第二课
【语法点拨】直接引语和间接引语的转换
在直接引语和间接引语的转换中，时态的变化十分重要的，也很容易出错，因为汉语
中没有时态的变化。但间接引语部分实际上是宾语从句，所以规则其实不难掌握。
• 当主句的谓语动词是现在时态
◦ 直接引语变为间接引语，时态保持不变
▪ Joe says, "I know your uncle."
乔说：“我认识你的叔叔。”
▪ Joe says he knows my uncle.
乔说他认识我的叔叔。
▪ John says, "I've been reading the book this week."
约翰说：“我这周一直在看这本书。”
▪ John says he has been reading the book that week.
约翰说他那周一直在看那本书。
• 当主句的谓语动词是过去时态
◦ 直接引语变为间接引语，时态也要变成相应的过去时态
直接引语中的时态 间接引语中的时态
一般现在时 一般过去时
一般过去时 过去完成时
现在完成时 过去完成时
过去完成时 过去完成时(不变)
一般将来时 过去将来时
现在进行时 过去进行时
现在完成进行时 过去完成进行时
◦ 助动词的变化
直接引语中的助动词 间接引语中的助动词
shall should/would
should should(不变)
will would
would would(不变)
may might
might might(不变)
can could
could could(不变)
must must(不变)
◦ He said, "You are right." 他说：“你是对的。”
He said that I was right. 他说我是对的。
◦ My mother said, "The door isn't locked." 我妈妈说：“门没锁。”
My mother said that the door wasn't locked. 我妈妈说门没锁。
◦ The old man said, "I came here on foot." 那位老人说：“我是步行到这来
的。”
The old man said that he had gone there on foot.那位老人说他是步行去那
里的。
◦ Joe told me, "Mr. Li won't come until 9:00." 乔告诉我：“李先生要 9 点
才到。”
Joe told me that Mr. Li wouldn't come until 9:00.乔告诉我李先生要 9 点才
到。
◦ 如果直接引语中有具体的时间，那么间接引语中的一般过去时态就不要变成
过去完成时，而是保持不变。
▪ My boss told me, "I visited this museum in 2001."我的老板告诉我：
“我在 2001 年参观了这个博物馆。”
My boss told me that he visited that museum in 2001.我的老板告诉我他
2001 年参观了那个博物馆。
• 当直接引语是真理或客观事实
◦ 当引语表达的是真理或客观事实时，不论主句的时态是现在时态还是过去时
态，间接引语的时态都不变。
▪ Someone concluded, "The earth goes around the sun."有人说：
“地球围绕太阳转。”
Someone concluded that the earth goes around the sun. 有人说地球围
绕太阳转。
▪ Mom told me, "The earth is round."妈妈告诉我：“地球是圆的。”
▪ Mom told me that the earth is round. 妈妈告诉我地球是圆的。
▪ Ann told her daughter, "Beijing is in the north of China."安告诉女
儿：“北京在中国的北方。”
