　5.3.2　 連詞that的選用

1. English CLAUSE(修訂本) p109上說：There is a growing tendency to omit the “that” in the object clause, especially in American usage. But the present British usage seems to be:

(a) “That” is still usual with such verbs as: agree, announce, argue, assume, aver, calculate, conceive, contend, hold, indicate, learn, show, maintain, observe, decide, remark, suggest, state, intend.

(b) “That” is optional with such verbs as: be told, confess, consider, declare, grant, hear, know, perceive, propose, say, see, understand, imagine, expect, reckon.

(c) “That” is unusual with such verbs as:  believe, dare, say, hope, presume, suppose, think, wish.

Owning to the influence of American usage, verbs of class (a) are dwindling in favour of verbs of class (b) or (c)

至于每個動詞之后that的選用，詳見上面的例句。

注：(1) 當that從句作賓語時，連詞that在較短的句子中一般可以省略(見上面的例句) 但若that從句較長時；則不宜省略。例如： Now scientists warn that the unseen energy waves(能波) , “electric smog(電煙霧) ”, may be hazardous to our health. 目前科學家警告說“能波”，也叫“電煙霧”，可能對我們的健康有害。

(2) 在簡短的回答中，that不能省略。例如：

— what do you assume from his attitude?

— That he was frightened.

(3) 由對等連接詞and或 but所連接的兩個作賓語的that從句中，第一個that可以省略，但第二個不可省略。例如：He said (that) he had eaten nothing but he was not hungry.  他說他沒吃東西，但是他不餓。          

(4) 為了強調，做賓語的that從句移到句首時，that不能省略。例如：That he was guilty of any crime(↗) , we cannot believe(↘)

試比較：He was completely innocent(↘) , I believe. (此處，He was completely innocent是獨立的主句，I believe是評述分句)

(5) 當that從句和其它名詞性從句并列作賓語時，that不能省略。例如：

Everyone could see what was happening and that poor George was really scared..人人都能看到所發生的一切，也可看出可憐的喬治是害怕的。

(6) 當主句謂語動詞與that從句之間有插入語時，that不能省略。例如：I think, John, that you would be wiser not to go. 約翰，我認為你不去才是更聰明的了。

You don’t realize, I suppose, that I’m down and out? 你大概不知道我已經筋疲力盡了吧？

(7) 當主句的狀語置于句末(即that從句之前) 時，that不能省略。例如：He was saying at lunch that he never saw you nowadays.他在午餐時說，他最近一直沒有看到你。

I have known for years past that it was on the cards.許多年來，我就知道，這在意料之中。

I saw with half an eye that all was over. 我一眼望去，便曉得那全都完了。
