2017成人英语句子挑错中间接引语的错误

  导语:在英语里,我们可以用两种方法转述人的话语。第一种是直接引语(The Direct Speech);第二种是间接引语(The Indirect Speech),也可叫“The Reported Speech”)。下面YJBYS小编讲解成人英语句子挑错中间接引语的错误,欢迎参考!

2017成人英语句子挑错中间接引语的错误

  从直接引语转变为间接引语是一种表达行式的改变,不影响原意。例如:

  ① a. He said, "I am working now."

  b. He said that he was working then.

  ② a. She asked me, "Do you like to sing?"

  b. She asked me if I liked to sing.

  ③ a. "Go out!" the man said to the boy.

  b. The man ordered the boy to go out.

  ①b, ②b, ③b是间接引语,其形式和①a, ②a, ③a不同。

  间接引语是种常见的句法,用得很多。正因为用得多,出错的机会也多。下面便是些例子:

  ④ He said that he would come tomorrow.

  这里的副词“tomorrow”要变成“the next day”。理由是:间接引语里的时间副词或短语, 一般上要把其中的时间向前推,如: tomorrow: the next day; today: that day; last night: the night before; now: then; ago: before that time 等。

  ⑤ I asked what is wrong with him.

  这里的“is”要变成“was”。须知:主句“I asked”和分句 “what is wrong with him”的动词时态必须配合。既然主句的动词 “asked”是过去时态,分句的`动词也要过去时态“was”。此外,动词时态一般上也要推前,因此简单过去时态(Simple Past Tense)要变成过去完成时态(Past Perfect Tense),如:went : had gone; left : had left.

  ⑥ John told her don't do that again.

  这里的“don't do”要变成“not to do”才对。理由是:祈使句变成间接引语时的形式是不定式动词:“to + verb / not to + verb”,如:to come / not to come; to do / not to do.

  ⑦ She asked me where was I going.

  这里的“was I”词序不对, 要变成“I was”才是,因为间接疑问句(indirect question)里的词序和叙述句一样,是正常词序,不是倒装法,如:

  ⑧ He wanted to know who that girl was.

  ⑨ John asked Helen if she was free.

  ⑩ She asked me whether I could help her.

  如果词序是倒装形式,就错了:

  ……who was that girl.

  ……if was she free.

  ……whether could I help her.

  关于间接疑问句,还有一点必须注意的是,直接疑问句里的疑问词要照用, 如例⑧的“who”。如果没有疑问词,就要借重连接词“ if”或“ whether”之助,如例⑨和⑩便是。

  在结束本文之前,顺便提一提怎样把表示惊叹或愿望的直接引语转成间接引语。

  11. He said, "Alas! I am undone."

  12. "Bravo! You have done a good job, Mary," said the teacher.

  13. "Good Heaven!' Tom cried, "I'll never lie again."

  把11-13,转变为14-16时, 可以用恰当的动词把深层的意思反映出来,甚至加些原文没有的字眼,也无所谓:

  14. He exclaimed that he was undone.

  15. The teacher praised Mary, saying that she had done a good job.

  16. Tom called upon Heaven to witness his determination not to lie again.
