直接引语和间接引语
一、概念
引述别人的话时,一般采用两种方式:一是引用别人的原话,把它放在引号内,称为直接引语;二是用自己的话加以转述,被转述的话不放在引号内,称为间接引语。间接引语在大多数情况下是一个宾语从语。直接引语变成间接引语时,要注意以下几点:人称变化、时态变化、宾语从句要用陈述语序。例如:
直接引语:He said,“I want to have a drink now.”
间接引语:He said that he wanted to have a drink then.
二、变身方法
1. 人称变化:
口诀:一主二宾三不变。即直接引语的第一人称取决于主句的主语,第二人称取决于主句的宾语,第三人称一般不变。
1)He said, “I get on well with people here.”
→He said that he got on well with people there.
2)Susan said, “We can finish the work tomorrow.”
→Susan said that they could finish the work the next day.
3)John said, “Mary went to Beijing three days ago.”
→John said that Mary had gone to Beijing three days before.
2.时态变化:
口诀:主句现在从不变,主句过去从顺延。即如果主句中的谓语动词是现在时,宾语从句中谓语动词的时态可以不变;如果主句的谓语动词是一般过去时,则从句谓语动词的时态要变为相应的过去时态或过去完成时。
He said, “ I get up early every morning.”
He said that he got up early every morning.
(一般现在时→一般过去时)
2) She said, “I am working on a homework project.”
She said she was working on a homework project.
(现在进行时→过去进行时)
3) She said, “ I met my fr
