直接引语变间接引语的巧学 (Direct and Indirect Speech)
(1)歌诀巧记人称变化: 人称变更怎么办?
“一主①、二宾②、三不变”③若是自引自的话,听者不变称不变。 注: ①“一主”指在直接引语中的第一人称变为间接引语时,要和主句中的主语在人称上保持一致。如: He sad,“I am forty,”→He said that he was forty. ②“二宾”指直接引语中的第二人称变为间接引语时,要和主句中的间接宾语保持人称一致。如: He said,“Are you coming tomorrow?”→He asked me if I wascoming the next day. ③“三不变”指直接引语中的第三人称变为间接引语时,人称不变。如: He said,“Is she an English teacher?”→He asked if she was an English teacher. 另外注意直接引语为复数,引述者主语为单数,间接引语主语相应变复数。如: He said,“Are you interested in English?”→He asked me/us if Iwas/we were interested in English.
(2)一变·二换·三变化·四连词: 一般疑问句和特殊疑问句变为间接引语时要注意: 1)改为陈述句语序。 2)人称代词、时态等也要变化。 3)主句谓语动词为said时,换为asked。 “一变”即改变语序;
“二换”即换said为asked;
“三变化”,即人称、时态要变化;
“四连词”,即原来为一般问句时,间接引语中用whether或if,原来为特殊问句时,间接引语中仍用原来的疑问词。如: He asked: “Is it raining now?”
He asked whether/if it was raining
He asked: “How can go to the museum?”
Her asked how he could to the museum. 当然,用口诀记似乎更简便,易记易学些。 ①直接引语为一般疑问句,变为间接引语的口诀是: 去掉引号加if(或whether), 陈述语序要记住。 时态、人称和状语, 小心变化别马虎。 ②直接引语是特殊疑问句,变为间接引语的口诀是: 直接去引号, 陈述莫忘掉。 助动do(does)、did, 一定要去掉。
(3)一改·二变·三加·四去: 祈使句变成间接引语时,根据说话人的语气分别用tell、ask、order、beg等作谓语,将原来的祈使句改为动词不定式。 1)said(to)改为asked(或told,ordered); 2)said to的宾语或呼语变为asked等的宾语; 3)在动词原形前加to,使之成为动词不定式; 4)去掉please。如:
She said: “Please help yourvselves to the chicken.”
She asked us to help ourselves to the chicken.
The teacher said: “Don’t make any more noise, Tom.”
The teacher told Tom not to make any more noise.
用歌诀记忆直接引语为祈使句变间接引语: 去掉引号要加to, asked、ordered加“告诉”(told), 直引若为否定句, not加在to前部。
(4)直接引语变间接引语时态对应转换表: 直接引语时态 间接引语时态 一般现在时→ 一般过去时 一般将来时→ 过去将来时 现在进行时→ 过去进行时 一般过去时→ 过去完成时 现在完成时→ 过去完成时 过去完成时→ 过去完成时 情态动词也要变成相应的过去时:can→could;may→might;must→had to
直接引语和间接引语的系统学习和复习
(Direct and Indirect Speech)
简 述
直接引语是直接引述别人的原话,原话用有引号,而间接引语是引述别人的话,不用引号。间接引语在多数情况下构成宾语从句。直
接引语改为间接引语时,引述动词是现在时,则间接引语中的动词、时间、时态的形式不变。
例如: She says, “ I’ll never forget the moment.”变成间接引语为She says that she’ll never forget the moment.
但是如引述动词为过去时,间接引语中的动词、时间、时态、地点、人称等一般要作相应的变化。

|
here |
 |

其他变化:
通常来说, 第一人称代词转为第三人称单数或复数(除非讲话者在引用自己的话):
I/me/my/mine, you/your/yours him/his/her/hers
we/us/our/ours, you/your/yours they/their/theirs:
He said: "I like your new car." He told her that he liked her new car.
I said: "I'm going tomy friend's house." I said that I was going to my friend's house.
通常来说,转换成间接引语时,要在直接引语时间的基础上提前一个时态:
She said, "I am tired." She said that shewas tired.
变化如下:
一般现在时 |
 |
一般过去时 |
"I always drink coffee", she said |
|
She said that she always drank coffee.
|
现在进行时 |
 |
过去进行时 |

