[同步语法精讲]
直接引语与间接引语
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)
·28·
二、时态的变化

组织者说:“我们已开始了我们的计划。”(直接引语为现在完成时)
The organiser said that they had begun their plan.
组织者说,他们已开始了他们的计划。(间接引语为过去完成时)
[名师指津]直接引语变间接引语,时态无变化的情况:

(2)直接引语中有具体的过去的某年、某月、某日作状语。

昨天老师对我们说:“早起的鸟儿有虫吃。”(直接引语是谚语)

那个人说:“我今天会很忙。”(直接引语中用today)
->The man said he would be very busy that day.
那个人说,那天他会很忙。(间接引语中改为that day)
四、连接词的选择
1.直接引语是陈述句,变为间接引语时,常变成由that引导的宾语从句,在
口语中,that可以省略。
He said,"I was cooking when the earthquake happened."
>He said (that)he was cooking when the earthquake happened.
[名师指津]直接引语是陈述句时,若变为间接引语,主句谓语动词“sid
tosb.”常改为“told sb.”。
She said to me,“I came back an hour ago.”
-She told me (that)she had come back an hour before.
2.直接引语是一般疑问句、选择疑问句或反意疑问句时,间接引语中用
whether(...or.,或.,.or not)或if引导。
He said,"Are you interested in English?"
-He asked (me)if/whether I was interested in English.
[名师指津]如果主句中谓语动词是said,则将其改为asked。
3.直接引语为特殊疑问句时,间接引语仍用原句中的特殊疑问词来引导,其
余的变化遵照直接引语和间接引语之间的转换规则来进行。
p“What's your name?”he asked me.
He asked me what my name was.
[名师指津]疑问句的直接引语变间接引语时,要把疑问语序变成陈述句
语序。
五、祈使句变间接引语
如果直接引语是表示命令、建议或提议、请求、警告或提醒的祈使句,变
为间接引语时通常要将祈使句的动词原形变成带o的不定式,并在不定式
前根据句意以及说话者当时的语气或态度加上ask,tell,order,suggest,
advise,beg,warn,remind,invite,request,command,encourage等a动词。
1.表示命令的祈使句
引述表示命令的祈使句,变间接引语时常采用ask tell,order sb.todo
sth.的形式。
"Finish the task in ten minutes,"the manager said to the clerk.
-The manager told the clerk to finish the task in ten minutes.
·31·
p“Keep silent!”said the chairman.
->The chairman ordered to keep silent.
2.表示建议等的析使句
当直接引语为表示建议、提议、请求、劝告的祈使句时,多用suggest十
doing./that从句(suggest后接that从句时,从句使用虚拟语气should+
动词原形,should可以省略),及ask/advise./want/beg十sb.+todo等
结构。
Mary said,"Let's go to the art exhibition this afternoon.
->Mary suggested our going to the art exhibition that afternoon.
-Mary suggested that we (should)go to the art exhibition that
afternoon.
p“Please have a rest,”she said to us.
-She asked us to have a rest.
3.表示警告或提醒的祈使句
引述表示警告或提醒的祈使句用remind,warn等词转述。
"Take an umbrella in case of rain,"his mother said to him.
-His mother reminded him to take an umbrella in case of rain.
The leader said to the workers,"Don't speak while working.
-The leader warned the workers not to speak while working.
[名师指津](1)无论是否定祈使句,还是表示委婉语气的否定疑问句,在
变为间接引语时,要用不定式的否定形式:not/never to do sth.。
(2)直接引语中的称呼语变为间接引语时,一般把它当作主句谓语动词的
宾语用。
She said,“Don't make so much noise,children!”
-She told the children not to make so much noise.
六、表示请求的一般疑问句变间接引语
若直接引语是“Could/,Can/Will/Would..please?”类型的一般疑问句,
变间接引语时常用“ask sb.to do sth.”结构,且please要去掉。
"Would you buy some bread for me?"he said to her.
-He asked her to buy some bread for him.
"Would you sleep and get up early,children?"Father said.
-Father asked the children to sleep and get up early.
七、感叹句变间接引语
直接引语为感叹句时,间接引语可用what或how引导,也可以用that
引导。
p“What a beautiful dress it is!”the girl said to her friend.
->The girl told her friend what a beautiful dress it was.
-The girl told her friend that it was a very beautiful dress.
