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, "I am very happy to help you."→ 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, "Do you like playing football?"→ 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whether。例如: She asked me whether he could do it or not. 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, "How do you like the film?"→ 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, "Be quiet."→ 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not。 My teacher asked me, "Don't laugh."→ 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,"The earth goes round the sun."→ 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→ these/those, now→ then, today→ that day, yesterday→ the day before, last year→ the year before, ago→ before, here→ there 等。例如: He said, "I haven't seen her t...
