一个讲省略用法的章节里看到这样一句:
George was, but Jim pretended to be, interested in the performance.
不太明白它的省略是如何体现的。
你的句子可按以下省略用法理解:
George was, but Jim pretended to be, interested in the performance.
=George was interested in the performance, but Jim pretended to be interested in the performance.
再举一例类似的省略用法:
A: Are you tired?
B: I was, but I’m not now. (= I was tired, but I’m not tired now)
