一、省略连词if
有时可将条件从句的连词if省略,但此时应用倒装句型,即将从句中的were, should, had 等提到句首。如:
Were I Tom, I would refuse. 如果我是汤姆,我会拒绝。
I will go, should it be necessary. 假若有必要,我会去的。
Had it not been for the bad weather we would have arrived in time. 若不是天气坏,我们就准时到达了。
【注意】
① 若条件从句为否定句,否定词not应置于主语之后,而不能与were, should, had 等缩略成Werent, Shouldnt, Hadnt而置于句首。
② 有时省略if后提前的had不是助动词。如:
Had I time, I would come. 假若我有时间,我会来的。(=If I had time)
二、省略条件句的主语和其后的动词be
若主从句主语一致,且谓语部分包含有动词be,通常可将主语和动词be省略。如:
If repaired earlier, the tractor would not have broken down. 要是早点儿修一下,拖拉机就不会抛锚了。(=If it had been repaired earlier)
三、省略it+be
If necessary, I would send more farm-hands to help you. 如果需要的话我会派更多的民工去帮你。(=If it was necessary, I would)
四、省略整个条件从句
这样的省略通常需要借助一定的上下文,即省略条件从句后,所剩下的主句的意思在一定的上下文中意思是清楚的。如:
I might see her personally. It would be better. 我可以亲自去看她,这样好一些。(=If I saw her personally, it would be better.)
