窗體頂端直接引用別人原話,叫直接引語。用自己的話轉(zhuǎn)述別人的話,叫間接引語。間接引語常用賓語從句表達。直接引語前后要用引號,間接引語不用引號。
He Said: "I have seen the film." 他說:"我已經(jīng)看過這部電影。"(直接引語)
He said that he had seen the film. 他說他已經(jīng)看過這部電影了。(間接引語)
怎樣把直接引語改為間接引語?
1.根據(jù)意思改變?nèi)朔Q。
如:They said, "We are busy now." (直接引語)
They said that they were busy then. (間接引語)
一般來說第三人稱代詞常常不變,第一人稱一般變?yōu)榈诙朔Q。
2.若主句的謂語是過去時態(tài),直接引語改為間接引語時,要調(diào)整時態(tài)。
直接引語 間接引語
現(xiàn)在時 過去時
過去時 過去完成時(少數(shù)不變)
現(xiàn)在完成時 過去完成時
現(xiàn)在進行時 過去進行時
一般將來時 過去將來時
過去完成時 不變
現(xiàn)在完成進行時 過去完成進行時
由上述內(nèi)容可知,時態(tài)的變化都是由現(xiàn)在的某個時態(tài)而變成了達去的某個時態(tài)。要特別注意,客觀真理以及過去完成時在改為間接引語時,不需作時態(tài)調(diào)整。
3.指示代詞,進間狀語也要作調(diào)整。
直接引語 間接引語
this that
these those
now then
today that day
tonight that night
tomorrow the next (following) day(month, year)
yesterday the day before
yesterday afternoon the afternoon before
last year (month) the year (month) before
ago before
here there
注:動詞(come)也常變?yōu)間o
4.若直接引語為陳述句,改為間接引語時,用連詞that引導(dǎo)(口語中常省略),其它作相應(yīng)的變化。
He said, "I've just got a letter from my sister."
He said he had just got a letter from his sister.
需要說明的是,若引號里是兩句話,改為間接引語后,第二句前也要用that連接起來。
"He was here a few weeks ago, and he came again yesterday." she said.
She said that he had been there a few weeks before, and that he had come again the day before.
5.若直接引語為一般疑問句(原為倒裝語序),改為間接引語時要用陳述句的語序而且還要加連詞if 或whether引出。注意whether后還可跟or或or nor ,但if 不能。Whether可用在介詞后或帶to的不定式前面,而if不能。但若賓語從句為否定句時,常用if而不用whether。
He asked, "Are you a teacher or a student?"
He asked me whether I was a teacher or a student.
注:如果主句中的謂語為said,改為間接引語時要用asked,無間接賓語,要適當(dāng)加一個me,us,him等。如:
He said, " Are you ready?"
He asked me if I was ready.
6.若直接引語為特殊疑問句,間接引語就要使用疑問詞引出,而且要用陳述句語序。
"What are you doing here?" the guard said to us.
The guard asked us what we were doing there.
7.當(dāng)直接引語為祈使句時,間接引語要改為帶復(fù)合賓語(賓語+賓語補足語)的句子,賓補用不定式表示。
即:ask (tell, order, beg, etc) someone (not) to do something。注意不要用said。
"Don't mention it again," the said to her husband.
She asked her husband not to mention it againUID303
