一般疑问句→间接引语 一般疑问句变为间接引语时,要用从属连词whether或if引导,并将疑问句语序变为陈述句语序。主句中的谓语动词是said时,要改为asked,没有间接宾语的,可以接一个间接宾语,如me,him,her或us等。 He said,"Did you see him last night?" →He asked me whether I had seen him the night before.他问我是否前一天晚上见过他。 注意事项 直接引语如果是客观真理,变为间接引语时,时态不变。例如:
He said,"Light travels much faster than sound." →He said that light travels much faster than sound. 他说光的传播速度要比声音快。
如果在当地转述,here不必改为there,动词come 不必改为go。如果在当天转述,yesterday/tomorrow等时间状语也不必改变。 特殊疑问句和祈使句变成间接引语时的具体用法如下表所示:
转变方法 例句 特殊问句→间接引语 原句中的疑问词作连接词,从句改为陈述语序。 The teacher asked,"How did you repair it?"→The teacher asked me how I had repaired it.老师问我怎么修理它的。 祈使句→间接引语 将祈使句的动词原形变为带to的不定式,在不定式前根据意思加上tell,ask,order等动词,即"动词+宾语+不定式"结构。 "Make sure the door is shut," she said to her little son. → She told her little son to make sure the door was shut.她告诉她的儿子要确保把门关上。 如果祈使句为否定式,在不定式的前面加上not。
注意:引语中的呼语可改成宾语,引语中的please去掉,动词用ask。 "Tom,don't smoke in the room," he said. →He asked Tom not to smoke in the room.
他叫汤姆不要在房子里抽烟。
