直接引語轉換為間接引語的技巧
引述某人的話一般采用兩種形式:一種是直接引語,即原封不動地引用原話,把它放在引號內;另一種是間接引語,即用自己的話加以轉述,被轉述的內容不放在引號內。下面我們一起來學習幾種直接引語轉換為間接引語的技巧。
一、人稱的轉換
1. 直接引語中的第一人稱,一般轉換為第三人稱
如:He said,“I am very sorry.”→He said that he was very sorry.
2. 直接引語中的第二人稱,如果原話是針對轉述人說的,應轉換為第一人稱
如:“You should be more careful next time.”my father told me.→ My father told me that I should be more careful the next time.
3. 直接引語中的第二人稱,如果原話是針對第三人稱說的,要轉換成第三人稱
如:She said to her son, “I’ll check your homework tonight.”→ She said to her son that she would check his homework that night.
4. 人稱的轉換包括人稱代詞、物主代詞和名詞性物主代詞等
如:He asked me,“Will you go to the station with me to meet a friend of mine this afternoon?”→He asked me whether I would go to the station with him to meet a friend of his that afternoon.
5. 口訣巧記人稱變化
口訣:“一主、二賓、三不變”。
(1)“一主”指當直接引語中的第一人稱變?yōu)殚g接引語時,要和主句中的主語在人稱上保持一致。
如:He said,“I am forty.”→ He said that he was forty.
(2)“二賓”指當直接引語中的第二人稱變?yōu)殚g接引語時,要和主句中的間接賓語保持人稱上的一致。
如:He said,“Are you coming tomorrow?”→He asked me if I was coming the next day.
(3)“三不變”指當直接引語中的第三人稱變?yōu)殚g接引語時,人稱不變。
如:He said,“Is she an English teacher?”→ He asked if she was an English teacher.
另外請同學們注意,直接引語為復數,引述者主語為單數時,間接引語的主語要相應變?yōu)閺蛿怠?/p>
如:He said,“Are you interested in English?”→ He asked us if we were interested in English.
總之,人稱的轉換不是固定的,具體情況具體對待,要符合邏輯。
二、時態(tài)的轉換
直接引語轉換為間接引語時,主句中的謂語動詞如果是過去時,從句(即間接引語部分)中的謂語動詞在時態(tài)方面要做相應的變化,變成過去時范疇的各種時態(tài)(實際這也是賓語從句對時態(tài)的要求),變化如下:
如:“I am very glad to visit your school”,she said. →She said she was very glad to visit our school.
Tom said,“We are listening to the pop music.”→ Tom said that they were listening to the pop music.
Mother asked,“Have you finished your homework
before you watch TV?” → Mother asked me whether I had finished my homework before I watched TV.
He asked the conductor,“Where shall I get off to change to a No. 3 bus?”→ He asked the conductor where he would get off to change to a No. 3 bus.
“Why did she refuse to go there?” the teacher asked. →The teacher asked why she had refused to go there.
三、 句子結構的變化
1. 直接引語為陳述句時,用連詞that引導,that在口語中常省略。主句的謂語動詞可用said,也可用told來代替。請注意,可以說said that, said to sb. that或者told sb. that,不可直接說told that。
如:He said,“I have been to the Great Wall.”→He said to us that he had been to the Great Wall.
He said,“I’ll give you an examination next Monday.”→He told us that he would give us an examination the next Monday.
如果間接引語是由that引導的兩個或兩個以上的并列從句,第一個連詞可以省略,以后的連詞一般不省略,以免混亂。
如:The doctor said,“You are not seriously ill, you will be better soon.”→The doctor said(that)I was not seriously ill and that I would be better soon.
2. 直接引語為一般疑問句時,間接引語用連詞whether或if引導,原主句中的謂語動詞said要改為asked,語序是陳述句的語序,這一點非常重要。
如:He said,“Do you have any difficulty with
pronunciation?”→He asked(me) whether/if I had any difficulty with my pronunciation.
He said,“You are interested in English, aren’t you?”→He asked whether I was interested in English.
3. 直接引語為選擇疑問句時,間接引語用whether...or...表達,而不用if...or...,也不用either...or...,語序是陳述句語序。
如:He asked,“Do you speak English or French?”→ He asked me whether I spoke English or French.
I asked,“Will you take bus or take train?”→ I asked him whether he would take bus or take train.
4. 直接引語為特殊疑問句時,原來的疑問詞作為間接引語的連詞,主句的謂語動詞用ask(sb.)來表達,語序改為陳述句語序。
如:He asked,“What’s your name?”→He asked(me)what my name was.
He asked us,“How many car factories have been built in your country?”→He asked us how many car factories had been built in our country.
5. 直接引語為祈使句時,間接引語用帶to的不定式表達,謂語動詞常是ask, advise, tell, warn, order,request等。如ask sb. to do(用于肯定祈使句),ask sb. not to do(用于否定祈使句)。不定式短語中的時間狀語、地點狀語、人稱及時態(tài)都做相應的變化。
如:He said,“Be seated, please.”→ He asked us to be seated.
“Do be careful with your handwritting.”he said →He told me to be careful with my handwriting.
“Don’t touch anything in the lab without permission”,the teacher said. → The teacher warned the students not to touch anything in the lab without permission.
6. 有些直接引語含有“建議”“勸告”的祈使句,可用suggest,insist,offer等動詞轉述。
如:He said,“Let’s have a rest.”→He suggested us having a rest.
He said,“Let me help you.”→ He offered to help me.
7. 當直接引語形式上是疑問句,有表示“請求”“建議”的意義時,可用ask sb. to do sth.,advise sb. to do sth.等形式轉述。
如:“Would you mind opening the door?”he asked. →He asked me to open the door.
“Why not going out for a walk?”he asked us. →He advised us to go out for a walk.
8. 直接引語是感嘆句時,可用what或how引導,也可用that引導。
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.
四、從句時態(tài)無須改變的情況
1. 當主句的謂語動詞是一般現在時時
如:He always says,“I am tired out.”→ He always says that he is tired out.
2. 當主句的謂語動詞是一般將來時時
如:He will say,“I’ll try my best to help you.”→ He will say that he will try his best to help me.
3. 當直接引語部分帶有具體的過去時間狀語時
如:He said,“I went to college in 1994.”→ He told us that he went to college in 1994.
4. 當直接引語中有以when, while引導的從句,表示過去的時間時
如:He said,“When I was a child, I usually played football after school.” →He said that when he was a child, he usually played football after school.
5. 當直接引語是客觀真理或自然現象時
如:Our teacher said to us,“Light travels faster than sound.” →Our teacher told us that light travels faster than sound.
6. 當直接引語是諺語、格言時
如:He said,“Practice makes perfect.” → He said that practice makes perfect.
7.當直接引語中有情態(tài)動詞should,would,could,had better,would rather,might,must,ought to,used to,need時
如:The doctor said,“You’d better drink plenty of water.” → The doctor said I’d better drink plenty of water.
He said, “She must be a teacher.” → He said that she must be a teacher.
He said,“She ought to have arrived her office by now.” →He said that she ought to have arrived her office by then.
She asked,“Must I take the medicine?” → She asked if she had to take the medicine.
8. 除以上情況外,直接引語與間接引語的轉換要因實際情況而定,不能機械地照搬。如果當地轉述,here不必改為there,動詞come不必改為go。如果當天轉述yesterday,tomorrow,this afternoon等均不必改變。
