各位老师好,有这样一道题:
The boy wanted to ride his bicycle in the street, but his mother told him ________.
A. not to B. not to do C. not do it
答案给的是C,给的解析是这里省略了相同的成分ride his bicycle in the streets. 然后不能选C的原因是do后面要有it。可是在章振邦先生的《新编高级英语语法》中(P1298)提到在许多情况下,动词性替代都可以为省略替代,并给出例句:John is smoking more now than he used to (do). 这里有do的话就是用替代词do代替smoke,如果没有do的话就是省略的结构。徐广联先生的《大学英语语法》也有类似的例句P916:Mark hoped that they would all do their duty to the country as Englsihmen should do.这里的do就代替do their duty,由此是不是可以推出上面题目中的B选项也是正确的呢,跪求大神帮忙解答。
