魔法英语语法第十二章直接引语和间接引语
引述某人的话一般采用两种形式:一种是直接引语(Direct Speech),即原封不动地引用原话,把它放在引号内;另一种是间接引语(Indirect Speech),即用自己的话加以转述,被转述的内容不放在引号内。 一、 直接引语变间接引语 A. 陈述句的间接引语
直接引语是陈述句,变为间接引语时,在多数情况下都构成一个that引导的宾语从句,引述动词通常是say, tell等。与此同时,间接引语中的人称、时态和其他方面也要相应有所变化。 The foreigner aid to me, I like Beijing very much.那老外告诉我:我很喜欢北京。 → The foreigner told me that he she liked Beijing very much. 那老外告诉我说他(她)很喜欢北京。
She said,We are very fond of sports. 她说:我们都喜欢体育运动。
→ She said that they were very fond of sports. 她说他(她)们都喜欢体运动。
I'll go over the grammar lesson once again,he said. 他说:我将把语法课再复习一遍。
→ He said he would go over the grammar lesson once again. 他说他将要把语法课再复习一遍。(that可省略) B. 疑问句的间接引语
1.一般疑问句和反意疑问句
一般疑问句改为间接引语时,要用陈述语序,并要加连词if 或 whether,其主句动词常用ask, wonder, wantto know, didn't know等。句末不用问号。
My teacher asked me, Do you like American country music 我老师问我:你喜欢美国乡村音乐吗?
→ My teacher asked me ifwhether I liked American country music. 我老师问我是否喜欢美国乡村音乐。
You haven't been to Beijing, have you asked he. 他问:你没去过北,是吗? → He asked me ifwhether I had been to Beijing. 他问我是否去过北京。 2.否定的一般疑问句和选择问句
如果直接引语为否定的一般问句或选择疑问句时,用whether?or 连接。
She said, Don't you know my telephone number 她说:你难道不知道我的电话号码吗? → She asked me whether I knew her telephone number or not. 她问我是知道她的电话号码。 Do you like this one or that one Tom asked. 汤姆问:你是喜欢这个还是那个?
→ Tom asked me whether I liked this one or that one. 汤姆问我是喜欢这个还是那个。 3.特殊疑问句
间接引语为特殊疑问句时,间接引语前仍然用特殊疑问词作为连词引导宾语从句,注意从句必须用陈述语序,主句谓语动词常用ask。
He asked, How do you like it 他问:你觉得怎样? → He asked me how I liked it. 他问我觉得它怎样。
She asked me, What's the matter with you 她问我:你怎么啦? → She asked me what was the matter with me. 她问我我怎么啦。 How many books do you have she asked. 她问:你有多少本书? → She asked me how many books I had. 她问我有多少本。 4.其它
英语中有些疑问句并非提出疑问,而是表示请求、劝告、建议等。这种疑问句变为间接引语时,往往采用其他的形式。
①.suggest doing
Shall we all go to the film tonight said Michael. 迈克尔说:我们今晚都去看电影,好吗? → Michael suggested going to the film tonight. 迈克尔建议今晚都去看电影。 What about having a drink he asked. 他问:喝杯怎么样? He suggested having a drink. 他建议喝一杯。 ②.advise sb to do

He said, Would you like me to post the letter 他说:你要我寄信吗? He offered to ost the letter. 他主动提出寄信。 ④.ask sb to do

→ She asked me to take my reference book there the next day. 她让我第二天把我的参考书带去。
C. 祈使句的间接引语
1.直接引语为祈使句时,间接引语往往用复合宾来表示,其结构为主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语(动词不定式)。引述动词可根据口气选用tell, ask, order, command, request等词,句中please去掉。
She said to me, Please have a rest. 她对我说:请休息一下。 → She asked me to have a rest. 她要求我休息一下。
Don't all answer at once, she said to the pupils. 她对学生说:大家不要齐声回答。→ She told the pupils not to answer all at once. 她叫学生不要齐声回答。
2.带有let的祈使句(表示请求,建议或命令),可用suggest + -ing形式或suggest +that从句来表示其相应的意思。
Let's go for a walk, said the girl. 那姑娘说,让我们去散散步吧。 → The girl suggested going for a walk. 这女孩建议去散散步。
The teacher sai, Let Lily tidy the classroom. 老师说:让莉莉整理教室。
→ The teacher suggested that Lily should tidy the classroom. 老师建议让莉莉整理教室。 D. 感叹句的间接引语
1.直接引语是感叹句变为间接引语时,多采用宾语从句结构,既可用what或how引导,也可用that引导。
What a clever boy you are!my teacher said to him. 老师对他说,你是个聪明的孩子啊! → My teacher told him what a clever boy he was. 老师对他说他是一个多聪明的孩子啊。 → My teacher told him that he was a very clever boy. 老师说他是一个非常聪明的孩子。 He said, How well you look! 他说:你看起来气色多好啊! → He said how well I looked. 他说我看起来是气色多好啊。 → He said that I ooked very well. 他说我看起来气色很好。
2.有些感叹句可以根据原句的意思,采用适当的动词变为陈述句,不需用间接宾语来转述。 Help! he cried. 他喊到:救命啊! → He called for help. 他大声呼救。
What terrible weather it is!he said. 他说:多么糟糕的天气!
→ He complained about the terrible weather. 他抱怨这糟糕的天气。

He wished me a happy Christmas. 他祝我圣诞快乐。 二、 间接引语中的词语变化
