⑤两句中,直接引语中的现在完成时,改变成了间接引语中的过去完成时。
⑥Mr Wu said, "I read the newspaper."
Mr Wu said that he had read the newspaper.
⑥两句中,直接引语中的一般过去时改变了间接引语中的过去完成时。直接引语中的动作read,saw发生在主句动作said之前,因此变成间接引语时要变成过去完成时。
⑦"We will look for more clues." Said Detective Jones.
Detective Jones said that they would look for more clues.
⑦两句中直接引语中的一般将来时,改变成了间接引语中的过去将来时,表示look for和catch up with这两个动作分别发生在主句动作"said和answered"之后,因此间接引语中要用过去将来时。
★直接引语变成间接引语时,直接引语中的指示代词,地点和时间状语等要作相应的变动。
①She said: "I will come here tonight."-She said that she would go there that night.
②Jack said to us, "These are my stamps."-Jack told us that those were his stamps.
③Lucy said: "My sister came back two days ago."
Lucy said that he sister had gone back two days before.
④Mr Hu answered, "They will arrive here tomorrow evening."
Mr Hu answered that they would arrive there the next evening.
这种改变可归纳成下表:
在直接引语中 在间接引语中
指示代词 this that
these those
地点状语 here there
动 词 come go
时间状语 now then
today that day
yesterday the day before
last week(year, ect.) the week(year, ect.) before
two days(a month, ect.) two days(a month, ect.) before
tomorrow the next(following) day
tomorrow morning the next(following) morning
next week(year, ect.) the next week(year, ect.)
【注】时间状语this afternoon在间接引语中没有改变。因为转述的是当天所说的话。这种情况下,时间状语可不作改变。如:
⑥Tom said: "I will finish the work this afternoon."
Tom said that he would finish the work this afternoon.
★如果直接引语是一个特殊疑问句,在变成间接引语时,除了要注意人称,状语等的变化和时态相对称外,还要注意间接引语中应用陈述句的语序,不能用疑问句的语序。同时不能用连词that,而要用特殊疑问句,句末用句号。
①The teacher asked, "What are you parents?"
问句或反意疑问句,在间接引语前要用连词whether或if。
①He asked, "Are you sure your mother will come?"
He asked if (whether) I was sure my mother would come.
②She asked, "Are you a student or a teacher?"
She asked me whether I was a student or a teacher.
【注】当引用的一个反意疑问句时,连词只能用whether。
③He asked, "you have a few friends in the new school, don't you?"
He asked me whether(if) I had a few friends in the new school.
★当直接引语是一个祈使句时,我们通常用一个含有复合宾语的简单句,把这个请求或命令表示出来,而不用复合句。
①He said, "Please come her earlier."
He asked me to go there earlier.
②The teacher said, "Don't do that again, children."
The teacher told children not to do that again.
③The captain said, "Get everything ready in two hours."
The captain ordered (told) us to get everything ready in two hours.
【注】在此用祈使句时,谓语动词可根据句子的口气来决定。
