二、省略(Elipsis)
省略和替代一一样,也是避免重复的一一 种常用手段。两者常常互相替换使用,有 的语言学家甚至把省略称为“零位替 代”(zero-substitution)。英语省略的类型很 多,有名词性省略、动词性省略、分句性 省略;有句法方面的省略,也有情景方面的 省略。在并列结构中,英语常常省略前面 已出现过的词语,而汉语则往往重复这些 词语,如:
1.5名词 (enough, the same,
the kind, the former, the latter)
I don‘t want any more coffee. I ’ve had enough.
我不想再要咖啡了,我的咖啡够了。 I wish to have a cup of milk with sugar .Won't you have the same? 我想要一杯加糖的牛奶。你不想要一样的吗? American food is not the same as the English kind. 美国的食物和英国的食物不完全一样。

4.句法方面的省略: 英语中的由when、while、 until等引 导的时间状语从句、if、 unless等引导的条件状语从句、although、 though等引 导的让步 状语从句中都有大量的省略句。如: 1) When (he was) at college, he often went to the library. (他)在大学的时候,他经常去图书馆。 2) While (you are) crossing the street, look out for cars. (你)过马路时, 注意车辆。 3) Don't leave unless\until (you are) told to. 不要离开,除非\直到有人告诉(你)。 4) The prospects for cure, though (they're ) still distant, are brighter. 治愈的前景尽管仍然遥远,但已经明朗些了。 5)虽然他懂法语,但是他还是用英语写他的论文。 Although knowing French, he wrote his essay in English.

1.名词性替代(nominal substitution)
名词性替代是以名词性替代词替代一个名词词组或它的中心 词,这种替代现象叫做名词性替代。
这类词如:第三(非)人称代词、指示代词(this, that, these, those)、关系代词(who, whom, whose, that, which)、 连接代词(who, where, what, which)、不定代词 (both, either, one / ones, much, other, another, some, any)以及名词enough, the same, the kind, the former, the latter 等。英语常用这类替代词来避免重复,汉语 则较常重复其所代替的名词(词组)。
2.动词性替代(verbal substitution)
替代词主要有: 代动词do, 复合代动词do so, do it, do that, do this, do the same,以及替代句 型so+do+主语,so+主+do, so+be+主语,so+ 主语+be等 汉语也有替代的方式,但也常常重复其所代 替的动词(词组)。
