Ⅴ.直接引語和間接引語之間的轉換
1785說話人講的話可以用兩種方式來引用。如果引用他的原話,就稱作直接引語。因此Hesaid,“Iamveryill.”為直接引語。如果按引用人的觀點來引用,則稱為間接引語。因此Hesaidthathewasveryill.為間接引語。Said這樣的動詞稱為引話動詞,它前面的主語,例如he,可稱為第一主語。引語中的主語,如I及he,稱為第二主語。引語中的謂語動詞稱為第二動詞。當直接引語轉換為間接引語,或間接引語轉換為直接引語時,有幾個問題需要注意。
A.大寫與標點
直接引語放在引號之內,第一個字母要大寫,引號前加逗號(間或用冒號),引語末加句號、問號或感嘆號,但在間接引語中卻不加這些。間接引語必須由that,whether(if)或疑問詞(who,why,when等)開頭,末尾要加句號。此外,在直接引語中問句可能有倒裝語序(助動詞放在主語前面),但在間接引語中,問句則需變為自然語序:
Isay,“Hewillcome.”
Isaythathewillcome.
Isay:“Whenwillhecome?”
Iaskwhenhewillcome.
B.引話動詞與第二動詞
引話動詞可以是say,remark,observe,claim,explain,con-firm;ask,enquire,question;answer,reply;declare,announce;beg,urge,suggest,request,demand;order,command;object,deny,admit,agree,argue;warn,threaten;think,reflect,consider;write,cable,phone,telex;shout,laugh,sneer等等。
若引話動詞是現在時或將來時,則當引語由直接變為間接時,第二動詞照舊不變。
但若引話動詞是過去時,則間接引語中的第二動詞,就要由現在時變為過去時,由過去時變為過去完成時等。
Isay(orwillsay)tohim,“Johnarrives(orwillarrive,arrived)onSunday.”Isay(orwillsay)tohimthatJohnarrives(orwillarrive,arrived)onSunday.Isaidtohim,“Johnarrives(orwillarrive,arrived)onSunday.
IsaidtohimthatJohnarrived(orwouldarrive,hadarrived)onSunday.
C.引話動詞與連詞
1.如果間接引語為陳述句,它前面通常都有:saythat,knowthat,tellhimthat,statethat,…
2.如果它是問句,它前面通常有:ask(him)whether(orif),inquire(ofhim)whether,demand(ofhim)whether,wonderwhether,wanttoknowwhether;或ask(him)+W(即疑問詞,如who,whom,when,why,which),inquire(ofhim)+W,…
3.如果它是感嘆句,它前面通常有:exclaimthat,cryoutwithjoythat,…
4.如果間接引語為祈使句,它前面通常有:demandthat,askthat,requestthat,advisethat,orderthat,…且里面包含助動詞should.此外間接引語還可以轉換為不定式短語,這時引話動詞需要改為賓補動詞:
1.Isaid,“Youareaniceboy”.
Isaidthathewasaniceboy.
Ithought,“Youwillfailagain.”
Ithoughtthathewouldfailagain.
2.Isaid,“Areyouaniceboy?”
Iaskedwhetherhewasaniceboy.
Ithoughttomyself,“Willhefailagain?”
Iaskedmyselfwhetherhewouldfailagain.
Ienquiredofhim,“Whoknowsit?”
Ienquiredofhimwhoknewit.
3.Isaid,“Whataniceboyyouare1
Iexclaimedthathewasindeedaniceboy.
Isaid,“Hurrah!Wehavewonthebattle.”
Icriedwithjoythatwehadwonthebattle.
Hesaid,“Curseit!Youareafool.”
HeexclaimedwithanoaththatIwasafool.
Hesaid,“Bravo!Youhavedonesomethingwonder-ful.”
Heapplaudedme,sayingthatIhaddonesomethingwonderful.
4.Isaidtohim,“Beaniceboy.”
Iadvisedthatheshouldbeaniceboy.
Iadvisedhimtobeaniceboy.
Isaidtohim,“Seemeatthestation.”
Irequestedthatheshouldseemeatthestation.
Irequestedhimtoseemeatthestation.
D.代詞
此外還要注意,把直接引語變為間接引語時,代詞需作改變。如果在直接引語中代詞為第一人稱,在變為間接引語時,將變為與第一主語一致的代詞。
Isaid,“Icandoit.”
IsaidthatIcoulddoit.
Hesaid,“Imustgo.”
Hesaidthathemustgo.
Yousaid,“Iknow.”
Yousaidthatyouknew.
