语法要点:直接引语和间接引语属于宾语从句范畴。直接引述别人的原话,叫直接引语;用自己的话转述别人的话,或引用自己说过的话,叫间接引语。由 于时间、地点以及人物都有可能起变化,所以间接引语中的时态、人称、语序、指示代词、时间状语、地点状语等要作相应的变化。
1. 直接引语和间接引语的转换方法
① 间接引语语序改为陈述句语序
陈述句用 that 引导,口语中常省略 She said,例:
I am going to the cinema.
She said (that) she was going to the cinema.
② 一般疑问句
用if/whether连接,例:
Have you ever travelled by plane? she asked me.
She asked me if / whether I had travelled by plane.
③ 反意疑问句
用if/whether连接,例:
He asked,You are a doctor, arent you?
He asked (me) if / whether I was a doctor.
④ 特殊疑问句
由原疑问词连接(如疑问代词是主语,不要改变语序),例:
He asked, Who will come to help us?
He asked who would come to help them.
She said, Where have you been, Simon?
She asked Simon where he had been.
⑤ 选择疑问句
由 whetheror 引导,例:
Eddie said, Is this a TV set or a computer?
Eddie asked (me) whether that was a TV set or a computer.
⑥ 祈使句
用tell /ask /order someone (not) to do something 结构,将动词原形变为动词不定式,例:
Put up your hands, said the teacher.
The teacher told them to put up their hands.
Dont play football on the street, the policeman said.
The policeman ordered us not to play football on the street.
