專題10 直接引語和間接引語
引述某人的話一般採用兩種形式:一種是直接引語(Direct Speech),即原封不動地引用原話,把它放在引號內;另一種是間接引語(Indirect Speech),即用自己的話加以轉述,被轉述的內容不放在引號內。
一、 直接引語變間接引語
A. 陳述句的間接引語
直接引語是陳述句,變為間接引語時,在多數情況下都構成一個that引導的賓語從句,引述動詞通常是say, tell等。與此同時,間接引語中的人稱、時態和其他方面也要相應有所變化。
The foreigner aid to me, I like Beijing very much.那老外告訴我:我很喜歡北京。
→ The foreigner told me that he she liked Beijing very much. 那老外告訴我說他(她)很喜歡北京。
She said, 「We are very fond of sports.」 她說:我們都喜歡體育運動。
→ She said that they were very fond of sports. 她說他(她)們都喜歡體運動。
「I'll go over the grammar lesson once again,」 he said. 他說:我將把語法課再複習一遍。
→ He said he would go over the grammar lesson once again. 他說他將要把語法課再複習一遍。(that可省略)
B. 疑問句的間接引語
1.一般疑問句和反意疑問句
一般疑問句改為間接引語時,要用陳述語序,並要加連詞if 或 whether,其主句動詞常用ask, wonder, want to know, didn't know等。句末不用問號。
My teacher asked me, 「Do you like American country music?」 我老師問我:你喜歡美國鄉村音樂嗎?
→ My teacher asked me if/whether I liked American country music. 我老師問我是否喜歡美國鄉村音樂。
「You haven't been to Beijing, have you?」 asked he. 他問:你沒去過北,是嗎?
→ He asked me if/whether I had been to Beijing. 他問我是否去過北京。
2.否定的一般疑問句和選擇問句
如果直接引語為否定的一般問句或選擇疑問句時,用whether…or 連接。
She said, 「 Don't you know my telephone number?」 她說:你難道不知道我的電話號碼嗎?
→ She asked me whether I knew her telephone number or not. 她問我是知道她的電話號碼。
「Do you like this one or that one ?」 Tom asked. 湯姆問:你是喜歡這個還是那個?
→ Tom asked me whether I liked this one or that one. 湯姆問我是喜歡這個還是那個。
3.特殊疑問句
間接引語為特殊疑問句時,間接引語前仍然用特殊疑問詞作為連詞引導賓語從句,注意從句必須用陳述語序,主句謂語動詞常用ask。
He asked, 「How do you like it?」 他問:你覺得怎樣?
→ He asked me how I liked it. 他問我覺得它怎樣。
She asked me, 「What's the matter with you?」 她問我:你怎麼啦?
→ She asked me what was the matter with me. 她問我我怎麼啦。
「How many books do you have?」 she asked. 她問:你有多少本書?
→ She asked me how many books I had. 她問我有多少本。
4.其它
英語中有些疑問句並非提出疑問,而是表示請求、勸告、建議等。這種疑問句變為間接引語時,往往採用其他的形式。
①.suggest doing
「Shall we all go to the film tonight?」 said Michael. 麥可說:我們今晚都去看電影,好嗎?
→ Michael suggested going to the film tonight. 麥可建議今晚都去看電影。
「What about having a drin?」 he asked. 他問:喝杯怎麼樣?

②.advise sb to do
「Why don't you go hiking?」 asked James. 詹姆士問:你為什麼不徒步旅行?
James advised me to go hiking. 詹姆士建議我去徒步旅行。
③. offer to do
He said, 「Would you like me to post the letter?」 他說:你要我寄信嗎?
He offered to ost the letter. 他主動提出寄信。
④.ask sb to do
「Will you please bring your reference book here tomorrow?」 she said to me. 她對我說:勞駕你明天把你的參考書帶來好嗎?
→ She asked me to take my reference book there the next day. 她讓我第二天把我的參考書帶去。
C. 祈使句的間接引語
1.直接引語為祈使句時,間接引語往往用複合賓來表示,其結構為主語+謂語+賓語+賓語補足語(動詞不定式)。引述動詞可根據口氣選用tell, ask, order, command, request等詞,句中please去掉。
She said to me, 「Please have a rest.」 她對我說:請休息一下。
→ She asked me to have a rest. 她要求我休息一下。
「Don't all answer at once,」 she said to the pupils. 她對學生說:大家不要齊聲回答。→ She told the pupils not to answer all at once. 她叫學生不要齊聲回答。
2.帶有let的祈使句(表示請求,建議或命令),可用suggest + -ing形式或suggest +that從句來表示其相應的意思。
「Let's go for a walk,」 said the girl. 那姑娘說,讓我們去散散步吧。
→ The girl suggested going for a walk. 這女孩建議去散散步。
The teacher said, 「 Let Lily tidy the classroom.」 老師說:讓莉莉整理教室。
→ The teacher suggested that Lily should tidy the classroom. 老師建議讓莉莉整理教室。
D. 感嘆句的間接引語
1.直接引語是感嘆句變為間接引語時,多採用賓語從句結構,既可用what或how引導,也可用that引導。
「What a clever boy you are!」my teacher said to him. 老師對他說,你是個聰明的孩子啊!
→ My teacher told him what a clever boy he was. 老師對他說他是一個多聰明的孩子啊。
→ My teacher told him that he was a very clever boy. 老師說他是一個非常聰明的孩子。
He said, 「How well you look!」 他說:你看起來氣色多好啊!
→ He said how well I looked. 他說我看起來是氣色多好啊。
→ He said that I looked very well. 他說我看起來氣色很好。
2.有些感嘆句可以根據原句的意思,採用適當的動詞變為陳述句,不需用間接賓語來轉述。
「Help!」 he cried. 他喊到:救命啊!
→ He called for help. 他大聲呼救。
「What terrible weather it is!」he said. 他說:多麼糟糕的天氣!
→ He complained about the terrible weather. 他抱怨這糟糕的天氣。
「Happy Christmas!」 he said. 他說:聖誕快樂!
