用leave或leave school表示“辍学”（人教必修1-U5）

问题描述

在高中英语人教版必修一第五单元(Unit 5) ELIAS’S STORY（伊莱亚斯的故事）中有这样一句：

I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare. 我不得不辍学，因为我的家庭无法继续支付学费和交通费。

请问，这里单独用 leave 表示“辍学”，按道理应该是有 leave school 吧？难道这里的 school 可以省略？

老师答疑

童老师：

查了一下原文，这里确实是承前省略了 school，相关上下文如下：

I needed his help because I had very little education. I began school at six. The school where I studied for only two years was three kilometres away. I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare.

因前面提到6岁上学，学校离家3公里，所以后面就“承前”省略了 school。
