英語寫作方法·英語直接引語和間接引語用法

英語作文的輸出需要大量的積累、不斷的練習，一些英語寫作方法還是應該多加注意。以下是小編整理的關于英語寫作方法·英語直接引語和間接引語用法的資料，希望對你有所幫助！

一、概述

引用或轉述別人說的話時有兩種方法：直接引述別人的原話，這叫做直接引語(direct speech)。用自己的話轉述別人的話，叫間接引語(indirect speech)。一般地講，直接引語前后要加引號，間接引語不用引號，而用賓語從句來表達。

Mr. Black said, “I'm busy.”布菜克先生說：“我很忙”。（直接引語）

Mr. Black said that he was busy.布菜克先生說他很忙。（賓語從句是間接引語）

從上例看來，直接引語改為間接引語時,除將直接引語改為賓語從句之外，還須對直接引語中的人稱和時態(tài)進行相應的變化，如上例直接引語中的I改成了he, am則改成了was?，F(xiàn)將由直接引語改為間接引語時應注意的問題,分述如下：

二、直接引語是陳述句時

直接引語如果是陳述句，變?yōu)殚g接引語時，用連詞that引導（that在口語中常省去），that從句之前用say、tell等動詞，從句中的人稱、時態(tài)、指示代詞、時間狀語、地點狀語等要作相應的變化。

1、人稱的變化

直接引語改為間接引語人稱要相應的變化，把直接引語中的第一人稱(如：I，me，my，mine，we，us，our，ours)變?yōu)榕c主句的主語相一致的人稱。把直接引語中的第二人稱(you，your，yours)變?yōu)楹椭骶涞拈g接賓語(即聽話人，如無聽話人，可根據(jù)上下文的體會人為確定一個人稱)相一致的人稱。直接引語中的第三人稱(he，him，his，she，her，hers,it，its,they,their，theirs，them)變?yōu)殚g接引語時，人稱不變。

He said , “I like it very much.” 他說：“我非常喜歡它”。

→He said that he liked it very much. 他說他非常喜歡它。(I改為he, it不變)

He said, “You told me this story.”他說：“你給我講過這個故事。”

→He said that I had told him that story.他說我給他講過那個故事。(You改為I, me改為him, told改為had told)

He told me that she had left her book in my room. 他對我說她把書放在我的房間里去了。（She's→she had， her不變，your→my）

2、 時態(tài)的變化

（1）主句的謂語動詞是一般過去時

如主句的謂語動詞是一般過去時，直接引語變間接引語時，從句的謂語動詞在時態(tài)方面要作相應的變化。直接引語改為間接引語時,動詞時態(tài)相應變化表：

He said, “I usually watch TV on Sunday.”他說：“我常在星期天看電視”。

→He said that he usually watched TV on Sunday.他說他常在星期天看電視。

He said, “I'm using the knife.”他說：“我正在用小刀。”

→He said that he had come to help me.他說他來幫助我。

→He said that he had finished his homework before supper.他說晚飯前他己做完了作業(yè)。

He said, “We shall have finished the work by that time.”他說：“我們將在那時以前完成工作。”

→He said that they should have finished the work by that time.他說他們將在那時以前完成工作。

注意：直接引語如果是客觀真理、名人名言、與一個具體的過去時間連用說明客觀事實時，變?yōu)殚g接引語時，時態(tài)不變。

→He said Columbus discovered America in 1492.他說哥倫布在1492年發(fā)現(xiàn)了美洲。

（2）主句的謂語動詞是現(xiàn)在時或將來時

如果主句的謂語動詞是現(xiàn)在時或將來時，直接引語變?yōu)殚g接引語時，時態(tài)一律不變
