If given more time...句式分析

老师您好!

If given more time, I can do it better.

本句 if 为连词,given 是过去分词做 more time 的定语,If 从句整体做条件状语,时间是被(别人)给的,但是在从句中无主语及谓语感觉挺别扭,请老师解惑。盼复!

这是省略形式的条件从句,即If(I'm)given more time, ...。

一般说来,状语从句中的省略现象主要出现在六种状语从句中。即:① 时间状语从句;② 地点状语从句;③ 条件状语从句;④让步状语从句; ⑤ 比较状语从句;⑥ 方式状语从句。如:

When (it is) heated, water changes into vapour.  给水加热时,它会变成蒸汽。

Fill in a proper preposition where (it is) necessary. 在需要的地方填上适当的介词。

He will come if (he is) asked. 如果请他来,他会来的。

He is better, though (he is) not yet cured. 他好一点了, 虽仍未痊愈。

The economic indicators are better than (they are) expected. 经济指标比预期的好。

She talked to the stranger as if (she was) absent-minded. 她和陌生人谈话似乎心不在焉。

解答如下:

以上为“保留连词+过去分词”省略形式,即省略了主句+助动词be的状语从句形式,

If (I am )given more time, I can do it better.

状语从句主谓成分的省略是英语语言在使用过程中出现的一种较普遍的语法现象,它能使语言言简意赅语言表达效果。

Though understanding no Chinese, the American girl was able to communicate with the other students in her class.

When asking the teacher, he was very polite.

Until finished, the problem was a continuous worry to me.

He’ll go to the seaside for his holiday if (it is) possible.

一、状语从句主谓成分的省略,须遵循下面原则:

(一)当从句的主语与主句的主语一致时,从句可以省略主语,从句的谓语动词采用其V-ing结构。

Although working very hard, he failed in the final exam. (Although he worked very hard,…)

After taking the medicine, she felt much better. (After she took the medicine,…)

If going there by air, we’ll have to pay twice the fare. (If we go there by air,…)

(二)当从句的主语和主句的主语一致时,若从句的谓语动词是系动词be或包含be的某种形式,此时从句的主语和be动词通常可以一同省略。常见于以下几种形式:
1.连词+形容词
Whenever (
she is) free, she often goes shopping.

她有空就去逛商店。
Work hard when (you are) young, or you'll regret.

少壮不努力,老大徒伤悲。

She hurried out of the room, as if (she was) angry.

2.连词+名词
While (he was) a young boy, he was always ready to help others.

他在孩提时代就乐于助人。

He could write poems when (he was) yet a child.

3.连词+现在分词
While (she was) walking along the river bank, she was singing a pop song.

她沿着河堤边走边唱着流行歌曲。
The boy is running impatiently here and there as if (he is) searching for something lost on the sports ground. 
 

这男孩很不耐心地在操场上到处跑着仿佛在找什么东西。

4.连词+过去分词

If (it is) well read, the book will give you much to think.

Unless (they were) asked to answer questions, the students were not supposed to talk in Prof. Li’s class.

5连词+不定式
He stood up as if (he were) to say something.

当时他站起来好像要说什么。

He wouldn't solve the problem even if (he were) to take charge.

即使他来负责,他也解决不了这个问题。
6.连词+介词短语
She looked anxious as though (she was) in trouble.

她看上去很焦急,好像遇到了麻烦。

He looked everywhere as if (he was)in search of something .

他到处看似乎在找什么东西。
He came across the picture while (he was) on a visit to New York.

(三)若从句的主语和主句的主语不一致,但和主句的宾语一致时,从句中的主语和be动词亦常可省略。

Father advised me not to say anything until (I was) asked.

Granny told the children not to talk while (they were) eating.

(四)当从句的主语是it, 且谓语动词是be或包含be的某种形式时, it和be常可同时省略

如果可能的话,他会帮你摆脱困境。

    如果 if 引导的条件状语从句的主语与主句的主语是同一个(些)人或者事物,而且从句的谓语中含有助动词be,就可以把从句的主语和be一起省略。例如:

    If given more time, I can do it better.= If I am/was given more time, I can do it better.如果给我更多时间,我能够把它(这件事)做得更好。

    If asked to look after luggage for someone else, inform police at once.如果有人叫你替别人照管行李,你要马上报警。(摘自《牛津英语用法指南》第三版411.6)= If you are asked to look after luggage for someone else, inform police at once.
