unit 4語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)解析2及習(xí)題

Unit4HesaidIwashard-working.

單元教學(xué)資料總匯

本周教學(xué)內(nèi)容：Unit4

一、學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)：

1.掌握直接引語(yǔ)與間接引語(yǔ)的意義、功能及用法；

2.進(jìn)一步熟練過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)(一般過(guò)去時(shí)、過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí))。

二、學(xué)習(xí)重點(diǎn)難點(diǎn)：

1.直接引語(yǔ)(DirectSpeech)是指原封不動(dòng)的引用原話,把它放在引號(hào)內(nèi)，

例如：

Mothertoldme,“Youshouldfinishyourhomeworkfirst,thenyoucan

gooutandplaywithyourfriends.”

Theysaid,“Wewanttohavearest.”

間接引語(yǔ)(ReportedSpeech,又叫IndirectSpeech)即用自己的話加以

轉(zhuǎn)述，被轉(zhuǎn)述的話不放在引號(hào)內(nèi)。上面兩個(gè)例句變成間接引語(yǔ)應(yīng)該是：

MothertoldmethatIshouldfinishmyhomeworkfirstandthenIcould

gooutandplaywithmyfriends.

Theysaidtheywantedtohavearest.

2.當(dāng)我們把直接引語(yǔ)變成間接引語(yǔ)時(shí)，由于引述動(dòng)詞(said,told等)一

般都是過(guò)去時(shí)形式，因此間接引語(yǔ)中的動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)、人稱代詞、限定詞、時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)、

地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)等一般都要做相應(yīng)的變化。有下面兒種情況：

1)現(xiàn)在時(shí)間推移到過(guò)去時(shí)間

所謂現(xiàn)在時(shí)間推移到過(guò)去時(shí)間指一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)變?yōu)橐话氵^(guò)去時(shí)，現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)變

成過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)，現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)變成過(guò)去完成時(shí)。例如：

Shesaid,“Iamhungry.r,

—>Shesaid(that)shewashungry.

Hesaid,“Thefamilyarefightingamongthemselves.”

—>Hesaid(that)thefamilywerefightingamongthemselves.

Tomsaid,“Ihavefoundwhat'swrongwiththecomputer.”

—>Tomsaidhehadfoundwhatwaswrongwiththecomputer.

在下列場(chǎng)合，盡管陳述動(dòng)詞為過(guò)去時(shí)形式，間接引語(yǔ)中的動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)卻不必

改變，即：

a)當(dāng)引述的是客觀事實(shí)、科學(xué)真理、現(xiàn)在習(xí)慣工作以及格言等內(nèi)容時(shí):

Hesaid,“Theword'laser'isanacronym(首字母縮略詞).”

—>Hesaidtheword'laser'isanacronym.

b)當(dāng)動(dòng)詞所表示的狀態(tài)或動(dòng)作在引述時(shí)仍在繼續(xù)時(shí)：

"I'mforty,"hesaid.

—>Hesaidheisforty.

c)當(dāng)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞包含無(wú)過(guò)去時(shí)形式的情態(tài)助動(dòng)詞時(shí)：

Hesaid,“Itmustbeprettylate.Ireallymustgo.”

—>Hesaiditmustbeprettylate,andhereallymustgo.

Hesaid,“Youmustn1tsmokeintheroom.n

—>HesaidImustn,tsmokeintheroom.

2)過(guò)去時(shí)間推移到過(guò)去的過(guò)去

這里需要注意以下兒點(diǎn)：

a)當(dāng)強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)先于引述動(dòng)詞時(shí)，一般過(guò)去時(shí)要變成過(guò)去完成體。

例如：

Hesaid,“Ididn,tknowyou.”

->Hesaidhehadn'tknownme.

當(dāng)“過(guò)去的過(guò)去”已經(jīng)不言自明，或者通過(guò)其他詞匯手段予以體現(xiàn)，或者

側(cè)重于強(qiáng)調(diào)所轉(zhuǎn)述的事實(shí)本身時(shí)，一般過(guò)去時(shí)形式可以不變。例如：

Annsaid,“Shewasbornin1981.

—>Annsaidshewasbornin1981.

b)過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)可以變成過(guò)去完成進(jìn)行時(shí)，也可以不變。例如：

Robertsaid,“IwasjokingwithMary.”

—>RobertsaidhehadbeenjokingwithMary.

RobertsaidhewasjokingwithMary.

c)過(guò)去完成時(shí)仍為過(guò)去完成時(shí)，不需改變。例如：

Hesaid,“Wehadn,treturnedtothestorewhenshecame.”

