Period Two Learning about Language直接引语和间接引语(一)当我们用引号引出别人的原话时，被引用部分称为直接引语；当我们间接地把别人的意思转述出来时，被转述的部分称为间接引语，我们可以通过口诀来掌握直接引语变间接引语的方法。1．陈述句直接引语变为间接引语的口诀：(1)He said，“I’m going to see a film this afternoon.”→He said that he was going to see a film that afternoon.(2)Jack said to me, “I have waited for you for a long time.”→Jack told me that he had waited for me for a long time.(3)The teacher said to us，“We will have an English party next week.”→The teacher told us that we would have an English party the next week.2．直接引语与间接引语时态变化对照一览表直接引语间接引语一般现在时一般过去时 现在进行时过去进行时现在完成时过去完成时一般过去时过去完成时过去完成时过去完成时一般将来时过去将来时【提醒】下列情况下，直接引语变间接引语时时态不变。(1)直接引语如果陈述的是客观事实或真理，当其变为间接引语时，不管主句用什么时态，间接引语的时态都不变。The teacher told the students，“The earth goes around the sun”→The teacher told the students that the earth goes around the sun.(2)直接引语中有明确的表示过去时间的状语时，变间接引语时，其时态仍保持过去时。The girl said，“I was born in Hong Kong in 1990.”→The girl said that she was born in Hong Kong in 1990.(3)主句的谓语动词是一般现在时或将来时，变间接引语时，时态通常不变。The old gentleman often says，“Time is life.”→The old genteman often says that time is life.3．指示代词、时间状语、地点状语和动词的变化一览表直接引语间接引语this 这that 那these 这些those 那些now 现在then 那时，当时today 今天that day 那天yesterday 昨天the day before 前一天tomorrow 明天the next (following)day 第二天tonight 今晚that night 那天晚上last week 上周the week before 前一周next week 下周the next week 第二周two weeks ago 两周前two weeks before 两周前the day before yesterday 前天...
