学士学位英语考试备考辅导：间接引语的错误

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&rdquo

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.