Wesaid,“Wecandoit.”
Wesaidthatwecoulddoit.
Theysaid,“Wemustgo.”
Theysaidthattheymustgo.
Isaid“Wecandoit.”
Isaidthatwecoulddoit.(We中包括I)
如果在直接引語中,代詞為第二人稱,在間接引語中它將變成與引話動詞的賓語一致的人稱:
Itoldhim,“Youareright.”
Itoldhimthathewasright.
Itoldyou,“Youareright.”
Itoldyouthatyouwereright.
Hetoldme,“Youareright.”
HetoldmethatIwasright.
Hetoldus,“Youareright.”
Hetoldusthatwewereright.
Wetoldthem,“Youareright.”
Wetoldthemthattheywereright.”
Tosomebody也可看作是賓語:
Hesaidtome(=toldme),“Youareright.”
HesaidtomethatIwasright.
Heexplainedtothem,“Youhavegonethewrongway.”
Heexplainedtothemthattheyhadgonethewrongway.
引話動詞的賓語有時可以省略,但它在間接引語中可能需要說出來:
TheyaskedmewhenIwouldgetmarried.Isaid,“Youwilllearnitverysoon.”
…Isaidthattheywouldlearnitverysoon.
如果在直接引語中代詞為第三人稱,在間接引語中,它可以保持不變:
Itoldyou,“Heiscrazy.”
Itoldyouthatheiscrazy.
Hetoldme,“Sheiscrazy.”
Hetoldmethatshewascrazy.
Wetoldhim,“Theyarecrazy.”
Wetoldhimthattheywerecrazy.
Hetoldme,“Heiscrazy.”(這兩個he代表兩個不同的人)
Hetoldmethatacertainpersonwascrazy.
還需指出,上述代詞,在直接或間接引語中,可以為任何“格”,而不僅僅是主格:Hetoldme,“Iwillaskmybrothertotakemetothepictures.”
Hetoldmethathewouldaskhisbrothertotakehimtothepictures.
Hedeclared“Wemusturgethemtoreturnourterritorytous1
Hedeclaredthatwemusturgethemtoreturnourterritorytous.
E.時間副詞(短語)
間接引語中的時間副詞(短語)可能和直接引語中的時間副詞(短語)不同,這是因為原來說話人提到的時間可能與現在引話人提到的時間不同:
Hesaid,“Maryisverybusynow.”
HesaidthatMarywasverybusythen.
Hesaid,“Marycameyesterday.”
HesaidthatMaryhadcomethedaybefore(orthepreviousday).
Hesaid,“Marycamefivedaysago.”
HesaidthatMaryhadcomefivedaysbefore(orfivedaysearlier).
Hesaid,“Marywillcometomorrow.”
HesaidthatMarywouldcomethefollowingday(orthenextday).
Hesaid,“Marywillcomeinfivedays1
HesaidthatMarywouldcomefivedaysafterwards(orlater).
F.第一主語及引話動詞的位置
在新聞報導中第一主語有時放在引話動詞的后面:
SaidStevens,“…”
CommentsDr.Lee,“…”
BoastedAsiaBankpresidentJohnBush,“…”
第一主語及引話動詞,除了放在直接引語前面外,還可放在其他位置:
Hesaid,“Oh!Ihavedonemybest.”
“Oh1hesaid,“Ihavedonemybest.”(但不說saidhe)
“Oh!Ihavedonemybest,”hesaid.(但不說saidhe)
“Oh!Ihavedonemybest.”(如果大家都清楚這話是誰說的,第一主語及引話動詞也可不必說出。)
在第一主語及引話動詞放在其他位置時,要注意標點符號:
Hesaid,“Oh,Ihavedonemybest;Ihavemadeeveryeffort.Butallinvain.”“Oh,”hesaid,“Ihavedonemybest;Ihavemadeeveryeffort.Butallinvain.”“Oh,Ihavedonemybest,”hesaid;“Ihavemadeeveryeffort,Butallinvain.”如果引話動詞有較長的修飾語,最好把它放在主語及引話動詞前面,如果主語及引話動詞在直接引語后面,長修飾語最好放在引話動詞后面:
Afterashortspaceofsilencehesaid,“I'llconsiderthisproblem.”
“I'llconsiderthisproblem,”hesaidafterashortspaceofsilence.
