课题:定义:在转述他人的话、观点或看法时,常常使用转述结构,转述结构也叫间接引语
在转述别人的话时,需要注意以下几方面:一、句子结构的变化1) 如果转述的话是陈述句,转述结构 一般由转述动词+ (sb +) that 从句构成
如:He said, “I’ll give you an examination next Monday
” →He told us that he would give us an examination the next Monday
此外类似的转述动词还有:repeat, admit, whisper, answer, reply, explain, announce, declare, think 等,又如: 1)He explained to us that he was late because of the heavy traffic
2)The judge declared that they were innocent and should be set free right away
2) 如果转述的话为一般疑问句,转述时要用连词 whether 或 if 引导
这样的转述动词主要有 ask, wonder, inquire 等
如:He said, “Do you have any difficulty with pronunciation
” →He asked (me) whether/ if I had any difficulty with my pronunciation
3) 转述的话为祈使句时,转述时要用带 to 的不定式表达,这样的转述动词有:ask, advise, tell, warn, order, request 等
如:“Never come here again
” said the office
