一般来讲，连词that引导宾语从句时，可省去。但若是几个宾语从句并列使用，则that一般都不可省去。原因很简单，有了that的“指路牌”的作用（详见《英语语法新思维中级教程——通悟语法》中2.1.2小节的内容），便于读者快速判断句子结构。请看例句：
I once read that “the beauty of life is its changes” and that “the art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surroundings”.
妙语点睛 句中含有两个that从句，连词that一般不省去。这里两个that从句作read的宾语，即构成并列的宾语从句。
精品译文 我曾经读到过这样一句话：“生活的魅力在于变化，而生活的艺术在于不断地适应周围环境的变化。”
熟悉宾语从句在主句中的不同位置特点，注意宾语从句的后置结构，了解连词that省略的规则。
