直接引语(Direct speech) 间接引语(Indirect speech / Reported speech)
直接引语是将别人的原话或陈述以原封不动的方式引述出来,并使用引号将其括起来。直接引语通常用于在口头与文本中直接引用别人的精确措辞。 间接引语是通过对别人的原言进行转述或概括,而不是逐字逐句地引述。在间接引语中,通常使用动词如 "say"、"tell"、"ask" 等来引导引述,同时也不使用引号所有的间接引语都是宾语从句
  • He said, "I am happy to see you." 他说道:“我很高兴见到你。”
  • "I won!" she shouted loudly. 她大声喊道:“我赢了!”
  • He said that he was happy to see me. 他说他很高兴见到我。
  • She exclaimed that she had won. 她喊道她赢了。
引用的方式取决于具体的情境和文体。间接引语更为常见于书面英语中(报道),而直接引语常用于口语和直接引述他人的原话

情态动词的变化

从句原情态动词(直接引语) 从句变后情态动词(间接引语)
can could
will would
be going to
may might
和时态变化的原理一样,情态动词“直接引语”变为“间接引语”时,时态需要向“前”(前面的、过去的)推一步。理解直接引语间接引语后可以加深时态变化就是动词的变化。更深入的了解情态动词时态变化的型式。

课文情态动词间接引语的时态

采访内容 报道内容

Are you really going to retire, Miss Marsh? I may.

Miss Marsh told reporters she might retire.
转述的原话:I might retire.主语:told 引起的过去式
I can't make up my mind. She said she couldn't make up her mind.
said引用情态动词的变化,主语由my变为了her
I will have to ask my future husband. She said she would have to ask her future husband.
由一般将来时的will变成了would
He won't let me make another film. She said her future husband would not let her make another film.
由will not 变为了 would not

Your future husband, Miss Marsh?

Yes. Let me introduce him to you.

His name is Carlos.

Then she introduced us to Carlos!
这里没有情态动词,所以是实义动词的改变。
We're going to get married next week. and told us they would get married next week.
was/were going to 太长了,所以使用would替代
