Section Ⅲ Learning About Language——直接引语与间接引语
将下列教材中的直接引语变为间接引语并体会它们的变化
1.The expert said, “From the position of its dead body, the bear appeared to have starved and died.”
__The_expert_said_that_from_the_position_of_its_dead_body,the_bear_appeared_to_have_starved_and_died.__
2.The reporter asked, “Will polar bears die out because of climate change?”
__The_reporter_asked_whether/if_polar_bears_would_die_out_because_of_climate_change.__
3.The reporter asked, “How can we save polar bears from extinction?”
__The_reporter_asked_how_we_could_save_polar_bears_from_extinction.__
4.“Let's work together to stop climate change,” the expert said.
__The_expert_advised_us_to_work_together_to_stop_climate_change.__
直接引语是直接引述别人的原话,直接引语一般前后要加引号。间接引语是用自己的话对别人的话进行转述,不用引号:
一、人称变化的三原则
1.“第一人称随主”原则
如果从句中的主语是第一人称或被第一人称修饰,从句中的人称要按照主句中主语的人称变化。
►Mary said, “I want to have a computer of my own.”
玛丽说:“我想拥有一台我自己的电脑。”(直接引语内为第一人称)
→Mary said that she wanted to have a computer of her own.
玛丽说,她想拥有一台她自己的电脑。(间接引语中随主语改为第三人称)
2.“第二人称随宾”原则
如果从句中的主语及宾语是第二人称或被第二人称修饰,从句中的人称要跟引号外的主句的宾语一致。如果引号外的主句没有宾语,也可以用第一人称。
►Her colleague said to her, “Who did you ask for a leave?”她的同事对她说:“你向谁请了假?”(直接引语中为第二人称)
→Her colleague asked her who she had asked for a leave.她的同事问她向谁请了假。(间接引语中随宾语改为第三人称)
3.“第三人称不更新”原则
指直接引语变间接引语时,直接引语中出现的第三人称的代词一般不需要变化。
►Mr Li said, “Jack is a good worker.”
李先生说:“杰克是一位好工人。”(直接引语为第三人称)
→Mr Li said Jack was a good worker.
李先生说杰克是一位好工人。(改为间接引语后人称不变)
[即时训练1]——将下列句子改为间接引语
(1)He said, “I am proud of my motherland.”
→__He_said_that_he_was_proud_of_his_motherland.__
(2)“You are wasting your time daydreaming!”he said to Mary.
→__He_told_Mary_that_she_was_wasting_her_time_daydreaming.__
(3)Mr Smith said, “Mary's voice is wonderful.”
→__Mr_Smith_said_Mary's_voice_was_wonderful.__
二、时态的变化
