直接引语和间接引语
英语中常用两种方式引用别人的话。直接引述别人的原话,叫作直接引语;用自己的话转述别人的话叫作间接引语。直接引语如改为间接引语,必须在语序、人称、时态和状语方面作相应变化。
一、句型变化
1.陈述句
直接引语如果是陈述句,变为间接引语时,用连词that引导(that在口语中常省略)。
"I will never forget this interesting lesson,"said Paul.
保罗说:"我永远不会忘记这有趣的一课。"
→Paul said that he would never forget that interesting lesson.
保罗说他永远不会忘记那有趣的一课。
2.疑问句
直接引语如果是疑问句,变为间接引语时,要把疑问句语序改为陈述句语序(主语在谓语前面),句末用句号,主语的人称、时态和状语也要作相应的变化。
(1)一般疑问句:直接引语如果是一般疑问句,变为间接引语时,要用连词whether或if引导。主句中的谓语动词是said时,要改为asked。没有间接宾语的,可以加一个间接宾语(me,him或us等)。
He said,"Can you speak French?"
→He asked (me) if/whether I could speak French.
He said,"Did you see me last night?"
→He asked (me) whether/if I had seen him the night before.
(2)特殊疑问句:直接引语如果是特殊疑问句,变为间接引语时,仍用原来的疑问词引导。
"Where do you usually have lunch?" he asked me.
→He asked me where I usually had lunch.
(3)选择疑问句:直接引语如果是选择疑问句,用whether/if引导。
She asked,"Are you going there or not?"
→She asked me whether/if I was going there or not.
3.祈使句
转述祈使句,要将祈使句的动词原形变为带to的不定式,并根据句子意思在不定式的前面加上tell,ask,order等动词,其句型是:tell/ask/order sb.to do sth.,如果祈使句为否定式,
