一日一句【63】省略亦要保持结构的完整

省略亦要保持结构的完整

示例：
Timmy is to be the first choice, and Michael and Paul are to be the second and the third.
首选是蒂米，米歇尔和保罗是第二和第三位。

在许多情况下，我们可以省略一些词。因为用了这些词反而会使句子变成不必要的团结互助累赘。当然，省略时必须谨慎，否则会造成错误。要注意保持句子结构的完整，这是十分重要的。例如：The walls have been painted and the floor polished. 这一句是错的，正确的句子应该是：

The walls have been painted and the floor has been polished.
墙壁已经漆过，地板也打过蜡了。

同样：Our captain was first in the seedings, and our other two players seventh and ninth. 这一句是错的，应该是：

Our captain was first in the seedings, and our other two players were seventh and ninth.
我们的队长是第一号种子选手，其他两个队员排名第七和第九。
