直接引語轉換為間接引語的技巧
引述某人的話一般采用兩種形式：一種是直接引語，即原封不動地引用原話，把它放在引號內；另一種是間接引語，即用自己的話加以轉述，被轉述的內容不放在引號內。下面我們一起來學習幾種直接引語轉換為間接引語的技巧。
一、人稱的轉換
1. 直接引語中的第一人稱，一般轉換為第三人稱
如：He said，“I am very sorry.”→He said that he was very sorry.
2. 直接引語中的第二人稱，如果原話是針對轉述人說的，應轉換為第一人稱
如：“You should be more careful next time.”my father told me.→ My father told me that I should be more careful the next time.
3. 直接引語中的第二人稱，如果原話是針對第三人稱說的，要轉換成第三人稱
如：She said to her son， “I’ll check your homework tonight.”→ She said to her son that she would check his homework that night.
4. 人稱的轉換包括人稱代詞、物主代詞和名詞性物主代詞等
如：He asked me，“Will you go to the station with me to meet a friend of mine this afternoon？”→He asked me whether I would go to the station with him to meet a friend of his that afternoon.
5. 口訣巧記人稱變化
口訣：“一主、二賓、三不變”。
（1）“一主”指當直接引語中的第一人稱變為間接引語時，要和主句中的主語在人稱上保持一致。
如：He said，“I am forty.”→ He said that he was forty.
（2）“二賓”指當直接引語中的第二人稱變為間接引語時，要和主句中的間接賓語保持人稱上的一致。
如：He said，“Are you coming tomorrow？”→He asked me if I was coming the next day.
（3）“三不變”指當直接引語中的第三人稱變為間接引語時，人稱不變。
如：He said，“Is she an English teacher？”→ He asked if she was an English teacher.
另外請同學們注意，直接引語為復數，引述者主語為單數時，間接引語的主語要相應變為復數。
如：He said，“Are you interested in English？”→ He asked us if we were interested in English.
總之，人稱的轉換不是固定的，具體情況具體對待，要符合邏輯。
二、時態的轉換
直接引語轉換為間接引語時，主句中的謂語動詞如果是過去時，從句（即間接引語部分）中的謂語動詞在時態方面要做相應的變化，變成過去時范疇的各種時態（實際這也是賓語從句對時態的要求），變化如下：
如：“I am very glad to visit your school”，she said. →She said she was very glad to visit our school.
Tom said，“We are listening to the pop music.”→ Tom said that they were listening to the pop music.
Mother asked，“Have you finished your homework
before you watch TV？” → Mother asked me whether I had finished my homework before I watched TV.
He asked the conductor，“Where shall I get off to change to a No. 3 bus？”→ He asked the conductor where he would get off to change to a No. 3 bus.
“Why did she refuse to go there？” the teacher asked. →The teacher asked why she had refused to go there.
三、 句子結構的變化
1. 直接引語為陳述句時，用連詞that引導，that在口語中常省略。主句的謂語動詞可用said，也可用told來代替。請注意，可以說said that， said to sb. that或者told sb. that，不可直接說told that。
如：He said，“I have been to the Great Wall.”→He said to us that he had been to the Great Wall.
He said，“I’ll give you an examination next Monday.”→He told us that he would give us an examination the next Monday.
如果間接引語是由that引導的兩個或兩個以上的并列從句，第一個連詞可以省略，以后的連詞一般不省略，以免混亂。
如：The doctor said，“You are not seriously ill， you will be better soon.”→The doctor said（that）I was not seriously ill and that I would be better soon.
2. 直接引語為一般疑問句時，間接引語用連詞whether或if引導，原主句中的謂語動詞said要改為asked，語序是陳述句的語序，這一點非常重要。
如：He said，“Do you have any difficulty with
pronunciation？”→He asked（me） whether/if I had any difficulty with my pronunciation.
He said，“You are interested in English， aren’t you？”→He asked whether I was interested in English.
3. 直接引語為選擇疑問句時，間接引語用whether...or...表達，而不用if...or...，也不用either...or...，語序是陳述句語序。
如：He asked，“Do you speak English or French？”→ He asked me whether I spoke English or French.
I asked，“Will you take bus or take train？”→ I asked him whether he would take bus or take train.
4. 直接引語為特殊疑問句時，原來的疑問詞作為間接引語的連詞，主句的謂語動詞用ask（sb.）來表達，語序改為陳述句語序。
如：He asked，“What’s your name？”→He asked（me）what my name was.
He asked us，“How many car factories have been built in your country？”→He asked us how many car factories had been built in our country.
5. 直接引語為祈使句時，間接引語用帶to的不定式表達，謂語動詞常是ask， advise， tell， warn， order，request等。如ask sb. to do（用于肯定祈使句），ask sb. not to do（用于否定祈使句）。不定式短語中的時間狀語、地點狀語、人稱及時態都做相應的變化。
如：He said，“Be seated， please.”→ He asked us to be seated.
“Do be careful with your handwritting.”he said →He told me to be careful with my handwriting.
“Don’t touch anything in the lab without permission”，the teacher said. → The teacher warned the students not to touch anything in the lab without permission.
6. 有些直接引語含有“建議”“勸告”的祈使句，可用suggest，insist，offer等動詞轉述。
如：He said，“Let’s have a rest.”→He suggested us having a rest.
He said，“Let me help you.”→ He offered to help me.
7. 當直接引語形式上是疑問句，有表示“請求”“建議”的意義時，可用ask sb. to do sth.，advise sb. to do sth.等形式轉述。
如：“Would you mind opening the door？”he asked. →He asked me to open the door.
“Why not going out for a walk？”he asked us. →He advised us to go out for a walk.
8. 直接引語是感嘆句時，可用what或how引導，也可用that引導。
如：She said，“What a lovely day it is！” → She said what a lovely day it was. /She said that it was a lovely day.
四、從句時態無須改變的情況
1. 當主句的謂語動詞是一般現在時時
如：He always says，“I am tired out.”→ He always says that he is tired out.
2. 當主句的謂語動詞是一般將來時時
如：He will say，“I’ll try my best to help you.”→ He will say that he will try his best to help me.
3. 當直接引語部分帶有具體的過去時間狀語時
如：He said，“I went to college in 1994.”→ He told us that he went to college in 1994.
4. 當直接引語中有以when， while引導的從句，表示過去的時間時
如：He said，“When I was a child， I usually played football after school.” →He said that when he was a child， he usually played football after school.
5. 當直接引語是客觀真理或自然現象時
如：Our teacher said to us，“Light travels faster than sound.” →Our teacher told us that light travels faster than sound.
6. 當直接引語是諺語、格言時
如：He said，“Practice makes perfect.” → He said that practice makes perfect.
7.當直接引語中有情態動詞should，would，could，had better，would rather，might，must，ought to，used to，need時
如：The doctor said，“You’d better drink plenty of water.” → The doctor said I’d better drink plenty of water.
He said， “She must be a teacher.” → He said that she must be a teacher.
He said，“She ought to have arrived her office by now.” →He said that she ought to have arrived her office by then.
She asked，“Must I take the medicine？” → She asked if she had to take the medicine.
8. 除以上情況外，直接引語與間接引語的轉換要因實際情況而定，不能機械地照搬。如果當地轉述，here不必改為there，動詞come不必改為go。如果當天轉述yesterday，tomorrow，this afternoon等均不必改變。
