職稱英語(yǔ)考試中，為了避免不必要的重復(fù)，經(jīng)常用so，not，to，do，does 代替前面出現(xiàn)的動(dòng)詞或相關(guān)內(nèi)容。
    如：He translated the article better than I did.(did代替wrote it)
    —Doyou think she isclever?
    —I think so.(so代替 she is clever)
    (1)從上兩例中看出，do / does / did 代替動(dòng)詞。
    (2)“so 與 not” 代替某個(gè)詞、短語(yǔ)、句子等，通常用于hope，think，believe，expect，suppose，be afraid，fear，imagine，etc后作賓語(yǔ)。
    E.g. —Is it correct?
    —I'm afraid not. (not correct)
    (3)“to” 用作不定式，常跟隨下列動(dòng)詞：want，mean，hope，expect，refuse，seem，intend，be，afraid，etc.
    E.g. I asked him to go to the party，but he refused to. (go to the party)
    (4)“do so，do that，do it” 用來(lái)代替動(dòng)態(tài)動(dòng)詞，而不能代靜態(tài)動(dòng)詞。
    Eg. —He gave up studying English.
    —Why did he do so?(= give up studying English)
    —The dish tastes nice.
    —Yes，so it does.(tastes nice)
    (此句不能用it does it 或 it does so，因taste屬靜態(tài)動(dòng)詞。)
    (5)為使語(yǔ)言精煉，避免不必要的重復(fù)，對(duì)話中常用省略形式。
    E.g. —He is thinking of buying a car?
    —Is he?(這里，“thinking of buying a car”被省略了。)
    —Will he come back in time?
    —Perhaps.(省略了he will come back in time.)
