英语计划总结之直接引语变为间接引语时的“变”与“不变”

英语计划总结之直接引语变为间接引语时的“变”与“不变” 引述别人的话一般有两种方式，一种是原封不动地引用他人的原话，把它放在引号内，这叫做直接引语；另一种是用自己的话转述他人的话，不用引号，叫做间接引语。直接引语变为间接引语时，句子中的人称代词、动词时态、主谓语序、时间状语和地点状语等往往要作相应的变化，而有时却不需要变化。现将这些“变”与“不变”的情况进行一下归纳。一、“变”的情况1. 人称的变化（1）直接引语中的主语是第一人称时，间接引语中的主语应变为第三人称。例如：He said,“I like reading newspapers.”He said he liked reading newspapers.（2）直接引语中的主语是第二人称时，如果原话是针对转述人说的，则间接引语中的主语应转换为第一人称；但若原话是针对第三者说的，则间接引语的主语应为第三人称。例如：“You should do your homework carefully,”the teacher said to me.The teacher said to me that I should do my homework carefully.“You mustnt play football in the street,”the policeman said to the boys.The policeman said to the boys that they mustnt play football in the street.（3）人称的变化还包括形容词性物主代词和名词性物主代词的相应变化。例如：He said, “I have lost my pen.”He said that he had lost his pen.She said,“The book on the desk is mine.” She said that the book on the desk was hers.2. 句子结构的变化（1）如果直接引语是陈述句，变为间接引语时应该转换成由连词that引导的宾语从句，在口语中that 常被省略。例如：She says,“I am going to visit my uncle.”She said that she was going to see her uncle.（2）如果直接引语是一般疑问句、选择疑问句或反意疑问句，将它们变为间接引语时，应变成由连词if 或 whether 引导的宾语从句，宾语从句的语序应为陈述语序。例如：He asked, “Has she come?”He asked if she had come.Her brother said, “Does the teacher know it or not?”Her brother asked whether the teacher knew it or not.（3）如果直接引语是特殊疑问句，变为间接引语时，仍用原来的特殊疑问词引导宾语从句，从句中要用陈述语序。例如：He said,“When will we arrive in Shanghai?”He asked when they would arrive in Shanghai.He said, “What grade are you in?”He asked what grade I was in.（4）如果直接引语是祈使句，将其变为间接引语时，应根据意思上的需要，选用“ask/tell/order/advise/request+宾语+带to的不定式”结构。例如：He says to us, “Be quite.”He asked us to be quiet.“Dont go out, ”she says to me.She told me not to go out.3. 时态的变化主句中的谓语动词为一般过去时时，间接引语中的谓语动词时态需作以下变化：（1）将直接引语中的一般现在时变为一般过去时。例如：He said, “This book is yours.”He said that book was mine.（2）将直接引语中的现在进行时变为过去进行时。例如：The teacher said,“The children are reading a text.”The teacher said the children were reading a text.（3）将直接引语中的现在完成时变为过去完成时。例如：He said,“I have read the book.”He said he had read the book.（4）将直接引语中的一般将来时变为过去将来时。例如：He said, “Ill wait for you outside the school gate.”He said he would wait for me outside the school gate.（5）将直接引语中的一般过去时变为过去完成时。例如：She said, “I bought the book yesterday.”She said she had bought the book the day before.4. 其它的变化直接引语变为间接引语时，其中的时间状语、地点状语以及某些对比性的指示代词和动词也要作相应的变化，如：yesterday变为the day before，here变为there, come变为go，this变为that, these变为those 等。例如：He said,“I will stay here.”He said that he would stay there.“I bought these flowers for you,”she said.She said she had bought those flowers for me.二、“不变”的情况1. 如果说话人引述自己的话，人称代词便不必变化。例如：I said,“I have been to Beijing.”I said I had been to Beijing.2.主句中的谓语动词为一般现在时时，直接引语中谓语动词的时态在间接引语中不变。例如：He asks, “Where do you come from?”He asks where I come from.3. 直接引语中比较具体的时间状语，在间接引语中可以不变，谓语动词的时态也不变。例如：“It happened in 2008,” he said.He said it happened in 2008.4. 如果直接引语叙述的是客观事实、自然现象、谚语、格言等，那么直接引语中的一般现在时在间接引语中不变。例如：The boy asked,“Does water boil at 100？”The boy asked if water boils at 100。The teacher said,“The earth turns around the sun.”The teacher said t
