第十八章 賓語 直接引語和間接引語(2)

　　1 .在引用一個疑問句時，除了注意人稱、狀語等的變更和時態(tài)的一致之外，還要注意把引語中的語序變?yōu)殛愂鼍涞恼Z序，也就是要把主語放在謂語前面：

　　The secretary asked , " What's your occupation ? "

　　The secretary asked what my occupation was .

　　秘書問我是什么職業(yè)。

　　He asked , " Where are you to get off , John ? "

　　He asked John where he was to get off .

　　他問約翰什么地方下車。

　　這種引語前連詞that 是永遠也不能用的。如果引的是個一般問句、選擇問句或反意問句，在引語前要用連詞whether 或if :

　　He asked , " Are you sure your mother will come ? "

　　He asked whether ( if ) 1 was sure my mother would come .

　　他問我是不是能肯定我媽會來。

　　He asked , " Are you a teacher or a student ? "

　　He asked me whether I was a teacher or a student .

　　他問我是老師還是同學。

　　2 .在引述一個祈使句時，我們通常用一個簡單句，這個請求或命令由一個復合賓語表示出來：

　　He said , " Please come again tomorrow . "

　　He asked me to go there again the next day .

　　他要我第二天再去。

　　He said , " Don t do that again . "

　　He told me not to do that again .

　　他讓我以后再不要這樣做。

　　He said , " Get everything ready in two hours . "

　　He ordered ( told ) us to get everything ready in two hours .

　　他命令我們在兩小時內(nèi)把一切準備好。

　　在這種句子中用什么作謂語，要根據(jù)所引句子的口氣來決定。

　　3 .驚嘆句以間接引語的形式引述的時候是比較少的。如果這樣引用，要設法傳出原來句子表達的情緒：

　　"What a lovely garden!

　　He remarked with admiration that it was such a lovely garden .

　　他贊嘆這花園是多么可愛。

　　但這一點是不易做到的。用直接引語反而能更好地傳出原來的情緒。
