[摘要]状语从句省略可以避免句子重复,突出重点词语,使句子结构紧凑,显得言简意赅。一般当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致时,经过一定的变化可以把状语从句的主语和谓语全部或部分省略。当从句的主语与主句的主语不一致时,省略之后,应在省略好的句子前加上原从句的主语。

状语从句省略可以避免重复,突出重点词语,使句子显得言简意赅。在历年高考英语试题中,关于状语从句省略的问题屡见不鲜。下面结合多年的高三英语教学经验,谈两点笔者个人在授课中对状语从句省略问题的处理技巧,供同仁们参考。
一、从句主语与主句主语一致时状语从句的省略
当从句的主语与主句的主语一致时,可以将从句中的连词和主语先去掉,然后逐个抄从句成分,碰见基本谓语动词省略为以下情况即可。(注意:连词可以不省略。)
1.主句从句主语一致且主句从句动作没有先后顺序,省略为:doing...(表示主动);done...(表示被动)例如:
原句1:When he was a little boy, he helped his father on a farm.
省略后: (When) Being a little boy, he helped his father on a farm.(表示主动)
原句2:When it is seen from the top of the hill, the city looks very beautiful.
省略后:(When) Seen from the top of the hill, the city looks very beautiful. (表示被动)
2.主句从句主语一致,但从句动作发生在主句动作之前,省略为: having done...= after doing...(表示主动);having been done...= after being done...(表示被动)例如:
原句1:After I had finished it, I handed in my paper to our teacher.
省略后:Having finished it, I handed in my paper to our teacher.
= After finishing it, I handed in my paper to our teacher.(表示主樱
原句2:After my paper had been finished, my paper was handed in to our teacher.
省略后:Having been finished, my paper was handed in to our teacher.
= After being finished, my paper was handed in to our teacher. (表示被动)
二、从句主语与主句主语不一致时状语从句的省略
当从句的主语与主句的主语不一致时,省略做法和上面相同,但必须在省略好的句子前加上原从句的主语(如果有连词就加在连词之后)。
1.主句从句主语不一致,主句从句表示的动作无先后顺序,且从句动作表主动关系,省略为:从句主语+doing...例如:
原句:If time permits, we will go the park tomorrow.
省略后:Time permitting, we will go the park tomorrow.
2.主句从句主语不一致,从句动作发生在主句动作之前,且从句动作表被动关系,省略为:从句主语+ having been done...(或 after +从句主语+being done...)例如:
原句:After everything had been taken into account, we started.
省略后:Everything having been taken into account, we started.
= After everything being taken into account, we started.
注意:①如果状语从句为否定句,其省略先按肯定句处理,其次在省好的doing/done/having done/having been done之前加上not。例如:
原句:As I didn’t know the answer, I asked the teacher.
省略后:(As)Not knowing the answer, I asked the teacher.
②如果省后形式为being+adj,通常将being省略,留下adj单独作状语,这也是高考中的一个热点。例如:
原句: When he was tired but sound, the missing boy returned home.
省略后:Tired but sound, the missing boy returned home.
③状语从句的省略形式也可以放在主句之后。例如:
原句:When he was a little boy,he helped his father on a farm.
省略后:He helped his father on a farm(when) being a little boy.
当然,这只是解决状语从句省略问题的基本方法,面对具体问题,要用相应的办法去处理。