如果主語和引話動詞放在直接引語的中間或后面,作主語的名詞可以放在引話動詞
的后面或前面(若主語是人稱代詞,只能放在動詞后面):
“Ithinkso,”hesaid(orLeosaid,saidLeo).(很少說saidhe)
“EverythingisOK1shesays(orAmysays,saysAmy).(很少說saysshe)Ⅵ.簡單句的合并
1786兩個或更多簡單句可以合并成一個比較復雜的句子,這種練習對學習寫作的人很有好處。兩個或更多簡單句可借助并列連詞合并成一個復合句:
HesawJohn.Hegreetedhim.
HesawJohnandhegreetedhim.
IcalledonMary.Marywasill.
IcalledonMary,butMarywasill.

Ⅴ.直接引語和間接引語之間的轉換
1785說話人講的話可以用兩種方式來引用。如果引用他的原話,就稱作直接引語。因此Hesaid,“Iamveryill.”為直接引語。如果按引用人的觀點來引用,則稱為間
接引語。因此Hesaidthathewasveryill.為間接引語。Said這樣的動詞稱為引話動詞,它前面的主語,例如he,可稱為第一主語。引語中的主語,如I及he,稱為第二主語。引語中的謂語動詞稱為第二動詞。當直接引語轉換為間接引語,或間接引語轉換為直接引語時,有幾個問題需要注意。
A.大寫與標點
直接引語放在引號之內,第一個字母要大寫,引號前加逗號(間或用冒號),引語末加句號、問號或感嘆號,但在間接引語中卻不加這些。間接引語必須由that,whether(if)或疑問詞(who,why,when等)開頭,末尾要加句號。此外,在直接引語中問句可能有倒裝語序(助動詞放在主語前面),但在間接引語中,問句則需變為自然語序:
Isay,“Hewillcome.”
Isaythathewillcome.
Isay:“Whenwillhecome?”
Iaskwhenhewillcome.
B.引話動詞與第二動詞
引話動詞可以是say,remark,observe,claim,explain,con-firm;ask,enquire,question;answer,reply;declare,announce;beg,urge,suggest,request,demand;order,command;object,deny,admit,agree,argue;warn,threaten;think,reflect,consider;write,cable,phone,telex;shout,laugh,sneer等等。
若引話動詞是現在時或將來時,則當引語由直接變為間接時,第二動詞照舊不變。但若引話動詞是過去時,則間接引語中的第二動詞,就要由現在時變為過去時,由過去時變為過去完成時等。
Isay(orwillsay)tohim,“Johnarrives(orwillarrive,arrived)onSunday.”Isay(orwillsay)tohimthatJohnarrives(orwillarrive,arrived)onSunday.Isaidtohim,“Johnarrives(orwillarrive,arrived)onSunday.
IsaidtohimthatJohnarrived(orwouldarrive,hadarrived)onSunday.
C.引話動詞與連詞
1.如果間接引語為陳述句,它前面通常都有:saythat,knowthat,tellhimthat,statethat,…
2.如果它是問句,它前面通常有:ask(him)whether(orif),inquire(ofhim)whether,demand(ofhim)whether,wonderwhether,wanttoknowwhether;或ask(him)+W(即疑問詞,如who,whom,when,why,which),inquire(ofhim)+W,…
3.如果它是感嘆句,它前面通常有:exclaimthat,cryoutwithjoythat,…
4.如果間接引語為祈使句,它前面通常有:demandthat,askthat,requestthat,advisethat,orderthat,…且里面包含助動詞should.此外間接引語還可以轉換為不定式短語,這時引話動詞需要改為賓補動詞:
1.Isaid,“Youareaniceboy”.
Isaidthathewasaniceboy.
Ithought,“Youwillfailagain.”
Ithoughtthathewouldfailagain.
2.Isaid,“Areyouaniceboy?”
Iaskedwhetherhewasaniceboy.
Ithoughttomyself,“Willhefailagain?”
Iaskedmyselfwhetherhewouldfailagain.
Ienquiredofhim,“Whoknowsit?”
Ienquiredofhimwhoknewit.
3.Isaid,“Whataniceboyyouare1
Iexclaimedthathewasindeedaniceboy.
Isaid,“Hurrah!Wehavewonthebattle.”
Icriedwithjoythatwehadwonthebattle.
Hesaid,“Curseit!Youareafool.”
HeexclaimedwithanoaththatIwasafool.
Hesaid,“Bravo!Youhavedonesomethingwonder-ful.”
Heapplaudedme,sayingthatIhaddonesomethingwonderful.
4.Isaidtohim,“Beaniceboy.”
Iadvisedthatheshouldbeaniceboy.
Iadvisedhimtobeaniceboy.
Isaidtohim,“Seemeatthestation.”
