本次英語語法專題我們學習「直接引語和間接引語」,具體內容如下:
引述或轉述別人的話稱為「引語」。直接引用別人的話,兩邊用引號「」標出,叫作直接引語;用自己的語言轉述別人的話,不需要引號,叫作間接引語。實際上間接引語大都是賓語從句(其中由祈使句轉換的間接引語除外,其轉換後是不定式)。直接引語轉換為間接引語時,句子的結構、人稱、時態、時間狀語和地點狀語等都要有變化。
一、人稱的轉化
人稱的轉換不是固定的,要符合邏輯,具體情況具體對待。
1)直接引語中的第一人稱,一般轉換為第三人稱
例句:He said,"Iam very happy."
→He said that hewas very happy.
他說他很開心。
2)直接引語中的第二人稱,如果原話是針對轉述人說的,轉換為第一人稱。
例句:"Youshould not give up hope," my father told me.
→My father told me that Ishould not give up hope.
父親告訴我不應該放棄希望。
3)直接引語中的第二人稱,如果原話針對第三人稱說的,轉換成第三人稱
例句:She said to her son,"I'll check your homework tonight."
→She said to her son that shewould check his homework that night.
她對她的兒子說那天晚上會檢查他的作業。
4)人稱的轉換包括人稱代詞、形容詞性物主代詞和名詞性物主代詞等
例句:He asked me,"Will yougo to the airport with me to meet a friend of mine this afternoon ?"
→He asked me whether Iwould go to the airport with him to meet a friend of his that afternoon.
他問我那天下午是否和他去機場見他的一個朋友。
二、時態的轉換
直接引語改為間接引語時,主句如果是過去式,從句(即間接引語部分)在時態方面要作相應的變化,變成過去時範疇的各種時態(實際也是賓語從句的時態要求),變化如下:
如果主句為過去時態,則間接引語的時態一般應相應向前推一個時態。如下表所示:
例句:"I amvery glad to visit your school,"she said.
→She said she wasvery glad to visit our school.
她說她非常高興參觀我們的學校。
例句:Tom said,"we are listeningto the classical music."
→Tom said that they were listeningto classical music.
湯姆說他們正在聽古典音樂。
例句:Mother asked,"Haveyou finished your homework before you play video game ?"
→Mother asked me whether I had finishedmy homework before I played video game.
媽媽問我在打電子遊戲之前是否已經完成了家庭作業。
例句:He asked the driver,"Where shallI get off to change to a No. 5 bus ?"
→He asked the driver where he would getoff to change to a No. 5 bus.

例句:"Why didn'tshe attend the chemical class ?" the teacher asked.
→The teacher asked why she hadn't attendedthe chemical class.

例句:Tom said,"They were havinga basketball match this time yesterday.

例句:He said,"I haven't heard from my parents these days."
→He said that he hadn't heardfrom his parents those days.
他說那些天他沒有收到父母的來信。
三、直接引語變成間接引語時,從句時態無需改變的情況
1)主句是一般現在時,表示經常發生的、習慣性的動作
例句:He always says,"I am tired out."
→He always saysthat he is tired out.
他總說他很疲倦。
2)主句是將來時
例句:He willsay,"I will answer the letters for you."
→He willsay that he will answer the letters for me.
他說他將幫我回復這些來信。
3)直接引語部分帶有具體的過去時間狀語
例句:He said,"I wentto Beijing in 1994."
→He told us that he wentto Beijing in 1994.
他告訴我們他1994年去的北京。
4)直接引語中有以when,while引導的從句,表示過去的時間
例句:He said,"When I was a child,I usually played football after school."
→He said that when he was a child,he usually played football after school.
他說當他是個孩子的時候,他經常放學後踢足球。
5)直接引語是客觀真理或自然現象
例句:Our teacher said to us,"The earth travelsaround the sun."
→Our teacher told us that the earth travelsaround the sun.

→The doctor said I'd better drinkplenty of water.
醫生說我最好多喝開水。

例句:The manager said,"You needn't handin your reports today."
→The manager said that we needn't handin your reports that day.
經理說我們沒必要交上我們的報告。
注意!轉述中的變化要因實際情況而定,不能機械照搬,如果當地轉述,here不必改成there,動詞come不必改為go,如果當天轉述,yesterday、tomorrow、this afternoon等均不必改變。
例句:Teacher:You may have the ball game this afternoon.
Student:What did the teacher say,Monitor?
Monitor:He said we might have the ball game this afternoon.
四、時間、地點狀語及某些對比性的指示代詞和動詞變化

五、各種句式的變化
1)陳述句
用連詞that引導,that在口語中常省略。主句的謂語動詞可用直接引語中的said,也可用told代替。注意:可以說said that,said to sb. that,不可直接說told that。主句中的謂語動詞還可常用repeat、whisper、answer、reply、explain、announce、declare、think等。

2)疑問句
①一般疑問句或反問疑問句
間接引語用連詞whether或if引導,原主句中謂語動詞said要改為asked(me/him/us等),語序是陳述句的語序,這一點非常重要。

他問我在寫作方面是否有困難。
例句:He said,"You are interested in basketball,aren't you?"

他問我說英語還是法語。
例句:I asked,"Will you take a bus ortake a train?"
→I asked him whetherhe would take a bus or take a train.

改成間接引語時,原來的疑問詞作為間接引語的連詞,主句的謂語動詞用ask (sb.)來表達,語序為陳述句語序。
例句:He asked,"Where are you from?"
→He asked (me) where I was from.
他問我來自什麼地方。
例句:He asked,"How many airports have been built in your country?"
→He asked us how many airports had been builtin our country.
他問我們在我們國家已經建了多少機場。
④含有請求、建議的疑問句
可用ask sb. To do sth. / suggest doing / advise sb. to do sth.等形式轉述。

→He asked me to closethe window.
他讓我關上窗戶。
例句:"Why not going out for a walk?" he asked us.
→He advised us to go out for a walk.

3)祈使句
改為間接引語,用帶to的不定式表達,謂語動詞常是ask、advise、tell、warn、order、request等,如ask sb. to do(由肯定祈使句轉變),ask sb. not to do(由否定祈使句轉變),並且在不定式短語中的時間狀語、地點狀語、人稱及時態都作相應的變化。
例句:He said,"Stand up,please."
→He asked us to standup.
他讓我們站起來。
例句:"Do be careful with your handwriting." He said.

他建議我們休息一下。
例句:He said,"Let me help you."
→He offered to help me.
他主動提出幫我。
4)感嘆句
變間接引語可用what或how引導,也可用that引導。
例句:She said,"What a lovely girl she is!"
→She said what a lovely girl she was.
或She said that she was a lovely girl.