|
一般过去时 |
 |

She said, "I'll be using the car next Friday". |
|
She said that she would be using the car next Friday. |
2. 直接引语与间接引语变化中的三要素 |
要素一:陈述句的间接引语——连接词用that,在口语中可省略。引述动词用said, told, 等。例如:
1) He said: “I’ve left my book in my room.”→
He told me that he had left his book in his room.
2) Shesaid: “He will be busy.”→
Shesaidthat he would be busy.
要素二: 疑问句的间接引语。一般疑问句后连接词用if或whether,而引述选择疑问句时只能用whether,引述动词用asked,没有间接引语的可以加一个间接宾语me, him等(去掉问号)例如:
1)She said to Tom, “Can you help me?”→ She asked Tom if /whether he could help her.
She asked, “Is this book yours or his?”→She asked me whether that book was mine or his.
2) 特殊疑问句用原句中的疑问词作连接词,改为陈述语序(即S+V+...)。
例如: The teacher asked, “how did you repair it?” → The teacher asked mehow I had repaired it.
要素三:祈使句的间接引语——采用“动词+宾语+不定式”结构。
told
即 asked sb. (not) to do sth.
ordered
warned
注意:引语中的呼语可改成宾语。引语中的please 去掉,动词改为 ask
1) The teacher said to the students, “Don’t waste your time.” →The teacher told the students not to waste their time.
2) The mother said, “Tom, get up early, please.”→The mother asked Tom to get up early.
|
3. 直接引语与间接引语变化中需要注意的“五不变” |
1. 直接引语如果是客观真理,谚(习)语,变间接引语时时态不变。例如:
The teacher said, “The earthgoes round the sun.”→ The teacher said that the earth goes round the sun.
My father said, “Practicemakes perfect.”→My father said practicemakes perfect.
2. 直接引语中被引述的部分是反复出现的,习惯性的动作或说话时情况仍然存在的,变间接引语时时态不变。例如:
The boy said to us, “ I usuallyget up at six every day.”→The boy told us he usually gets up at six every day.
He said, “Weare still students.’→He said theyare still students.
3. 直接引语如果有明确的表示过去的时间状语时态不变。例如:
He said to me, “I was born in 1978.”→He told me that he was born in 1978.
The engineer said, “I was at college in 1967.”→ The engineer said he was at college in 1967.
4.直接引语中凡有When, since,while 引导的从句,在变为间接引语时,只改变主句时态,从句的时态不变。例如:
He said, “I have studied English since Iwas a boy.” →He said he had studied English since hewas a boy.
She said, “Iread the book while Iwas waiting for a bus.→ She said shehad read the book while shewas waiting for a bus.
Mr. Green said to them, “Joetold me all about his story when he asked for a job.”→Mr. Green told them Joehad told him all about his story when he asked for a job.
5.如果直接引语中引述部分含有insist, suggest, demand等引导的虚拟宾语从句,变间接引语时,引语中的主从句时态都不变。例如:
He said, “Weinsisted that she start immediately.→ He said they (had) insisted that she start immediately.
She said, “He demanded that the girl leave at once.”→She said he demanded that the girl leave at once.
另外如果说话人转述自己的话,人称不变. 例如:
I said to him, “I have finished it.”→I told him I had finished it.
如果就在当地转述, here不必变为there,come不必改为go,如果就在当天转述,则today, yesterday, tomorrow等状语不变。例如:
She said to us, I’ll come here tomorrow.”→She told us she would come here tomorrow.
如果在电话上转述别人的话,则前后时态不变。 例如:
Daniel:Please tell Amy I have the information she wants.→Mrs Zhao(said to Amy):Daniel says he has the information you want. | | | | | | | |
