省略と代用
Ellipsis and substitution
so、not、do so、one/ones、短縮された不定詞、助動詞だけの返答を使って、繰り返しを避けましょう。
流暢な話し手は、聞き手がすでに知っている語をほとんど繰り返しません。Ellipsis(省略)は語を省くこと、substitution(代用)は語を so, not, one or do(so、not、one、do)のような短い語で置き換えることです。どちらも話し言葉や書き言葉をより自然にしますが、意味が明確に伝わる程度の情報は残さなければなりません。
| 手段 | 使い方 | 例 |
|---|---|---|
| so / not after hope, think, expect, be afraid | replace a whole clause | Will it rain? I hope not. / I'm afraid so. |
| do so | replace a verb phrase, formal | Anyone wishing to leave early may do so quietly. |
| one / ones | replace a countable noun | Shall I buy the red apples or the green ones? |
| Reduced infinitive with to | leave out the rest of an infinitive | I haven't visited Rome, but I'd love to. |
| Auxiliary only | leave out the main verb | Nadia enjoys running, and so does her brother. |
| Neither / nor + auxiliary | agree with a negative | Ravi hasn't read it, nor has Aiko. |
| the former / the latter | refer back to two items | The architect and the engineer worked together; the former designed the roof. |
think, believe, supposeとexpectの場合、否定の形は2つあります。I don't think soは I think not より一般的で、I hope notとI'm afraid notには別の形はありません。比較の一部を省くときは、助動詞を残します:Her first novel sold far better than her second did. ここでは did が繰り返される動詞 sold を置き換え、second の後の novel は省かれています。
- These shoes are too small. Do you have a bigger pair, or one in black?
- She promised to call, but she didn't, and I didn't expect her to.
- Will the museum be open on Sunday? I don't think so.
- She can play the piano, and her sister can too.
