在英语语法中,当一个句子中含有多个宾语从句时,可以省略一些从句的"that",使句子更简洁。但是,第一个从句的"that"不能省略,且可以省略的情况通常是后面的从句和前面的从句有相同的主语。
下面是一个例子:
原句:I hope that you can come to my birthday party and that you will bring a gift.
省略后:I hope you can come to my birthday party and bring a gift.
在这个例子中,第二个宾语从句的that被省略了,这使得整个句子更加简洁明了。
那么,什么情况下可以省略宾语从句中的that呢?一般来说,以下两种情况可以省略:
- 第一个从句的that不能省略。例如:
原句:I know that you are smart and that you will do well on the exam.
错误省略:I know you are smart and you will do well on the exam.
正确省略:I know you are smart and will do well on the exam.
- 后面的从句和前面的从句有相同的主语。例如:
原句:She said that she loves me and that she wants to be with me.
省略后:She said she loves me and wants to be with me.
