Once in bed,the children usually start there.
问题描述:
Once in bed,the children usually start there.
我在一本英汉词典里看到这么一句话:
Once in bed,the children usually start there.
[词典翻译:这些孩子一旦上了床,一般就不再下来了.]
我的问题是:
这句话的第一部份省略了很多,我作出了还原:
Once the children are in bed,the children usually start there.
我的还原应该没错吧?
我想问的主要是为什么可以把助动词are给省略了?
这是一种什么形式的省略?
答
没错,这是状语从句在句首的省略,状语从句在句首时,如果从句的主语和主句的主语指的是同一个人或同一件事,并且从句主语后紧接有be动词时,这时可省略从句的主语及be动词.