Irequestedthatheshouldseemeatthestation.
Irequestedhimtoseemeatthestation.
D.代詞
此外還要注意,把直接引語變為間接引語時,代詞需作改變。如果在直接引語中代詞為第一人稱,在變為間接引語時,將變為與第一主語一致的代詞。
Isaid,“Icandoit.”
IsaidthatIcoulddoit.
Hesaid,“Imustgo.”
Hesaidthathemustgo.
Yousaid,“Iknow.”
Yousaidthatyouknew.
Wesaid,“Wecandoit.”
Wesaidthatwecoulddoit.
Theysaid,“Wemustgo.”
Theysaidthattheymustgo.
Isaid“Wecandoit.”
Isaidthatwecoulddoit.(We中包括I)
如果在直接引語中,代詞為第二人稱,在間接引語中它將變成與引話動詞的賓語一致的人稱:
Itoldhim,“Youareright.”
Itoldhimthathewasright.
Itoldyou,“Youareright.”
Itoldyouthatyouwereright.
Hetoldme,“Youareright.”
HetoldmethatIwasright.
Hetoldus,“Youareright.”
Hetoldusthatwewereright.
Wetoldthem,“Youareright.”
Wetoldthemthattheywereright.”
Tosomebody也可看作是賓語:
Hesaidtome(=toldme),“Youareright.”
HesaidtomethatIwasright.
Heexplainedtothem,“Youhavegonethewrongway.”
Heexplainedtothemthattheyhadgonethewrongway.
引話動詞的賓語有時可以省略,但它在間接引語中可能需要說出來:
TheyaskedmewhenIwouldgetmarried.Isaid,“Youwilllearnitverysoon.”…Isaidthattheywouldlearnitverysoon.
如果在直接引語中代詞為第三人稱,在間接引語中,它可以保持不變:
Itoldyou,“Heiscrazy.”
Itoldyouthatheiscrazy.
Hetoldme,“Sheiscrazy.”
Hetoldmethatshewascrazy.
Wetoldhim,“Theyarecrazy.”
Wetoldhimthattheywerecrazy.
Hetoldme,“Heiscrazy.”(這兩個he代表兩個不同的人)
Hetoldmethatacertainpersonwascrazy.
還需指出,上述代詞,在直接或間接引語中,可以為任何“格”,而不僅僅是主格:Hetoldme,“Iwillaskmybrothertotakemetothepictures.”
Hetoldmethathewouldaskhisbrothertotakehimtothepictures.
Hedeclared“Wemusturgethemtoreturnourterritorytous1
Hedeclaredthatwemusturgethemtoreturnourterritorytous.
E.時間副詞(短語)
間接引語中的時間副詞(短語)可能和直接引語中的時間副詞(短語)不同,這是因為原來說話人提到的時間可能與現在引話人提到的時間不同:
Hesaid,“Maryisverybusynow.”
HesaidthatMarywasverybusythen.
Hesaid,“Marycameyesterday.”
HesaidthatMaryhadcomethedaybefore(orthepreviousday).
Hesaid,“Marycamefivedaysago.”
HesaidthatMaryhadcomefivedaysbefore(orfivedaysearlier).
Hesaid,“Marywillcometomorrow.”
HesaidthatMarywouldcomethefollowingday(orthenextday).
Hesaid,“Marywillcomeinfivedays1
HesaidthatMarywouldcomefivedaysafterwards(orlater).
F.第一主語及引話動詞的位置
在新聞報導中第一主語有時放在引話動詞的后面:
SaidStevens,“…”
CommentsDr.Lee,“…”
BoastedAsiaBankpresidentJohnBush,“…”
第一主語及引話動詞,除了放在直接引語前面外,還可放在其他位置:
Hesaid,“Oh!Ihavedonemybest.”
“Oh1hesaid,“Ihavedonemybest.”(但不說saidhe)
“Oh!Ihavedonemybest,”hesaid.(但不說saidhe)
“Oh!Ihavedonemybest.”(如果大家都清楚這話是誰說的,第一主語及引話動詞也可不必說出。)
在第一主語及引話動詞放在其他位置時,要注意標點符號:
Hesaid,“Oh,Ihavedonemybest;Ihavemadeeveryeffort.Butallinvain.”“Oh,”hesaid,“Ihavedonemybest;Ihavemadeeveryeffort.Butallinvain.”“Oh,Ihavedonemybest,”hesaid;“Ihavemadeeveryeffort,Butallinvain.”如果引話動詞有較長的修飾語,最好把它放在主語及引話動詞前面,如果主語及引話動詞在直接引語后面,長修飾語最好放在引話動詞后面:
Afterashortspaceofsilencehesaid,“I'llconsiderthisproblem.”