—>Hesaidtheyhadn'treturnedtothestorewhenshecame.

d)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)分句中的一般過(guò)去式或者過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)可以不變。例如：

Johnsaid,“WhenIlivedinLondonIoftensawJane.”

—>JohnsaidwhenhelivedinLondonhehadoftenseenJane.

JohnsaidwhenhelivedinLondonheoftensawJane.

3)將來(lái)時(shí)間推移到過(guò)去將來(lái)時(shí)間

最常見(jiàn)的是把表示將來(lái)時(shí)間的助動(dòng)詞由現(xiàn)在時(shí)形式變?yōu)檫^(guò)去時(shí)形式。例如：

Hesaid,"We'respendingnextweekendathome.”

->Hesaidtheywerespendingthenextweekendathome.

Shesaid,^Themilkwillgooff(變質(zhì))ifyoudon,tdrinkittoday.

—>ShesaidthemilkwouldgooffifIdidn'tdrinkitthatday.

Theysaid,"We'regoingtoHawaiithissummervacation.”

—>TheysaidtheyweregoingtoHawaiithatsummervacation.

但是，在引述時(shí)，如果原話中的動(dòng)作或者狀態(tài)屬于尚未到來(lái)的將來(lái)時(shí)間，

那么，可以不推移到過(guò)去將來(lái)時(shí)間。例如：

Hesaid,'T11bewaitingforyoutomorrow.

—>Hesaidhewillbewaitingformetomorrow.

4）人稱代詞、限定詞、時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)、地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)的變化

由上面的例子可以看出，當(dāng)直接引語(yǔ)變成間接引語(yǔ)時(shí)，除動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)變化外，

人稱代詞、限定詞、時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)、地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)等通常也作相應(yīng)的變化。

a）人稱代詞，除引述本人原話外，通常第一、二人稱變?yōu)榈谌朔Q，

或者第二人稱變?yōu)榈谝蝗朔Q；限定詞也作相應(yīng)的變化。例如：

Hesaid,“Weloveourcountry.”

—>Hesaidtheylovetheircounty.

b）指示代詞this,these分別變成that/it,those/they或them；指

示限定詞this,those通常變?yōu)閠hat,those或the。例如：

“Thishouseisveryexpensive,“shesaid.

—>Shesaidthathousewasveryexpensive.

Thechildrencamebackwithtwowalletsandsaid,“Wepickedthese

uponthepavement.”

—>Thechildrencamebackwithtwowalletsandsaidtheyhadpicked

themuponthepavement.

c）時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)在間接引語(yǔ)中的變化有三種情況：

i）時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)和動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)兩者都變。例如：

Hesaid,“Itwascompletesayearago.”

—>Hesaidithadbeencompletedayearbefore.

ii）時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)不變，動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)可變可不變。例如：

Shesaid,“WeleftParisat8a.m.”

—>ShesaidtheyhadleftParisat8a.m.

ShesaidtheyleftParisat8a.m.

iii）時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)變與不變需視具體情況而定，如果引述時(shí)間和說(shuō)話時(shí)間（如

同一年、同一月、同一天等），時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)可不變。例如：

Mr.Blacksaid,“WestartedlearningChineselastmonth.”

—>Mr.BlacksaidtheyhadstartedlearningChineselastmonth.

（同一月引述）

—>Mr.BlacksaidtheyhadstartedlearningChinesetheprevious

month.（可.在同一月引述，也可不在同一月引述）

時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)在間接引語(yǔ)中的變化規(guī)則如下：

直接引語(yǔ)間接引語(yǔ)

todaythatday

thismorning/afternoon,etc.thatmorning/afternoon,etc.

yesterdaythedaybefore,thepreviousday

(the)daybeforeyesterdaytwodaysbefore

tomorrowthenextday,thefollowingday,

(the)dayaftertomorrowtwodaysafter,intwodays'

time

nextweek/month,etc.thenextweek/month,etc.

lastweek/monththeweek/monthbefore

nowthen

d)地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)here通常變?yōu)閠here；但若說(shuō)話人所在地也就是引述人所

在地,可仍用here,也可用具體地點(diǎn)代替here。例如：

Shesaid,“Ifirstmetyourbrotherhere.n

—>Shesaidshefirstmetmybrotherthere.

“Arethechildrenhere?”Fatherasked.

—>Fatheraskedwhetherthechildrenwerehere.

好了，讓我們來(lái)檢查一下這些知識(shí)點(diǎn)的掌握情況。
