英语辅导:直接引语变间接引语及其注意事项
引述别人的话时,一般采用两种方式:一是引用别人的原话,把 它放在引号内,称为直接引语;二是用自己的话加以转述,被转述的 话不放在引号内,称为间接引语。间接引语在大多数情况下是一个宾 语从语。直接引语变成间接引语时,要注意以下几点:人称变化、时 态变化、宾语从句要用陈述句语序。
1.直接引语是陈述句, 变成间接引语时, 由连词 that 引导。例如: She said, \She said that she was very happy to help you.
2. 直接引语是一般 (选择/反意)疑问句, 变成间接引语时, 由连词 whether 或 if 引导。例如:
He asked me, \He asked me if/whether I liked playing football.
注意:大多数情况下, if 和 whether 可以互换,但后有 or not, 或在动词不定式前,或放在介词后作连接词时,一般只用 例如:
She asked me whether he could do it or not.
whether 。
→ →
...
He hesitated about whether to drive or take the train.
3. 直接引语是特殊疑问句,变成间接引语时,由相应的疑问词 who, whom, whose, how, when, why, where
等引导。例如:
→
My sister asked me, \My sister asked me how I liked the film.
4. 直接引语是祈使句, 变成间接引语时, 把动词原形变成动词不 定式,并在动词不定前加 tell, ask, order 等的宾语。例如:
The captain ordered, \The captain ordered us to be quiet.
注意:此种情况的否定句,在动词不定式前加 My teacher asked me, \My teacher asked me not to laugh. 5. 一些注意事项
(1)直接引语是客观事实、普遍真理等,变成间接引语时,时态不 变。例如:
They told their son,\
→
→
not。
→
...
They told their son that the earth goes round the sun.
(2)直接引语变间接引语时, 指示代词、时间状语、地点状语等 要作相应的变化。 如:this/that day, yesterday
→ these/those, now →then, today a→t th
→the year before,
→the day before, last year
→there等。例如:
ago→before, here
He said, \He said that he hadn't seen her that day.
→
注意:如果转述时就在原来的地方,就在说话的当天,就不必改 变指示代词、时间状语、地点状语等。
(3)间接引语一般要用陈述句的语序, 即主、谓、宾的顺序。 例如: He asked Lucy, \He asked Lucy where she went. Tom said, \Tom asked Ann what she wanted.
