unit 4语言点解析2及习题

Unit4HesaidIwashard-working.

单元教学资料总汇

本周教学内容：Unit4

一、学习目标：

1.掌握直接引语与间接引语的意义、功能及用法；

2.进一步熟练过去时态(一般过去时、过去进行时)。

二、学习重点难点：

1.直接引语(DirectSpeech)是指原封不动的引用原话,把它放在引号内，

例如：

Mothertoldme,“Youshouldfinishyourhomeworkfirst,thenyoucan

gooutandplaywithyourfriends.”

Theysaid,“Wewanttohavearest.”

间接引语(ReportedSpeech,又叫IndirectSpeech)即用自己的话加以

转述，被转述的话不放在引号内。上面两个例句变成间接引语应该是：

MothertoldmethatIshouldfinishmyhomeworkfirstandthenIcould

gooutandplaywithmyfriends.

Theysaidtheywantedtohavearest.

2.当我们把直接引语变成间接引语时，由于引述动词(said,told等)一

般都是过去时形式，因此间接引语中的动词时态、人称代词、限定词、时间状语、

地点状语等一般都要做相应的变化。有下面儿种情况：

1)现在时间推移到过去时间

所谓现在时间推移到过去时间指一般现在时变为一般过去时，现在进行时变

成过去进行时，现在完成时变成过去完成时。例如：

Shesaid,“Iamhungry.r,

—>Shesaid(that)shewashungry.

Hesaid,“Thefamilyarefightingamongthemselves.”

—>Hesaid(that)thefamilywerefightingamongthemselves.

Tomsaid,“Ihavefoundwhat'swrongwiththecomputer.”

—>Tomsaidhehadfoundwhatwaswrongwiththecomputer.

在下列场合，尽管陈述动词为过去时形式，间接引语中的动词时态却不必

改变，即：

a)当引述的是客观事实、科学真理、现在习惯工作以及格言等内容时:

Hesaid,“Theword'laser'isanacronym(首字母缩略词).”

—>Hesaidtheword'laser'isanacronym.

b)当动词所表示的状态或动作在引述时仍在继续时：

"I'mforty,"hesaid.

—>Hesaidheisforty.

c)当谓语动词包含无过去时形式的情态助动词时：

Hesaid,“Itmustbeprettylate.Ireallymustgo.”

—>Hesaiditmustbeprettylate,andhereallymustgo.

Hesaid,“Youmustn1tsmokeintheroom.n

—>HesaidImustn,tsmokeintheroom.

2)过去时间推移到过去的过去

这里需要注意以下儿点：

a)当强调动作或状态先于引述动词时，一般过去时要变成过去完成体。

例如：

Hesaid,“Ididn,tknowyou.”

->Hesaidhehadn'tknownme.

当“过去的过去”已经不言自明，或者通过其他词汇手段予以体现，或者

侧重于强调所转述的事实本身时，一般过去时形式可以不变。例如：

Annsaid,“Shewasbornin1981.

—>Annsaidshewasbornin1981.

b)过去进行时可以变成过去完成进行时，也可以不变。例如：

Robertsaid,“IwasjokingwithMary.”

—>RobertsaidhehadbeenjokingwithMary.

RobertsaidhewasjokingwithMary.

c)过去完成时仍为过去完成时，不需改变。例如：

Hesaid,“Wehadn,treturnedtothestorewhenshecame.”

—>Hesaidtheyhadn'treturnedtothestorewhenshecame.

d)时间状语分句中的一般过去式或者过去进行时可以不变。例如：

Johnsaid,“WhenIlivedinLondonIoftensawJane.”

—>JohnsaidwhenhelivedinLondonhehadoftenseenJane.

JohnsaidwhenhelivedinLondonheoftensawJane.

3)将来时间推移到过去将来时间

最常见的是把表示将来时间的助动词由现在时形式变为过去时形式。例如：

Hesaid,"We'respendingnextweekendathome.”

->Hesaidtheywerespendingthenextweekendathome.

Shesaid,^Themilkwillgooff(变质)ifyoudon,tdrinkittoday.

—>ShesaidthemilkwouldgooffifIdidn'tdrinkitthatday.

Theysaid,"We'regoingtoHawaiithissummervacation.”

—>TheysaidtheyweregoingtoHawaiithatsummervacation.

但是，在引述时，如果原话中的动作或者状态属于尚未到来的将来时间，

那么，可以不推移到过去将来时间。例如：

Hesaid,'T11bewaitingforyoutomorrow.

—>Hesaidhewillbewaitingformetomorrow.

4）人称代词、限定词、时间状语、地点状语的变化

由上面的例子可以看出，当直接引语变成间接引语时，除动词时态变化外，

人称代词、限定词、时间状语、地点状语等通常也作相应的变化。

a）人称代词，除引述本人原话外，通常第一、二人称变为第三人称，

或者第二人称变为第一人称；限定词也作相应的变化。例如：

Hesaid,“Weloveourcountry.”

—>Hesaidtheylovetheircounty.

b）指示代词this,these分别变成that/it,those/they或them；指

示限定词this,those通常变为that,those或the。例如：

“Thishouseisveryexpensive,“shesaid.

—>Shesaidthathousewasveryexpensive.

Thechildrencamebackwithtwowalletsandsaid,“Wepickedthese

uponthepavement.”

—>Thechildrencamebackwithtwowalletsandsaidtheyhadpicked

themuponthepavement.

c）时间状语在间接引语中的变化有三种情况：

i）时间状语和动词时态两者都变。例如：

Hesaid,“Itwascompletesayearago.”

—>Hesaidithadbeencompletedayearbefore.

ii）时间状语不变，动词时态可变可不变。例如：

Shesaid,“WeleftParisat8a.m.”

—>ShesaidtheyhadleftParisat8a.m.

ShesaidtheyleftParisat8a.m.

iii）时间状语变与不变需视具体情况而定，如果引述时间和说话时间（如

同一年、同一月、同一天等），时间状语可不变。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）

时间状语在间接引语中的变化规则如下：

直接引语间接引语

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)地点状语here通常变为there；但若说话人所在地也就是引述人所

在地,可仍用here,也可用具体地点代替here。例如：

Shesaid,“Ifirstmetyourbrotherhere.n

—>Shesaidshefirstmetmybrotherthere.

“Arethechildrenhere?”Fatherasked.

—>Fatheraskedwhetherthechildrenwerehere.

好了，让我们来检查一下这些知识点的掌握情况。
