2、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句。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、宾语从句要用陈述句语序等。1. 直接引语是陈述句，变成间接引语时，由连词 that 引导。例如：She said, “I am very happy to be with you.” She said (that) she was very happy to be with me.He said,“I will choose a book for my students.” He said(that)he would choose a book for
3、his students.2. 直接引语是一般疑问句时，变成间接引语，由连词 whether或 if 引导。例如：He asked me, “Do you like watching TV?” He asked me if/whether I liked watching TV.He asked, “Are you sure your mother will come?”He asked me whether / if I was sure my mother would come.注意：大多数情况下， if 和 whether 在引导宾语从句时可以互换，但后紧跟 or not 时,一般只用
4、whether。例如：She asked me whether or not he could do the work. / She asked me whether he could do the work or not.3. 直接引语是特殊疑问句，变成间接引语时，由相应的连接词who, whom, what, whose, how, when, why, where 等引导。例如：He asked: “Where are you to get off, John?” He asked John where he was to get off.My sister asked me, “How
5、 do you like the play?” My sister asked me how I liked the play.Tom asked me, “Who is the boy over there?”Tom asked me, “Who was the boy over there?”4. 直接引语是祈使句，其间接引语由主语+动词 ask(委婉语气) ，tell(一般语气)，order (命令语气)或 warn, advise 等+复合宾语( 名/ 代词+ 动词不定式) 构成。如：He said, “Please come here again tomorrow.”He asked
6、 me to go there again the next day.“Be careful with the dog.”He warned me to be careful with the dog.5. 直接引语变间接引语时，如果引述动词为过去式，需注意时态的变化：如：1) Betty said, “Lingling is singing in the classroom now.” 现在进行时Betty said Lingling was singing in the class room then.-过去进行时2) He said, “I will go to London next
7、week.” 一般将来时He said he would go to London next week. 过去将来时3) My mother said, “I have already cleaned the house.” 现在完成时My mother said she had already cleaned the house. 过去完成时注意:1. 直接引语是客观事实、普遍真理等，主句尽管是过去时态，变成间接引语时，时态仍然用一般现在时态。例如：They told their son,“The earth goes round the sun.”They told their son t
8、hat the earth goes round the sun.2. 直接引语变间接引语时， 指示代词、时间状语、地点状语、动词等要作相应的变化。如：thisthat, thesethose, nowthen, todaythat day, yesterdaythe day before, last yearthe year before, agobefore, herethere comego 等。例如：He said, “I havent seen them today.” He said that he hadnt seen them that day.但是，如果转述时对话人双方就在原
9、来的地方，或在说话的当天，就不必改变相应的时间状语、地点状语等。总之,对这些变化不能机械理解，应根据实际情况来决定所作的变化。3. 间接引语一般要用陈述句的语序，即主、谓、宾的顺序。例如：He asked Lucy,“Where did you go?”He asked Lucy where she w请把下列各句中的直接引语改为间接引语。1.
