直接引语和间接引语

1. 定义

直接引语:直接引用别人的原话,话中的内容原封不动地放在引号之中。例如:她说:“我很开心。”(“我很开心。”就是直接引语)

间接引语:把别人的话用自己的话转述出来,不用引号,在时态、人称代词、指示代词、时间状语和地点状语等方面可能会有变化。例如:她说她很开心。

2. 直接引语变间接引语的变化规则

人称变化:遵循“一主、二宾、三不变”原则。

一主”:如果直接引语中的主语是第一人称(我、我们),变为间接引语时,要和主句的主语保持一致。例如:

直接引语:I said, "I like reading."

间接引语:I said that I liked reading.

二宾”:如果直接引语中的主语是第二人称(你、你们),变为间接引语时,要和主句的宾语保持一致。例如:

直接引语:He said to me, "You are smart."

间接引语:He told me that I was smart.

三不变”:如果直接引语中的主语是第三人称(他、她、它、他们等),变为间接引语时,人称一般不变。例如:

直接引语:She said, "He is a good student."

间接引语:She said that he was a good student.

时态变化:当主句的谓语动词是一般过去时,直接引语变为间接引语时,从句的时态要作相应的变化。

一般现在时→一般过去时。例如:

直接引语:She said, "I am a nurse."

间接引语:She said that she was a nurse.

现在进行时→过去进行时。例如:

直接引语:He said, "I am reading a book."

间接引语:He said that he was reading a book.

一般将来时→过去将来时。例如:

直接引语:She said, "I will go to school tomorrow."

间接引语:She said that she would go to school the next day.

现在完成时→过去完成时。例如:

直接引语:He said, "I have finished my homework."

间接引语:He said that he had finished his homework.

注意:如果直接引语是客观真理、自然现象、名言警句等,变为间接引语时,时态不变。例如:

直接引语:The teacher said, "The earth goes around the sun."

间接引语:The teacher said that the earth goes around the sun.

指示代词、时间状语和地点状语的变化

指示代词:this→that,these→those。例如:

直接引语:He said, "This book is mine."

间接引语:He said that book was his.

时间状语:now→then,today→that day,yesterday→the day before,tomorrow→the next day/the following day,next week→the next week/the following week,ago→before等。

直接引语:She said, "I saw him yesterday."

间接引语:She said that she had seen him the day before.

地点状语:here→there。例如:

直接引语:He said, "I live here."

间接引语:He said that he lived there.

3. 直接引语和间接引语的句型转换

陈述句

直接引语是陈述句,变为间接引语时,用that引导(that可省略),并且要根据上述规则进行相应变化。例如:

直接引语:She said, "I am happy."

间接引语:She said (that) she was happy.

疑问句

一般疑问句:直接引语是一般疑问句,变为间接引语时,将一般疑问句语序变为陈述句语序,用if或whether引导。例如:

直接引语:He asked, "Are you a student?"

间接引语:He asked if/whether I was a student.

特殊疑问句:直接引语是特殊疑问句,变为间接引语时,将特殊疑问句语序变为陈述句语序,保留原来的疑问词。例如:

直接引语:She asked, "What are you doing?"

间接引语:She asked what I was doing.

祈使句

直接引语是祈使句,变为间接引语时,将祈使句的动词原形变为不定式,根据语气使用ask/tell/order等动词。例如:

直接引语:The teacher said, "Sit down, please."

间接引语:The teacher asked us to sit down.