“I'llconsiderthisproblem,”hesaidafterashortspaceofsilence.
如果主語和引話動詞放在直接引語的中間或后面,作主語的名詞可以放在引話動詞的后面或前面(若主語是人稱代詞,只能放在動詞后面):
“Ithinkso,”hesaid(orLeosaid,saidLeo).(很少說saidhe)
“EverythingisOK1shesays(orAmysays,saysAmy).(很少說saysshe)
Ⅵ.簡單句的合并
1786兩個或更多簡單句可以合并成一個比較復雜的句子,這種練習對學習寫作的人很有好處。兩個或更多簡單句可借助并列連詞合并成一個復合句:
HesawJohn.Hegreetedhim.
HesawJohnandhegreetedhim.
IcalledonMary.Marywasill.
IcalledonMary,butMarywasill.

兩個或更多簡單句,也可以把其中一個或更多簡單句變成一個短語,甚至一個詞,來合并成一個較為復雜的簡單句:
Mr.Johnsonwillleaveourschool.Heisateacherofhistory.
Mr.Johnson,ateacherofhistory,willleaveourschool.(用同位語代替一個句子)Hedied.Heisforgotten.
Heisforgottenafterhisdeath.(用介詞短語代替句子)
Shepoisonedherself.Shehadaquarrelwithherhusband.
Shepoisonedherselfbecauseofhavingaquarrelwithherhusband.(用“介詞+動名詞”結構代替句子)

Ⅴ.直接引語和間接引語之間的轉換
說話人講的話可以用兩種方式來引用。如果引用他的原話,就稱作直接引語。因此Hesaid,“Iamveryill.”為直接引語。如果按引用人的觀點來引用,則稱為間接引語。因此Hesaidthathewasveryill.為間接引語。Said這樣的動詞稱為引話動詞,它前面的主語,例如he,可稱為第一主語。引語中的主語,如I及he,稱為第二主語。引語中的謂語動詞稱為第二動詞。當直接引語轉換為間接引語,或間接引語轉換為直接引語時,有幾個問題需要注意。

B.引話動詞與第二動詞
引話動詞可以是say,remark,observe,claim,explain,con-firm;ask,enquire,question;answer,reply;declare,announce;beg,urge,suggest,request,demand;order,command;object,deny,admit,agree,argue;warn,threaten;think,reflect,consider;write,cable,phone,telex;shout,laugh,sneer等等。
若引話動詞是現在時或將來時,則當引語由直接變為間接時,第二動詞照舊不變。但若引話動詞是過去時,則間接引語中的第二動詞,就要由現在時變為過去時,由過去時變為過去完成時等。

在新聞報導中第一主語有時放在引話動詞的后面:
SaidStevens,“…”
CommentsDr.Lee,“…”
BoastedAsiaBankpresidentJohnBush,“…”
第一主語及引話動詞,除了放在直接引語前面外,還可放在其他位置:
Hesaid,“Oh!Ihavedonemybest.”
“Oh1hesaid,“Ihavedonemybest.”(但不說saidhe)
“Oh!Ihavedonemybest,”hesaid.(但不說saidhe)
“Oh!Ihavedonemybest.”(如果大家都清楚這話是誰說的,第一主語及引話動詞也可不必說出。)
15
在第一主語及引話動詞放在其他位置時,要注意標點符號:
Hesaid,“Oh,Ihavedonemybest;Ihavemadeeveryeffort.Butallinvain.”
“Oh,”hesaid,“Ihavedonemybest;Ihavemadeeveryeffort.Butallinvain.”
“Oh,Ihavedonemybest,”hesaid;“Ihavemadeeveryeffort,Butallinvain.”
如果引話動詞有較長的修飾語,最好把它放在主語及引話動詞前面,如果主語及引話動詞在直接引語后面,長修飾語最好放在引話動詞后面:
Afterashortspaceofsilencehesaid,“I'llconsiderthisproblem.”“I'llconsiderthisproblem,”hesaidafterashortspaceofsilence.如果主語和引話動詞放在直接引語的中間或后面,作主語的名詞可以放在引話動詞的后面或前面(若主語是人稱代詞,只能放在動詞后面):
“Ithinkso,”hesaid(orLeosaid,saidLeo).(很少說saidhe)“EverythingisOK1shesays(orAmysays,saysAmy).(很少說saysshe)
