直接引語轉(zhuǎn)換間接引語的解析
直接引語和間接引語
一、 間接引語的概念和變化規(guī)律
1、間接引語是用自己的話去轉(zhuǎn)述別人的話。
引用或轉(zhuǎn)述別人說的話時(shí),采用兩種形式:一是一字不改地將別人的話加以引用,這叫直接引語;二是用自己的話加以轉(zhuǎn)述,這叫間接引語。一般來講,直接引語須放在引號(hào)內(nèi),間接引語不必用引號(hào),而且多用賓語從句的形式表達(dá)。例如:
She said, “I was ill yesterday.”
→She said that she had been ill the day before.
由以上例句可以看出,直接引語變?yōu)殚g接引語時(shí),不僅把直接引語變?yōu)橘e語從句,增加連詞that,而且還需相應(yīng)地改變代詞、動(dòng)詞和狀語。如I 變成了she,was變成had been,yesterday變成the day before。
2、直接引語變?yōu)殚g接引語時(shí),人稱代詞要根據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)述人的立場(chǎng)作相應(yīng)變動(dòng)。
人稱代詞的變動(dòng)情況要根據(jù)語境及轉(zhuǎn)述人的不同作相應(yīng)變化,一般情況下,與漢語中的變化相同??捎涀∫粋€(gè)口訣:“一主、二賓、三不變”。即第一人稱按照主句中的主語變化,第二人稱按照主句中的賓語變化,第三人稱一般不需要變化。例如:
1) He said, “I am glad to see you.”
→He said that he was glad to see me.
2) “Do you know the man over there?” Mary said to Tom.
→Mary asked Tom if he knew the man over there.
3) Jim said to me, “Jane left her schoolbag at home.”
→Jim told me that Jane had left her schoolbag at home.
3、間接引語中動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)的變化。
1)當(dāng)引述的動(dòng)詞為現(xiàn)在時(shí)形式時(shí),間接引語中的動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)不變。例如:
Tom says, “Our teacher is kind to us.”
→Tom says that their teacher is kind to them.
2)當(dāng)引述的動(dòng)詞為過去時(shí)形式時(shí),間接引語中的動(dòng)詞作如下變更:
一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)→一般過去時(shí) 過去進(jìn)行時(shí)→不變
一般過去時(shí)→過去完成時(shí) 將來進(jìn)行時(shí)→過去將來進(jìn)行時(shí)
一般將來時(shí)→過去將來時(shí) 現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)→過去完成時(shí)
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)→過去進(jìn)行時(shí) 過去完成時(shí)→不變
He said, “I will leave for Beijing tomorrow.”
→He said that he would leave for Beijing the next day.
如果所轉(zhuǎn)述的內(nèi)容表示客觀真理或有表示某一絕對(duì)具體的過去時(shí)間作狀語,間接引語中動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)不變。例如:
The teacher said, “The earth is round.”
→The teacher said that the earth is round.
He said, “I was born in 1980.”
→He said that he was born in 1980.
4、直接引語變?yōu)殚g接引語時(shí),指示代詞、時(shí)間狀語、地點(diǎn)狀語和表示“方向”動(dòng)詞的變化。
this → that, these → those; now → then, today → that day, tomorrow → the next (following) day, next week → the next week, yesterday → the day before, last night → the night before, ago → before; here → there; come → go.
如果在當(dāng)?shù)剞D(zhuǎn)述, here不必改為there, 動(dòng)詞come不必改為 go; 如果在當(dāng)天轉(zhuǎn)述,yesterday,tomorrow等時(shí)間狀語也不必改變。例如:
Kate said, “I will come here tomorrow to help these children with their English.”
→Kate said that she would go there the next day to help those children with their English.(不是在當(dāng)天當(dāng)?shù)剞D(zhuǎn)述)
→Kate said that she will come here tomorrow to help these children with their English.(在當(dāng)天當(dāng)?shù)剞D(zhuǎn)述)
二、當(dāng)直接引語是陳述句時(shí)
直接引語是陳述句時(shí),間接引語用that引導(dǎo),但在口語中that可以省去。從句中的人稱、時(shí)態(tài)、指示代詞、時(shí)間狀語和地點(diǎn)狀語等要作相應(yīng)的變化。例如:
She said to me, “I came back an hour ago.”
→She said to/told me that she had come back an hour before.
三、當(dāng)直接引語是一般疑問句、選擇疑問句、反意疑問句時(shí)
1、原句若為一般疑問句時(shí),用whether或if 轉(zhuǎn)述;原句若為選擇疑問句時(shí),用whether…or…/…or not;原句若為反意疑問句,則常用whether或if 轉(zhuǎn)述。
2、疑問句語序變?yōu)殛愂鼍湔Z序。
3、主句中的謂語動(dòng)詞為said時(shí),要改為asked;沒有間接賓語時(shí),可以加一個(gè)間接賓語(如me,him等)。
4、句末用句號(hào)。
5、從句中的人稱、動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)和狀語等也要作相應(yīng)的變化。
He said, “Are you interested in English?”
→He asked (me) if /whether I was interested in English.
I asked him, “Will you stay at home or go to a film tonight?”
→I asked him whether he would stay at home or go to a film that night.
“You’ve already got well, haven’t you?” she asked.
→She asked (me) whether/if I had already got well.
四、當(dāng)直接引語是特殊疑問句時(shí)
如果直接引語是特殊疑問句,改為間接引語時(shí),仍用原句中的wh-類的詞引導(dǎo),其余的變化同直接引語為一般疑問句的情況2—5條一樣。例如:
“What is your name?” he asked me.
→He asked me what my name was.
He asked: “Where are you to get off, Peter?”
→He asked Peter where he was to get off.
如果在直接引語的特殊疑問句中,疑問詞作主語或主語的修飾語,則語序不需要變化。例如:
“Whose picture is the most beautiful in your class?” asked the boy’s father.
→The boy’s father asked him whose picture was the most beautiful in his class.
五、當(dāng)直接引語是祈使句時(shí)
直接引語為祈使句,變?yōu)殚g接引語可用如下的結(jié)構(gòu)“主語+asked/advised sb. (not) to do sth.”。
1、需將原祈使句中謂語動(dòng)詞變成不定式。如果祈使句為否定句,則用不定式的否定形式,即在不定式前加not。
2、原主句謂語動(dòng)詞said須改為asked,told,ordered,warned或advised等含有祈使意義的能帶賓補(bǔ)的及物動(dòng)詞。
3、原句有“please”時(shí),主句謂語多用asked(請(qǐng)求),并去掉please。例如:
He said to me, “Shut the window, please.”
→He asked me to shut the window.
He said, “Don’t make so much noise.”
→He told us not to make so much noise.
如果以let開頭的祈使句表示勸告或建議,可用“suggest + that從句”或“suggest doing”來轉(zhuǎn)述。例如:
“Let’s go to the cinema.” Tom said.
→Tom suggested that they (should) go to the cinema.
→Tom suggested going to the cinema.
六、直接引語是感嘆句時(shí)
直接引語是感嘆句變間接引語時(shí)仍可用what或how引導(dǎo),詞序不變,也可用that 引導(dǎo),將句子變成相應(yīng)的名詞性從句。例如:
She said, “What a lovely day it is!”
→She said what a lovely day it was.
→She said that it was a lovely day.
