引用别人的话有两种方式,一种是直接引用别人原句,这叫直接引语,英语中要如何使用直接引语呢?以下是由爱华网小编整理关于直接引语的用法的内容,希望大家喜欢!
直接引语的用法
①直接引语如果是陈述句,间接引语应改为由that引导的宾语从句。如:
She said, "Our bus will arrive in five minutes."
→She said that their bus would arrive in five minutes.
②直接引语如果是反意疑问句、选择疑问句或一般疑问句,间接引语应改为由whether或if引导的宾语从句.
如:
He said, "Can you swim, John?"
→He asked John if he could swim.
"You have finished the homework, haven‘t you?" my mother asked.
→My mother asked me whether I had finished the homework.
"Do you go to school by bus or by bike?"
→He asked me if I went to school by bus or by bike.
③直接引语如果是特殊问句,间接引语应该改为由疑问代词或疑问副词引导的宾语从句(宾语从句必须用陈
述句语序)。
She asked me, "When do they have their dinner?"
→ She asked me when they had their dinner.
④直接引语如果是祈使句,间接引语应改为"tell (ask) sb (not) to do sth."句型。
"Don’t make any noise," she said to the children.
→She told (ordered) the children not to make any noise.
"Bring me a cup of tea, please," said she.
→She asked him to bring her a cup of tea.
⑤直接引语如果是以“Let‘s”开头的祈使句,变为间接引语时,通常用“suggest +动名词(或从句)。”如:
He said, "Let’s go to the film."
→He suggested going to the film.
或He suggested that they should go to see the film.
⑥直接引语是感叹句时,间接引语为what 或how 引导,也可以用that 引导。
She said, "What a lovely day it is !"
→She said what a lovely day it was .或She said that it was a lovely day.
⑦如果直接引语中含有since, when, while 引导的表示过去时间的状语从句,在变为间接引语时,只改变主句中的谓语动词,从句的一般过去时则不变。如:
He said to me, "I have taught English since he came here ."
→He told me that he had taught English since he came here.
直接引语的注意事项在以下几种情况下。在直接引语变为间接引语时,时态一般不变化。
①直接引语是客观真理。
②主句谓语为一般现在时,变间接引语时,若主句谓语时态不变仍为一般现在时,从句时态也不变。
③直接引语是一般现在时,且表示反复出现或习惯性的动作,变间接引语,时态不变。如:
He said, "I get up at six every morning。" →He said he gets up at six every morning。
④直接引语为谚语警句或名人名言时,时态不变。
⑤直接引语为客观事实真理,时态不变,常考的有:
Light travels faster than sound.光速比声速快。
The earth goes around the sun.地球绕着太阳转。
The moon goes around the earth.月球绕着地球转。
