谈谈状语从句的省略

谈谈状语从句的省略

为了简洁起见，有的状语从句(如时间状语从句、条件状语从句等)有时可省略从句的主语和部分谓语(尤其是当从句主语与主句主语一致，且从句谓语包括有动词be时)

She fell asleep while (she was) doing her homework. 她在做作业时睡着了。

He kept silent when (he was) asked why he was late. 问他为什么迟到，他一言不发。

Although (it was) built 100 years ago, the bridge is very strong. 虽然建于100年前，但这桥还是很牢固。

有些由if构成的省略结构，已属固定短语，如if any, if necessary, if possible, if not, if so等

If necessary, ring me at home. 如果必要，可以打电话到我家找我。
