我想问下如果一个句子中有三个并列的被动语态的谓语动词,那后两个谓语动词的be动词能不能省略,比如说"The essay was written by John, was edited by Kate, and was published in England. " 能不能写成" The essay was written by John, edited by Kate, and published in England." ?
还有个问题就是平行时介词能否省略,比如说"Many experts regarded the large increase in credit card borrowing in March not as a sign that households were pressed for cash and forced to borrow, but as a sign that households were confident they could safely handle new debt."but后的as 能不能省略? 望高人指点,感激不尽!
介词一般来说是不能省的,但如果不会引起歧义则可以。
Plants are more efficient than fungi at acquiring carbon,in the form of carbon dioxide, and converting it to energy-rich sugars.这道题中就省略了at,完整的应该是at converting
