1.3.6 that在宾语从句中省略的问题

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。”

思维总结

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。
