    E.g. I asked him to go to the party, but he refused to. (go to the party)
    (4) "do so, do that, do it" 用來代替動態(tài)動詞,而不能代靜態(tài)動詞。
    Eg. — He gave up studying English.
    — Why did he do so? (= give up studying English)
    — The dish tastes nice.
    — Yes, so it does. (tastes nice)
    (此句不能用it does it 或 it does so, 因taste屬靜態(tài)動詞。)
    (5) 為使語言精煉,避免不必要的重復(fù),對話中常用省略形式。
    E.g. — He is thinking of buying a car?
    — Is he?(這里,“thinking of buying a car”被省略了。)
    — Will he come back in time?
    — Perhaps.(省略了he will come back in time.)
