错误的省略主要发生在介词上。
例4
His objection and condoning of the boy’s course, seemed to say the least,paradoxical.
(他对男孩行为的反对和容忍看起来非常矛盾。)
objection后面应该有介词to。
例5
Many men of brilliant parts are crushed by force of circumstances and their genius forever lost to the world.
(很多聪明绝顶的人被环境压垮,从而永远失去了他们的智慧。)
有些人认为genius后面缺的动词是are,但这样是不符合语法规律的。在这种情况下,正确的动词永远应该是is。比如:Their genius is forever lost to the world.(他们永远失去了自己的智慧。)
