第二十九課　間接引句（二）
一.本課要點及示例

在這一課里, 我們繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)怎么樣引述別人或是自己以前說過的話.

首先我們還是依照慣例, 聽一段對話, 內(nèi)容是說彼得轉(zhuǎn)告凱特, 亨利打電話回 家, 交待了一些什么事情. 請你特別注意英文老師的發(fā)音和語調(diào).

M: Mom, Dad called and said that he wouldn't be home for dinner.

F: Did he say why?

M: Yes,he said that one of the men was sick and he was going to stay for the afternoon shift.

F: Did he say when he would be home?

M: He didn't say. But he did say that he was tired. He had had a busy day.

F: Did he say why?

M: He said that there had been a big fire in town and it had taken nearly all morning to put it out.

F: I hope that he wasn't hurt.

現(xiàn)在我們把整段對話再聽一遍, 請你注意聽.

M: Mom, Dad called and said that he wouldn't be home for dinner.

F: Did he say why?

M: Yes,he said that one of the men was sick and he was going to stay for the afternoon shift.

F: Did he say when he would be home?

M: He didn't say. But he did say that he was tired. He had had a busy day.

F: Did he say why?

M: He said that there had been a big fire in town and it had taken nearly all morning to put it out.

F: I hope that he wasn't hurt.

下面老師再把對話里的間接引句念一遍給你聽.

M: Dad said that he wouldn't be home for dinner.

M: He said that one of the men was sick.

F: Did he say when he would be home?

M: He did say that he was tired.

M: He said that there had been a big fire in town.

二.間接引句復(fù)習(xí)

從上面的幾個句子你可以看出間接引句的一些規(guī)則,有一些我們在上一課已經(jīng) 學(xué)過; 有些我們今天要學(xué).

首先我們復(fù)習(xí)上一課教過的. 第一組練習(xí)是由彼得或是凱特說幾句話, 然后由 別人引述一遍, 請你注意聽.

M: Henry is going to stay for the afternoon shift.

F: Peter said that Henry was going to stay for the afternoon shift.

M: He will be busy in the afternoon.

F: Peter said that Henry would be busy in the afternoon.

M: He can't come home for dinner.

F: Peter said that Henry couldn't come home for dinner.

F: Is Henry tired?

M: Kate asked if Henry was tired.

F: Is Henry hurt?

M: Kate asked whether Henry was hurt.

三.引述疑問句

聽了上面一組練習(xí), 我想你對我們上一課教過的間接引句已經(jīng)有了印象, 尤其 是怎么樣引述問句. 現(xiàn)在我們來學(xué)習(xí)怎么樣引述用疑問詞.比方 "為什么" why, "哪兒" where, "什么時候" when 開頭的疑問句. 如果有人問你: "你什么時候下 班?" When are you going to be off duty? 在引述這句話的時候你就應(yīng)該這么說:

Someone asked me when I was going to be off duty. 請你注意, 因為有疑問詞, 所以在間接引句里疑問詞代替了我們以前學(xué)過 if, whether, 或是 that, 但是仍 然必須把問句改為過去時態(tài)陳述句. 我再舉一個例子, 比方有人問你:"怎么樣 才能作救火員?" How can one be a fire fighter? 在引述這句話的時候你就應(yīng)該 這么說: Someone asked me how one could be a fire fighter.

現(xiàn)在我們作一組練習(xí),學(xué)學(xué)這種說法.練習(xí)的作法是由凱特問一些有關(guān)亨利跟 其他救火員的情況的問題, 然后學(xué)生就把凱特的話引述一遍. 在學(xué)生 作練習(xí) 的時候請你也一起作.

F: Why isn't Henry coming home for dinner?

M: Kate asked why Henry wasn't coming home for dinner.

F: Why is he going to stay for the afternoon shift?

M: Kate asked why Henry was going to stay for the afternoon shift.

F: Where is he?

M: Kate asked where Henry was.

F: How is he?

M: Kate asked how Henry was.

F: How are his fellow fire fighters?

M: Kate asked how Henry's fellow fire fighters were.

F: When is he going to be off duty?

M: Kate asked when Henry was going to be off duty.

F: When is he coming home?

M: Kate asked when Henry was coming home.
