这是我网上看到两个句子,为何一个said后面要加that一个后面不要加that

答案

(1) "that" 经常被省略, 因为报纸要省空间.
(2) 以上两句没有“that”也可以.(理论上它需要 "that"的):
例句:"He has said we can't do it, so that's that."
(3) 记住这一点: 新闻媒体/ 报纸不是英语语法的权威.字典才可靠.
(4) 其他[ 没有“that”也可以] 的例句:
(a) I know (that) you didn't do it;
(b) I was surprised (that) he had gone
(c) Who is the man (that) you were talking to?
