Unit22Lesson2EndangeredSpecies间接引语一、定义当我们转述别人的话时，可以引用别人的原话，被引用的部分称为直接引语，并用引号引起来；也可以用自己的话转述别人的意思，被转述的部分称为间接引语，不用引号。间接引语多数构成宾语从句。直接引语变成间接引语时，须在时态及代词，状语和语序等方面作一些必要的调整。二、时态的变化直接引语间接引语一般现在时一般过去时一般过去时过去完成时一般将来时过去将来时现在进行时过去进行时过去进行时过去完成时现在完成时过去完成时“I’mpreparingmylessons,”shesaid.Shesaidthatshewaspreparingherlessons.Isaidtothem,“you’llbedisappointedatthenews.:Itoldthemthattheywouldbedisappointedatthenews.Hesaidtome,“Janespentallhertimedoingthat.”HetoldmethatJanehadspentallhertimedoingthat.直接引语中的谓语动词为一般过去时,如与一个具体表示过去的时间连用,在变成间接引语时可以不变.Myfathersaidtome,“Ireadthebookin1996.”Myfathertoldmehereadthebookin1996.直接引语表达的意思是客观真理时,在变为间接引语时时态不变.Theteachersaidtous,“theearthgoesaroundthesun.”Theteachertoldusthattheearthgoesaroundthesun.三、代词的变动人称代词要根据句中的具体情况作相应的变动。“Ihaven’tbroughtmydictionary,”theboysaid.Theboysaidthathehadn’tbroughthisdictionary.用心爱心专心Note:this,these要变成that,those.四、状语的变动直接引语间接引语nowthenagobeforetodaythatdaythismorningThatmorningyesterdayThedaybeforeyesterdaymorningThemorningbeforetomorrowThenextday,thefollowingday,thedayafterlastweek/month…Theweek/month…beforenextweek/month…Theweek/month…afterthisweek/month…Thatweek/month…herethere“I’llcomeandseeyouagainthisevening,Tom,”hesaid.HetoldTomthathewouldgoandseehimagainthatevening.“I’llcomehereagaintomorrow,”shesaid.Shesaidthatshewouldgothereagainthenextday.五、直接引语为疑问句时的变动当直接引语是疑问句时，除注意在人称，时态和状语等方面作相应的变动外，还要注意：1．间接引语改为陈述句的语序.Sheasked,“whatisit?what’sgoingtohappennow?”Sheaskedwhatitwasandwhatwasgoingtohappenthen.2．特殊疑问句的疑问词要保留Theboywaswondering,“Howdoesthecomputerwork?”Theboywaswonderinghowthecomputerworked.3．一般、选择、可反意问句在间接引语前要加whether或if“Isthereanythingwrong,Madam?”askedtheman.Themanaskedthewomaniftherewasanythingwrong.Heaskedme,“DoyoustudyEnglishorFrench?”HeaskedmewhetherIstudiedEnglishorFrench.“It’sMary,isn’tit?”askedJane.用心爱心专心JaneaskedwhetheritwasMaryornot.六、直接引语为祈使句的变动当直接引语为祈使句时，主句中的谓语动词在变动时往往根据直接引语中的口气换用ask，invite，advise，warn，tell，order等动词，而直接引语中的谓语动词则要变成动词不定式。“Don’tgiveup!”Fathershoutedtohim.Fathertoldhiminaloudvoicenottogiveup.七、间接引语中时态通常不变的情况除了直接引语是普遍、永恒的真理，间接引语的时态不变之外，还有以下几种情况是不变时态的。1．若是经常性，反复性，习惯性的动作或状态“Myfatheralwaysgoestoworkbybus,”Tomsaid.Tomsaidthathisfatheralwaysgoestoworkbybus.2．若引用时所转述的内容仍然是真实的，一般保持原来的时态不变“I’monly28,”saidJane.Janesaidtheotherdaythatshe’sonly28.“MysisterlivesinBeijing,”saidMary.MarysaidthathersisterlivesinBeijing.3．在wish，wouldrather，itistime之后的从句中的一般过去时，并不表示过去的时间，所以在间接引语中不变。Hesaid,“IwishIknow.”Hesaidthathewishedheknew.Theysaid,“it’stimewewenthome.”Theysaiditwastimetheywenthome.4．Would，should，ought，hadbetter，usedto，could和must没有相应的过去式，所以不变。Shesaid,“Imightbethere.”Shesaidthatshemightbethere.用心爱心专心
