2017成人英語句子挑錯中間接引語的錯誤

來源：文萃谷 1.48W

導語：在英語裏，我們可以用兩種方法轉述人的話語。第一種是直接引語(The Direct Speech);第二種是間接引語(The Indirect Speech)，也可叫“The Reported Speech”)。下面YJBYS小編講解成人英語句子挑錯中間接引語的錯誤，歡迎參考!

　　從直接引語轉變為間接引語是一種表達行式的改變，不影響原意。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是間接引語，其形式和①a, ②a, ③a不同。

　　間接引語是種常見的句法，用得很多。正因為用得多，出錯的機會也多。下面便是些例子：

④ He said that he would come tomorrow.

這裏的副詞“tomorrow”要變成“the next day”。理由是：間接引語裏的時間副詞或短語，一般上要把其中的時間向前推，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.

這裏的“is”要變成“was”。須知：主句“I asked”和分句 “what is wrong with him”的動詞時態必須配合。既然主句的動詞 “asked”是過去時態，分句的`動詞也要過去時態“was”。此外，動詞時態一般上也要推前，因此簡單過去時態(Simple Past Tense)要變成過去完成時態(Past Perfect Tense)，如：went : had gone; left : had left.

⑥ John told her don't do that again.

這裏的“don't do”要變成“not to do”才對。理由是：祈使句變成間接引語時的形式是不定式動詞：“to + verb / not to + verb”，如：to come / not to come; to do / not to do.

⑦ She asked me where was I going.

　　這裏的“was I”詞序不對，要變成“I was”才是，因為間接疑問句(indirect question)裏的詞序和敍述句一樣，是正常詞序，不是倒裝法，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.

如果詞序是倒裝形式，就錯了：

……who was that girl.

……if was she free.

……whether could I help her.

關於間接疑問句，還有一點必須注意的是，直接疑問句裏的疑問詞要照用，如例⑧的“who”。如果沒有疑問詞，就要借重連接詞“ if”或“ whether”之助，如例⑨和⑩便是。
