Ask & Learn闻问切英语口语:That的省略

读者 Kathy Yu 来电邮问：如果 "I find it hard to understand" 和 "I find learning English interesting" 两句都符合英语语法，那我们又如何解释下面的句子?

I'm finding everything here is very expensive.

Kathy 在电邮也有提出自己的看法。头两句是按照这样的结构：

主语 + 动词 + 宾语 + 宾语补足语

（subjec + verb + object + object complement）

所以两句都只有一个动词（find）。Kathy 说得非常有道理。

至于第三句的结构，其实比较像复述句（indirect speech）。先举一例：John 出外购物，发现东西很贵，说到： "Everything here is very expensive."

把句子写成复述句：

John said that everything here was very expensive.

然而，复述句里的 that 常常被省略，因此上面的句子也可以写成：

John said everything here was very expensive.

再看 Kathy 提出的那一句 "I'm finding (that) everything here is very expensive."，只不过是把 that 省去罢了。
