【写作技巧】你会用间接引语吗?
如果我们要引用或转述他人所说的话时,通常不会直接引用他们的原话(直接引语),而是使用间接引语。
在以第三人称书写的书信中,若提到过去发生的的一段对话,我们需使用间接引语。
因此,我们要学习如何将直接引语转化成间接引语。转化陈述句,疑问句或祈使句时,间接引语的结构会有所不同。
间接陈述句:
在转述一句陈述句时,你需要检查一下几处的改变:
- 代词
- 时态(如果转述动词是过去式,通常在间接引语中依然使用过去式)
- 方位和时间名词(如果提到的话)
例如:
1. 直接引语:I will go to your birthday party
间接引语:He said (that)he would come to my birthday party.
或:He says (that) he will come to my birthday party.
2. 直接引语:I love ice cream.
间接引语:She says (that) she loves ice cream.
间接疑问句:
值得注意的是,我们一旦将问题向他人复述了,它便不再是一个问题了。因此,我们需要将其改成肯定句的语法形式。
例如:
1. 直接引语:Where do you live?
间接引语:She asked me where I lived.
2. 直接引语:Do you like ice cream?
间接引语:He asked me whether I liked ice cream.
或 He asked me if I liked ice cream.
间接祈使句:
假如别人(有礼貌地)请求你做一件事呢?我们无需将句子中的每个单词都向他人复述,而是使用“ask me to+动词不定式”或“ask me not to+动词不定式” 将祈使句改成陈述句。
例如:
1. 直接引语:Could you open the window, please?
间接引语:She asked me to open the window.
2. 直接引语:Please don’t smoke in the restaurant.
间接引语:She asked me not to smoke in that restaurant.
3. 直接引语:Could you bring my book tonight?
间接引语:She asked me to bring her book that night.
4. 直接引语:Guys, please don’t be late.
间接引语:She asked us not to be late.
